There is a lot to see here. But the last time I was there (summer 2025) I was disappointed with one…read moreof the clerks at the counter. I dropped off a few things at the counter for them to hold while I continued to shop. He apparently wrapped them while I was shopping. When I came back to the counter, my husband wanted to talk with the other clerk about a couple of cameras. The first clerk tried to rush me to check out my items before my husband finished his conversation. I told him that I was waiting for my husband. He kept asking me every couple of minutes if I was ready to check out. I kept telling him no and he seemed to get more and more frustrated with me. He slammed things around and kept sighing loudly each time I said I was waiting. I can only describe his behavior as rude. There was no one else in the vicinity so I wasn't holding up a line or anything. Finally, after about 10 minutes, my husband finished his conversation and I said I was ready to check out. I had wanted to take a second look at one of the items I had dropped off. He told me that I couldn't because he had already wrapped it. Yes, I know I could have told him to just keep it, but I didn't. So, just know two things: 1. When you drop something off for them to hold it for you, just know that you can't re-evaluate your choice. 2. All camera equipment that the vendors bring in gets collected by the manager and put on e-bay. So you will need to ask the price at the counter and likely haggle. I probably won't go again because rude employees aren't acceptable.

Three stories and endless shelves and walls covered with more stuff than you could look at in several weeks. I wish I had more time and a U-haul!
