We came through the drive in and there was only one person working there. The manager’s name was Sandra and she was doing all the cooking, taking orders, and handing them out in the drive through all by herself. You could tell that woman needed a break! Checkers what is going on!!?? Sandra stayed positive and we appreciated that.
