Problem: I worked at the Tempe Kinko's years ago, during which time an anarchist co-worker remarked: "We are the factory workers of the Information Age." Profound? It sort of is if management drops you in a baby blue monkey-suit and makes you don an apron. Think about it. Kinko's workers essentially perform the same routine task day in and day out in their stations (on busier days) for low wages. It's Fordism transferred to the copy shop. Like factory workers, we also employed the "weapons of the weak" (work slowdowns and discounts to customers to cut into corporate profits) to covertly express our discontent with our work situation. That was then, of course, and this is now at a different store. But I get it...the job sucks...big time...and employees are just going through the motions to a get a paycheck. With that said, I am still not a big fan of this Kinkos, at least not late at night. I guess they fake it less well than employees at other stores. I have been in twice recently at night and the service has sucked. Coming to the counter to help a customer appeared to be a sizeable burden for any of the number of employees behind the counter (part of this is due to a company policy that says that you are not to leave your station). When one finally did make it to the front, little attempt was made to hide his lack of enthusiasm for the job and disdain for customers. I'm not sure, but he may be on the graveyard crew. That may account for something, since the Kinko's graveyard workers that I have known have been a little off. The last time I went in to get resume copies on E1 (cotton paper with a watermark). The guy took the order and processed it quickly, but he copied it with the watermark upside down. I can't imagine that being a deal breaker in a hiring decision, but it could be one of those attention to details things that looks a little bad. I sort of felt like a ass asking for my order to be redone with the watermark facing the right way, but I wanted a polished looking resume (which is why I went with the cotton paper in the first place). In any case, the guy told me "no," that it would be too much trouble to go through the sheets and face them the right way. Having worked there, I know that you are supposed to make copies with the watermark facing the right direction and that it is not a big deal to do so. If you make a mistake, all you have to do is flip the paper and do it again. That was too much for this guy apparently. As much as I can empathize with the guy for having to work behind that counter, I wish he would have shown a different way to express his dissatisfaction with the job. It would have been much cooler of him to get back at the man by hooking me up then my effing up my order.

Problem: Our first time here and the first thing you notice is limited parking. You have to park on the street and we did walk a bit.. The other thing I certainly did not like was a "VIP" entrance leading into the club. Really????? You seriously have to make your "regular" patrons walk all the way around to the other side, through the LOUD bar??? Why? I paid for premium seats so why didn't that include this magical entrance? I truly think that you should get rid of this, because it is comical for sure. We were seated promptly with great seats I had chosen right in front of the stage, and hubby and I first commented that the tables weren't as close together as other clubs we go to. It was spread out and larger for sure. The waitress promptly greeted us and the people that sat at our table ordered food, which looked very appetizing. Hubby would have liked to have had a non alcoholic beer or drink but they don't have any. Another great suggestion for the management to consider. The comedians were top notch, and the best part was getting to meet them and having our picture taken with them after the show. We plan on attending again for any special event comedian that may catch our eye.

Problem: Holy cow, was I excited when they opened the new location! This location is sweet! It occupies the space of a department store, can you grasp how big that is? There are entire sections devoted to accesories, and jeans and work-out clothes... Wow. I disagree with many Yelpers about the quality of the items. I mean sure, it's not the best but I have never had an item rip apart of anything like that. You do need to take your time and look through the whole store though. And don't get me wrong, I only end up liking like 10% of the items offered. There are a lot of cheap and way too trendy items there. I only shop for dresses andaccesories when I'm there. I have found some nice-looking items, like an angora sweater, some linen dresses, etc. I figure if oyu are patient enough to look through racks at a Salvation Army or a Ross, you can give yourself half an hour to sort through the crap to find the jewel. That's actually what I like about it, I feel like when I find an item I like, that's unique enough to warrant a purchase, that it is well worth it. Don't even get me started on the accesories. Again, you may end up liking one piece of jewelry or bag out of the hundreds, but it will be so special. I find their jewelry is a mix of tastes between Carrie Bradshaw and Serena Van Der Woodsen, if that gives you an idea. Also, some of their faux leather purses are really good imitations.

Problem: Absolutely fantastic! This place has the ambiance, live music, service, and delicious food. This place is super fancy and expensive. Our bill with tip was $205! The bread basket they give you in the beginning is soooo good. Imported pretzels?!? common.. tasted soooo fresh. they also had baguettes of some sort and a few other varieties of bread.. all imported of course. and all tasted wonderful. Dinner for two consisted of 1 framboise martini which was $18. Strong enough that you only need just one. I dont remember what kind of red wine my friend had ordered but it was about the same price (on a side note the waitress knew the wine menu pretty much inside and out and suggested different pairings). For our entrees, I ordered the Chilean sea bass and I believe he ordered the new york strip steak, both were about $40. We should have swapped dishes as he liked my sea bass better as I liked his steak better. Both were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and buttery - melted in your mouth. The fish was flaky and fresh. This place only comes with entrees sides are all additional. If you are ever there, you must try the lobster mashed potatoes!! The best buttery velvety smooth mashed potatoes ever! Which chunks of lobster in it!!! hah, and get this. it was$33. .absolutely ridiculous but soooo worth it. The bar is amazing, full bar with top shelf choices. Live band in the corner ..but they were kinda play country-ish music. The place is dark.. with separate bar seating. and I didn't know at the time as I was in the area visiting but this is a dressy ... dress up place lol just fyi
