Eventually, Freese gets down to placing his order with the new employee—a grilled cheese with raw onions and a large Diet Coke “and we want it for free!” he demands.
“Yes, this is pretty cute. We had to! Proud of our little girl starting her first job and happy to have another excuse to go to @innout. Go Olive!,” Freese wrote in the comments.
