Having been an assistant manager in both Denny's and Taco Bell, Customers are your PRIORITY. I took my girlfriend out to dinner and when she went to query the clerk, she was waved away and told they didn't want her there. As a paying customer that is preposterous. Customers are your lifeblood. Without them your store is failed.
