"In the beginning of the summer when it was extremely hot, it would be extremely hot in the kitchen because the AC wasn't working and temperatures were reaching the mid-90s most days. It was causing a lot of issues with employees, they were getting dehydrated. That took three or four weeks to get fixed. One of the days I was extremely delirious, I was very dehydrated.”
