I asked a clerk for assistance and she just said "look back here and if you can't find anything, look in the craft area," as she walked away. Hmmmm, I looked where she had pointed, couldn't find anything and then had to search for the craft aisles. I roamed around aimlessly for some time. It was not easy. I finally found the craft aisles but had questions and there weren't any clerks around. As I headed to the checkout, I looked up my account on the app. No clerks at the front but the self checkout was open. I checked out and left with no other human interaction. It's a shame how the retail industry has changed. Ok, bye.

This review is for several reasons why I always had issues with this location…read more Yesterday I called in to ask if they had a plain wreath. The young girl who answered the phone had no clue and had to ask someone. I was placed on hold and can hear them talking. She went back on the phone and said the big wreaths they had were not plain and the only plain they had were small ones. We asked what the size was, etc. She claimed they had none and the only one they had were small. I didn't want to waste time, was the reason for calling but I drove to the store anyway, because how can they possibly not have any? I went in the store and the first thing I saw was a large pallet/box full of plain wreaths right there on the floor. How can they not see that or know? Good thing I went in. It's simple to just look around. The main issue with this place why I never came back after a few years, is because there was an old woman (Karen) that used to work here who was extremely RUDE. She was SO rude over the phone and in person, when I asked for her name, she flat out lied and gave me a random name. I went in to make a complaint to the manager and the manager said there wasn't anyone by that name. I described who the Karen was and complained about their rude customer service. They were apologetic and that it wouldn't happen again. Not sure if they ever confronted her about it. She was a grumpy old woman who hated her job, well over retirement age. She was mean and was very condescending over a simple question over the phone and she hung up on me. When I called back to ask for her name is when she lied. She had a smart remark and already bad attitude. Overall, just an incompetent workplace. People who don't know what they're doing, and folks who hate their job.

Needless to say, everyone was quite impatient and displeased by the end of the ordeal. They do NOT scan their SKUs so every price is input by hand. That is a large margin for errors. So keep a close eye on your receipt! Good for those who want a throwback to the 90s style checkout I guess. Though indisputably, their prices are great. Much better than other crafts stores
