Casey's — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

To the cashier on second shift: what did I do to you to deserve your hate? Is it that I am getting a bunch of stuff all at once? Did I behave poorly once or twice? I'm sorry if I did. I probably had something going on outside of that atmosphere that had me in that mood. Are you mistaking me for my brother? I know there was a situation that happened between him and one of you guys, but I don't know minute details or who it was. I'm sorry for whatever happened, but I am not him. At this point, I'm surprised I'm still forgiving this treatment, but right now we need more compassion for each other because of how things are in the world.

And anybody else who thinks they can go there and do that needs to be called out in that moment (myself included [especially me]) because it is not appropriate for complete strangers to do that in that setting. Time and place is important, y'all! (Again, reality check, I need to do...

The chef/cook/pizza-pro this morning (12/28 around 9 AM) was amazing. He was super personable, friendly, efficient, and courteous. Extra impressive when you consider he showed all of those traits in the 2 minutes he was boxing my pizza and handing it to me. The cashier was very patient and friendly too, when I asked a question in a confusing way. Any job that requires constant customer service is exhausting, but neither acted like I was bother. This review is too long, but I hope they get the appreciation and recognition...
