Case: The Gardens are a fantastic piece of quiet art and culture amidst the razzle dazzle of The Strip.  I love to go every time they change it (usually they have a Chinese New Year, Spring, Summer, Fall/Thanksgiving, and Holiday display).  Even though they will use some of the same pieces in their displays, they seem to create something new each time.\n\nThe place always smells amazing because of all of the different flowers.  It's even educational because they will put the names of the flowers in the display.  So if you have a black thumb, like me, you can impress people with your knowledge of botany, borrowed from The Bellagio!\n\nMy two most favorite themes are always the Spring display, because they usually have some sort of animal house you can walk through like birds or butterflies; and the Fall/Thanksgiving display, because I love the Old Man in the tree who is always part of it.\n\nA great place to visit that can be pretty awe-inspiring, and best of all it's FREE!

Case: Ew.\n\nWendy's used to be my favorite fast food restaurant.  WTF happened to their hamburgers?  They taste like beef-flavored mud with condiments now.  Their fries are terrible too as of late.\n\nWhat's not terrible is their service.  This is the fastest service and delivery of food that I have ever seen from a fast food joint.  Five stars for service.  Unfortunately, I cannot rate by service alone.  Yuk.

Case: Made the trek over to That's a Wrap from my Tempe office for lunch today.  Even though it honestly doesn't take that long it was well worth it. \n\nI went with a buddy who has actually had them cater a luncheon for a client which also went very well. Today I ordered the \""Birds the Word\"". The chicken was moist, flavorful and fresh. In addition since it wasn't filled with rice it was the right amount of food. Compliment that with a fresh side of fruit, I had a winner! \n\nMy buddy got the Cypress salad. Not only was the salad the size of my head but it looked very fresh and he mentioned it had good flavor. \nIn total for both of us it was around $20 including drinks. A great go to spot in the valley!

Case: I used to love Roberto's (aka Maria's) because I could walk there and they had decent, consistent Mexican food at a good price. However, the last couple times I've been there, the food has not been decent at all. My husband got a carne asada burrito and pulled out a chunk of fat probably one inch by one inch by one inch. No exaggeration, there was zero meat on this chunk. Sick. After that, we decided to give Roberto/Maria one more try since we had had so many good times in the past. Once again, the meat was gristly and neither of us finished our meals. Instead, I'll be going across the street to 100% Natural for my takeout Mexican food from now on. It's a little more expensive, but at least I can actually eat it!

Case: I adopted my 2 beloved kitties from the AHS on Hatcher.  I had been to the facility many times over the years and have always found it clean and well maintained. The cages are clean, don't smell and the animals are given bedding, toys and lots of love and attention.  \nThe employees are always very helpful and truly seem to care about the well being of the animals.  They spend quite a bit of time with you going over the responsibilities of pet ownership and give you a package with a lot of helpful information regarding  the animal(s) you are adopting.\nThe only reason I gave my review 4.5 stars is because after I brought my 2 kittens home we realized that they were sick with an upper respiratory infection.  We had been informed by the AHS that there was a virus going around at the time but the on-site vet checked them out and told us they were fine. Luckily, however, the AHS covers most vet visits for the first 30 days after adoption when you bring your new pet to the AZ Humane Society Veterinary Hospital.  We had absolutely no problem getting an appointment and brought my kitties in right away where they took EXCELLENT and OUTSTANDING care of them.  After about a month the infection was cleared up and my kitties are happy and healthy with no problems.

Case: Food is really average and bland, not what I was hoping for by any means. Weird place in general, not an atmosphere I enjoyed or wanted to come back to anytime soon.

Classify the following: We had a 2pm appointment on Wednesday for Ace to come to the house and measure the windows for screen replacement.  No one showed at 2:00.  Eventually the Store Manager came out at 5:00 and made the measurements.  Install was scheduled for that Saturday and the store manager told me that someone would call on Friday to set up a time.  No one called on Friday.  Finally a voice mail from Mario on Saturday at noon.  I returned the call at 3pm and set up a 10am install on Sunday.  No one showed at 10am.  After asking Mario why no one showed at 10am as scheduled he replied,\""No reason, I just came in late.\""  I am new to Arizona, but this is not the type of customer service that I am used to.
