    the service stinks! With 500 employees for its 900 parking spaces, you wouldn't think you'd have to wait all day for someone to open a display case or answer some questions...

    I stopped in expecting to spend ~$2000, but I walked out after 45 minutes without so much as an acknowledgement (and it wasn't particularly busy). Strange because the i70 & i44 locations aren't like this...

    Iowa 80 is nothing but a tourist trap... It was cool to see it once just to say I've been there, after that I avoided it.
