Testimonials
“Went 5/9/2024 to buy specialty cat food. The shelf was empty, but their store computer said they had 30 cans. They looked but couldn’t find them. I asked when more would come in. The ‘boss lady’ said she didn’t know… HOW CAN A MANAGER BE SO OBTUSE? So I went home & ordered from Chewy!”
