The girls who work here are genuinely the sweetest. I've occasionally popped in after the gym a few times, and they’ve always been super friendly. Today I ended up leaving my phone in my dad’s car by accident and was completely locked out of my gym, so I was kinda stuck alone with no way to contact anyone. I asked the girls behind the counter if I could use one of their phones (which I know is such a weird thing to ask haha), but they didn’t even hesitate - they just handed it over so I could try to message him. They definitely saved me from being stuck there for like 3-4 hours. I tried to say thank you as I left, but they were a bit busy working - But again, I really appreciate it. You don’t get kindness like that everywhere! <33 (Also, the strawberry frappe here might've genuinely been the best drink I've ever had, tysm!!!)
