Burkindi

This was my first time visiting the establishment. Upon arrival, the cashier was engaged in a loud conversation with someone in the kitchen, but I chose to wait patiently for my order. When it came time to pay, she told me the total was $43, and I was prepared to pay that amount. However, I noticed that she had mistakenly entered $0.43 into the system.
