Rude Manager
Walked in and there were 2 gentleman having a conversation. Neither of them acknowledged that i was standing there and continued to conversate. I had to stop their conversation and make them acknowledge me. Low and behold one of the gentleman was the PROPERTY MANAGER, and I immediately turned around and left. If thats how they treat visitors NOWAY am I living there!
