    The food is still good, but I don't like the new, more boring decorations.

    Stood at the counter for 2 minutes to place my order. No one helped me. One employee walked right by me, not making eye contact or asking if I need help. Placed my order at the kiosk. My order came pretty quickly, but I don't like to be ignored. Restaurant was not busy.

    No service - the one person behind the counter left me there without taking my order (and I was the only person in line). No Internet. I stopped there to attend an online meeting. Connected quickly, but there was no Internet.

    People who work there need to greet people and not make the customers initiate. Do better, say good morning and be polite! Prices are way too high. Not as relevant anymore.

    The servings are hit or miss anymore. Sometimes they give you what you pay for and sometimes they don't. And what happened to the pumpkin muffin? It's pumpkin season! And they sold well. Are the stock holders really more important than the customers? Who gives you money? Them or us?
