I visited Subway abt 10pm. There was a lady working and appeared to be alone,( I mention this because with everything going on with crime ie, armed robberies. Under no circumstances should anyone be working alone at night or any time of day,, Especially a woman ). Upon entering the lady was working with 2 black girls that appeared to be in their 20s. She was making 2 sandwiches one of which I noticed was a Flatbread. As she was asking what they would like on their sandwich the girl with the Flatbread was very demanding. I noticed this when she demanded the lady change her gloves in between toppings. The lady showed grace and quickly changed her gloves. And went about asking what she would like next as the 2 thought there was something funny about the rude demand. I have worked in the restaurant/ hospitality industry for over 20 years. More specifically I've actually worked at Subway years ago. Under no circumstances would there be any reason to change gloves after putting lettuce on one sandwich and moving on to the next . This was merely just a demand to see if she would and to belittle this woman. She did a fantastic job handling this girls with patience and kept her composure while treating them as if they weren't being rude at all. Over all I stood there for 10 minutes while these girls were playing their games. Snickering. Whispering and giggling at this woman's expense. The thought crossed my mind to walk out and go elsewhere, however, I wasn't about to leave her alone with these wretched females. Had they have made one more demand or snide comment I was prepared to step in. It was evident after they left that the poor lady was a bit frustrated or distraught. Anyway, I wanted to recognize this lady for her excellent customer service skills and handling the situation with much professionalism. She would make a great manager if ever am opportunity were to arise. I wish I knew her name and I hope her boss sees this and gives her some positive recognition as well as start scheduling 2 ppl for...

Most places here are worth dropping in. Gets a little hectic during busiest hours. I would always recomend a visit to The Olive Garden (yummi), Popeyes Chicken (preffered over KFC now days), Flaming Dave's BBQ(oh my goodness!). Try it! Ofcourse always a great place to eat (and sadly not many around any more) is Shari's. The pies are legendary and deservingly so. Plus tucked all the way in the back is my favorite place to do my grocery shopping, Winco! The place is huge. Gigantic Selection and far far more affordable then any other place for grocerys. Every time I go I'm sure I've over spent my budget, however at the end I'm pleased everytime as I not only didnt over do it but Ive money left over. Winco is the placecto shop for sure and yes they take EBT. The only complaint i would have is getting in and out can be a little nerve racking. Especially during peak hours. One way in one way out. Paired with being placed right in with a merging and very busy I5 freeway on/off ramp. Aside from that there is plenty of things there to make it worth a drop...

This spur of commerce tucked between I-5 and Wapato park provides a diverse shopping experience. The entrance is prioritized for car travel, and pedestrians may find getting past the Starbucks and facing row of shops a dangerous endeavor. The lack of distinct crosswalks and abundance of fast-moving vehicles being funneled into two lanes makes for a hair raising experience, especially if you're walking with kids. Anchored by Winco Foods and a variety of casual sit-down restaurants, Tacoma Place offers a number of smaller mom and pop restaurants, a games shop, and a plethora of...
