Nathan Lake (ID: 0000007e17db6906) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/26/2021 Unacceptable, this extension only gives you a cheeseburger with fries. I asked for a Hamburger and THIS IS WHAT I GET. I do not like cheeseburgers as the cheese is all melted. The fries tasted like dried cardboard (how did you mess that up) . Also the cheese of the burger was even THE WRONG COLOUR. Fix This NOW. thanks.
