I was very disappointed with the customer service I received during my recent visit…read more I stopped by to purchase six 20-pound bags of ice. Due to a spinal fusion and permanent lifting restrictions, I am unable to lift more than five pounds. I politely asked a lady (short, petite with dark hair who identified herself as the manager if someone could help me load the ice. Instead of showing empathy or trying to find a solution, I was told that she could tell me where the ice was but couldn't lift it for me. I explained again that I physically could not lift the bags at all. Rather than attempting to locate another employee, I was left waiting for approximately 45 minutes. What made the experience especially upsetting was the attitude. I felt dismissed and judged based solely on how I looked. Because when I asked, she actually looked me up and down. Her eyes scanned me as if to judge my ability to get my own ice. Just because someone appears healthy doesn't mean they don't have a disability or medical restriction. Disabilities are not always visible, and customer service should reflect that understanding. Ironically, an employee from the register--the same person who was there all along--eventually came over and loaded all six bags into my car without issue. Had that happened from the beginning, this entire experience could have been avoided. I shop at this location because it's convenient and carries products I need, so I'll likely continue to visit. However, I sincerely hope management takes this as an opportunity to improve customer service and provide better training on assisting customers with disabilities or medical limitations. A little kindness, empathy, and willingness to help can make all the difference.

I brought it home and it runs for no more than 5 second and it stopped that was evening, so I called next day and they said to bring it back , so they can look at it.

As an event decorator, I absolutely love The Restaurant Store (RS)! Instead of on-line shopping,…read moreespecially when I need something NOW, the RS is less than 7 minutes from my front door. They carry a multitude of event decor for my table settings which keeps my budget-tight brides and those hosting parties within their limits. For the crafter in me, the pricing of stemware, place settings, or other table decor allows me to monogram family logos, initials or add a personal touch to my events and raises the level of elegance at or below budget. Helpful staff is always on the ready and I have never had more than a 5 minute wait to checkout and be on my way. The store has ample parking, is well stocked, bright, and always clean...and did I mention they're in my neighborhood?!?!?! A++ rating from me.

I had a very disappointing experience at Home Surplus today. My husband and I arrived around 3:10…read morePM, ready to place an order, but the customer service was completely unacceptable. There were several associates sitting at the desk engaged in personal conversations, some of which even included profanity--something that is highly unprofessional on a sales floor. We spent about 25 minutes walking around the store, clearly visible and ready to make a purchase, yet not a single employee greeted us or offered assistance. Even standing near them did not prompt any acknowledgment. It felt as though helping customers was the last thing on their minds. What made the situation worse was overhearing an inappropriate conversation between an associate and a male customer, which was not suitable for a professional retail environment. At that point, I became frustrated and decided to leave around 3:35 PM without making a purchase. No matter if a customer is spending a dollar or thousands, everyone deserves to feel valued and respected. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. I will be taking my business elsewhere and will not recommend this store based on this experience.
