This has been the case at the ES locations that I know of for quite some time now. Independent of that, at some point in my life (maybe I...matured?!), I came to see the ES reception as more of a nuisance than an upside. My mental image of this has coalesced through experience to basically being one of hundreds of youth sports participants running around throwing tortilla chips everywhere while the dads guzzle gallons of light beer. No thanks!
