| - Decontamination chamber. Stat!
I cave to the kids and come here about two times a year. It's always crowded and the pizza is mediocre at best, but the cinnamon rolls are passable and that's what sticks in my brain and causes some sort of experience amnesia.
Safe to say tonight's visit will not soon be forgotten. The place was packed tonight. Seemed to be a four child per family minimum. I soon realized that preschool aged children were being allowed to help themselves to the buffet. One little guy dropped his food on the floor and then proceeded to sit there and eat it off the floor. He was spotted by a parent/person with his parent who merely said "you're nasty" and then turned back around to continue eating and talking. That's the Cici's clientele folks.
The temperature inside the dining area must have been 90 degrees. Pretty much unbearable. I heard a customer say something to the manager and his response was "you think you're hot? Imagine how hot we are (the workers)!" Oooookay!
As for the food, I can honestly say the pizza was the worst I've ever had there. They were quick about refilling it, but they had very little variety and they all just tasted bland and awful. They had the standard cheese, pepperoni, pep and sausage, a white veggie, a sausage and a deep dish with cheese. It looked like the spots were labeled for the staff and these must be the standard choices now. No Hawaaiin, taco, supreme, BBQ, buffalo or anything even slightly creative. However, the desserts were represented - even the gooey cinnamon rolls. Again, they were the ONLY highlight of the evening.
It's been a few hours and so far no food poisoning, so feeling optimistic about that. I also feel optimistic that that was finally my last Cici's visit.
