    I purchased breakfast from the hot food cabinets at the pizza counter. I sat down w my son to share the food and Manager JUSTIN came in from the customer side, opened the hot food cabinet and ate tater tots from the tray inside the cabinet, hurried to shut the cabinet, turned to the register person and laughed and said "did you see that?" Then he reopened it and as he was leaned into the open cabinet, he began alternating touching his face, chewing the stolen tator tot, talking to the team member on the otherside of the line, and picking up other food items to "inspect" them. It was really gross watching him cross contaminate that cabinet while eating the food I just pulled from the cabinet. Please do better because I was the one who saw that.

    Showers are nice. Usually alot of parking is open. Food isn't the healthiest but its something when you're hungry.
