Complaint Letter

30 18th Avenue
Tauranga

Tuesday 15th April, 2014
 
I went to Burger King, Fraser Cove and ordered a frozen coke on the 10th of April.
I went there and ordered one because I was thirsty.

It took about 20 minutes to make it for me, it cost $1 which is cheap. There was only one counter open so there was quite a line and it was moving slowly.

It would be better if they had more staff working after school to help with all the customers because its always busy from 3:00 to 3:30 pm. 

Your sincerely, 
Max Townsend
