This was one of my worst experiences ever eating at a fast food restaurant. The GM (Mike) gave me my order minus two orders of medium fries. As I returned to the drive thru window he walked away. The cashier however was very much more pleasant, she gave me the missing order. However, I observed her take fries that was already in a box to order back into the fry catcher and seasoned again with fresh fries, making my entire fry order uneatable. Also note I also ordered two children and fry boxes for my two youngest children and they also complained about their food being to salty
