The Good

Customers consistently praise the friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, specifically mentioning Dale and Karen.

Things to Consider

The primary negative feedback centers on extremely rude, condescending, and disrespectful customer service from several staff members, including one incident involving a veteran discount dispute and another involving an older male worker aggressively addressing a child. Other complaints include high prices for some brands, poor handling of a damaged item exchange (offering only partial refund on a stained item), and staff failing to wear masks correctly or at all during health mandate periods. One review mentioned a manager and salesperson being rude during a return attempt.
