    The boy donating.
    Kristopher R.

    What's better than getting two free movie tickets for a simple, 30 minutes of getting your blood sucked out of your body? Getting FOUR movie tickets because your son is finally old enough to donate too! Luckily, we were in the area of this Big Red Bus and were able to walk right in. After filling out the paperwork and answering the standard questions; it was time for us to chug a soda and donate that sweet vampire nectar. The staff of two nurses were great and accommodating, constantly working together to get us in and out without much hassle or delay. I'm just glad my son was excited to give as much as I was to get the movie tickets. In my experience, it is better to make an appointment rather than swing by on a whim, but luckily this worked for us.

    The Big Red Bus makes donating blood very convenient. As soon as you enter the bus you are immediately greeted and the staff is ready to go. I already have an account established so it cut a few minutes from the process. I was in and out of the chair in about twenty minutes. After giving blood they often offer a parting gift. Usually it's a tote or a shirt with a ten dollar gift card. The gift card is part of a Donor Rewards Program. 12 to 36 hours after your donation you log onto their website and put in your rewards code. This gives you access to pick a $10 eGift from many different establishments. Several days after your donations or will receive an email with a mini health update from your wellness check prior to giving blood.

    I can't think of a better way to celebrate daughters day 2020 than donating blood as a team My girl did awesome on her first donation & knocked it out of the park.

    If the staff wasn't so friendly, they would've only gotten a 4 Star Review for running out of oatmeal raisin cookies.

    I made my initial donation on 4/16/23, the process was lengthy and slightly unorganized as…read moreexpected. The staff was friendly but the process of entering my information into their system was plagued with misinformation, typographical errors, and a serious breakdown in communication between the cross-functional staff. After several trips to the donor bed and back to the customer service desk I was finally able to proceed with my donation after approximately 3.6 hours only to experience a tsunami of denials with the BPl-issued debit card. My first (5) ATM withdrawals of $70 were denied with a message stating to call my financial institution The balance indicated the desired amounts were available but untenable. Resolution to my issues were further exacerbated by an extreme communication barrier with an unknowledgable customer service agent. Who only stated that my issue would be escalated to a specialty team within (1) business day." After finally gaining access to my funds I was then on (3) separate occasions denied sales approval at the point of sale register. There is an immediate need to reevaluate and correct all the technical issues with this financial institution.

    This is the absolute WORST! I went here bc they offered the smallpox vaccine incentive, but…read morelearned you must first donate 2-3 times BEFORE the smallpox vaccine incentive. Ok, I was willing. The 1st visit- nobody seems to man the "customer service" desk, I arrived 5-10 minutes after opening and went directly to the customer service desk where I stood waiting for 10 minutes before a very bored looking technician asked if I need d something!? She got another sad/bored employee to help me. No one in this place looks happy, there is NO music, I went in February and the remnants of old Xmas decor was still partially taped to various places on the wall. I've gone 3 times now, every time the technician (always a different one) jabs the needle in my arm... then starts "threading" the needle in my vein!! The last time I was there: 4-5 "suits" there waiting for a manager, the kiosk dirty and looks like syrup on it (at opening), rude tech doing vitals calling out my weight, and while donating, a technician named something like Janeka (?) bummed my corner donation bed so hard, it shifted about 6" and she never apologized or checked if everything was okay! NO ONE is happy here.. not employees or donors! I'd rather go back to BioLife... not as much $$ but the employees are always so sweet, the place is spotless and music is always playing! Oh... and you can make an appointment and not have to wait HOURS! Kedplasma needs to just shut their doors: dirty environment, rude/unhappy employees.
