My favorite services:

Movie Theatres:

My Favorite movie theatre would have to be the Dickinson theatre in Merriam, Kansas
because of the large arcade and restaurants.  There usually is no waiting for tickets
and the seating is excellent.

Video Stores:

 My favorite video rental store would have to be video library in Lenexa.  The store
personel wear uniforms resembling tuxes and are always curteous.  They also have
the largest anime collection in Kansas City, a fact that has kept me coming back.

Restaurants:

1. Andre's Confissurie Suisse - This is a Swiss Consulate, chocolate factory, and
restaurant, all in one.  Yum yum.


2.  The Canyon Cafe - This is a southwestern restaurant in a gourmet atmostphere.  
The chef is amazing and it doesn't cost as much as you might think. Amazing service
comes with wooden wagon wheels and pottery.


3.  The Cheesecake Factory - Enough said.  I love the Chinese Chicken Salad they
serve.  I adore their cheesecake.  The only problem is the price is not for the timid
heart.  The cool thing is that at Walt Disney World you can get their food for cheaper
than at home

Amusement Park:

1.  My favorite, of course, would be....Walt Disney World!   Let's talk culture and service!  Hey it may not have the fear factory rides, but all hail to the greatest park in the world.

2.  I can't say enough about the St. Louis Six Flags new ride, The Boss!  It is possibly the best wooden roller coaster I have ever ridden.  The wait isn't usually long and most waits are worth it.

3.  I must say that Bush Gardens, Tampa Bay has a great Egyptian roller coaster, as well as others.

4.  I always love going to a Sea World Park, particular the one in Orlando.  The shows and the roller coaster hidden in the Atlantis ride are wonderful.  The food in the park is far better than any other.  Check out the fried pineapple and conch fritters.

Retail Stores:

1. Natural Wonders-  Let's face it, I love the unusual.  The items in this store appeal to my love of nature and science.  The objects sold are not the boring run and the mill mall brand items.

2.  The Museum Company - I have never met a disgruntled or bitter employee at this store.  The concept of offering objects for the home that look as if they may have come from another era  at a decent price is wonderful.  My favorite item is toy miniture train run that I've purchased for myself and others.

3.  Border's Bookstore - What college student has never been inside this megalith of bookmania?  I can stay forever and still never look at everything.

4. Hot topic- Although I tend to dress more conservatively than most I know, I still love looking in this store dedicated to alternative fashion.  They usually always can entice me into a new T-shirt.  The clerks here are more friendly than they look behind all the earrings and green hair.  The atmosphere is so relaxed, my parents have no problem looking inside.

Places I have worked:

1.Wal*Mart- I worked at Wal*Mart for three years.  It was great to get to know about retailing and all aspects of customer service.  There is always a lot of catching up to do with everyone when I come in to shop.

2.  Walt Disney World - I worked at the Magic Kingdom for  the college program.  I loved the work experience and may even go back to work there after college.

3.  General Electric (Transportation division)- I am currently a contract employee at GE working in the GE office at the  BNSF railyard  in Kansas City.  The best part is walking through the parking lot as trains crawl by.
