Many days I have gone to Way Beyond to have a quick and easy lunch. I have often over looked many questionable actions by the staff. But recently, I had ordered a veggie burger with sprouts and cheese. I observed the food handlers rubbing their uncovered hair and handling food. But not, my food. I paid for my lunch and sat down to enjoy it. I took my first bite. I was astounded to discover that along with my sprouts I had a clump of hair. It was too much unwanted protein. I calmly and with poise walked over to the cashier and asked for my money back. I was told, "NO". I asked for the manager and she went to get him. He never came out. At which point, the cashier took money out of the communal tip jar and I left. \r
Health violations observed: no hair covering, lack of handwashing after touching non food items, no gloved hands. \r
Customer service issues: the line workers are unfriendly, the management is unwilling to speak with their customers. \r
Unfortunately, there are few options for this type of food on Jog Rd south of Linton, but there are options on Linton and Military and Linton and Dixie. In the future, the extra two miles may be worth the travel. It is because there are no options in the immediate area that Way Beyond Bagels is able to be incredibly arrogant and rude to their customers. \r
In a final comment: their food is no better and often times worse than other local choices.
