The friendly staff are helpful and can point you in the right direction for what you need. There's an information desk to the left when you walk in and you can usually ask questions there, if there's no one there the cashiers can help. They do so many different things that I didn't know about - they rent power tools and it's super affordable (I rented a sander for 4 hrs for $10), they repair screen doors, they have garden supplies...the list goes on. I'm super happy with the repair they did on my screen door so I'm including a picture.

I tried to use a gift card I received for Christmas, went through self checkout, the card didn't go through, the lady there was nice but didn't know how to use the card said she didn't think that type of gift card worked, do I have another form of payment so I went to customer service to see if I could get assistance. I've had a few incidences where restaurants or retailers don't know how to use a gift card that can be redeemed at multiple businesses. Usually the cashiers have to do something, put it in as credit card, use a pin, I'm not sure but instructions are on the card. The lady at customer service was the rudest person I've encountered in a while, telling me "go to self check out, go to self checkout, go to self checkout!" I don't want to do self checkout, I wanted to have assistance with a gift card, which she gave me none, said do it yourself, if it doesn't go through it doesn't go through. I tried to explain the instructions on the card, she wasn't having it. I don't understand why certain people are in customer service. I don't think there is a name on the receipt or I would definitely call the lady out. No reason to be so rude. *I did call the gift card company, and it is to be used at Lowe's (it's right on the front of the card) and no I don't have to activate it, (both employees told me I had to activate it). I was told the cashier does have to put in the card as credit and the amount of the card, split payment or put in $25 for the card if the total purchase amount is more (in my case that was the issue).

So we stopped at the store and went to the mop and broom section. No O Cedar flip mop to be found...when I asked one of the staff members about the item, I showed her the item on their Ace mobile app and she went on their system to check for inventory...she said, they had none in the store...but the mobile app said they did.... Confusing... She said, I can order from our warehouse and you might be able to pick up next week, I said, yes...so I can use my coupon. When she went to get the special order entered, the system said that they are no longer getting any more of these mops.... Weird how the mobile app inventory and the store inventories do not seem to talk to each other... Unfortunately we left the store empty handed....
