"I was pretty much at their mercy to see if they would serve me," customer Sergio Saenz said of walking through the drive-thru in hopes of getting food. Councilmember Janani Ramachandran represents the Laurel District where one of restaurants is located and is working to address an increase in crime the area has seen in the last year.
Ramachandran is also advocating for safety ambassadors for the area, but believes other factors contributing the dining room closure could be at play.
