It is our default setting, hard-wired into our boards at birth.” Adams recognizes her own default setting, her article reveals that when she becomes too certain

“Hi, welcome to CiCi’s!” This is the warm greeting that every CiCi’s employee will welcome every customer with when they walk through the door. This warm welcome is just one of the many things that CiCi’s does to exceed the customer service expectations that come with a buffet style restaurant.

The background complimented the type because it included the bright colours that stimulate appetite and relate to the food

Yet I can’t help but be disappointed by the array of brands offered there. Though you offer Red Baron, Tombstone, and DiGiorno, you do not carry my personal favorite brand, Tony’s. I
