Today I stopped in with my 8th grade softball team. I think it was Taylor (one of my girls thought she read that) she was working by herself and she did absolutely amazing! She took care of all 17 girls and 2 coaches. She was very polite and calm. That many orders she handled it very well. It’s always fun to stop by after playing and get a nice cold treat! :)
The young girl working today was an absolute sweetheart she let my girls try a sample and was so sweet! Definitely coming back!
Staff is great and fun.
