It reads... "Please visit this location and ask for Kayla...You're gonna thank me later..She is amazing!!! Her customer service skills is outstanding, if you're indecisive like I am to what you want or have a taste for, she takes her time and recommends items on the menu board and most of all, she doesn't rush customers and takes her time. I watch this young lady serve customers at drive-thru and in the dining room at the same time...This location gets 5 stars because Kayla works here...I'm sure everyone else who works here are probably good staff, but Kayla definitely stood out the most.."
