Testimonials
They tried to diagnose my dog, even though they’re not vets. There is a sweet woman who works in the front cash register. And there’s a horrible security guard who is just the worst he needs to be fired immediately.
–
lady working register at 12pm on 2/22/24 was more concerned over the atm card swipe machine be facing one way and says she is going to “tape it down” cuz people keep moving it.
she had friendly attitude to a prior customer and help them save money on a product but acted different towards me making me feel uncomfortable.
I DO NOT WANT CUSTOMERS STANDING BEHIND ME WHEN I AM INSERTING MY PAYMENT AT THE REGISTER. PLEASE DO NOT HAVE HER TAPE DOWN THE MACHINE AND SHE NEEDS TO TREAT ALL CUSTOMERS THE SAME FRIENDLINESS
