This says more of the patrons of the place than the maintenance staff, for I doubt that anyone could keep up with the mess these people make unless management staffed the restrooms with attendants. Counter staff in the convenience store are generally unconcerned about lineups at the cash register. It is not uncommon to see 7 or 8 people in line with 2 of the 4 registers open, five workers behind the counter pretending to be so busy stocking peanuts and cigar rest that they simply don't see those in line. They are very concerned however about pushing the various heart clogging deep fried food items in the hot case and over priced industrial grade pizza they sell. This constant up selling grates on the nerves. You simply cannot buy anything here without being asked if you want one of these frankenfood items and the staff seem to take mild offense if the answer is anything but affirmative. The Dennys is also very average. The greeter and server spoke so quickly and in such mumbles that they were very nearly impossible to understand. Our waitress rattled off her greeting spiel with such rapidity (Hellomynameisserverpersonandi'llbeyourservertodayourspecialsare.... that I missed most if it. It comes off as very impersonal, much like the shop worn patter of a carnival barker who is bored, yet has to deliver over and over again. Even Ron Popiel made his chop o matic demonstrations with more flair and personability than this and he was talking to a tv camera. Coffee is priced at nearly 3 dollars a cup, and it's a very small cup you get for that three dollars. A simple side salad is 5 dollars. Lunch with tip will run you 20 per person. And this for a very, very average Dennys. Poor value, impersonal service and poor cleanliness over all. Unless you need the parking space for your large truck or need fuel, it's not worth stopping.

I could have just left and gone elsewhere, but I had been treated so well at another restaurant on a previous night when I arrived less than 30 minutes before closing. The service was excellent and I had such a great experience that I would definitely go back to that restaurant. However, the man at this restaurant was so rude that I immediately became angry and decided to leave without eating, even though I was very hungry. I will not be returning to this restaurant.
