Casey's — Restaurant in Clinton

Ordered a taco pizza tonight for take-out. Several workers were standing outside, on the far side of the parking lot, obviously on a break. I went into the store and over to the kitchen area to order a pizza. There was a young lady who seemed to be new, and a man who told me that 'they're on break and will be back in a few minutes'. I stopped just short of asking him why HE couldn't take my order. I headed back out to my truck, and told the two workers that I wanted to order a pizza.

Another young lady, the main cashier, seemed very depressed and borderline angry. The store, in general, was quite a mess.

This is the third time this has happened. Ended up finally getting my pizza 15 minutes later, the lady gave me a very apathetic "sorry" and went back to ignoring me. Young guy at the cash register...

Being right down the road from my house makes Caseys a very convenient gas station. The prices are fairly decent but unfortunately, aside from the pizza, the food has taken a turn for the worst over the last 5 years. There's never enough doughnuts and no options, the warmer is always short, etc. Caseys can't keep the same workers anymore to save their life. It used to be the same people for years, now it's a new one every...
