My family has gone to The Plant Stand every year on Mother's Day. This year, we bought trees --…read morewhich, unfortunately, are now dying. Today, my 70-year-old mother went in to ask the owner for advice and see what could be done. Instead of offering any help, he was rude and dismissive. Then, when my mom made a sweet, light comment -- saying, "God's been watering the plants a little extra this year" -- he actually mocked her faith and ridiculed her relationship with God. That wasn't just bad customer service -- it was cruel, uncalled for, and incredibly disrespectful. I was shocked. She didn't deserve that, and no customer ever should. They've lost more than a sale -- they've lost loyal, long-term customers who have supported them year after year. From now on, we'll be shopping at Joe's Market Basket, where customers are valued and treated with the respect they deserve.

This is the closest nursery to my home and it has taken me a year to shop here. I was in need of…read moreautumn hanging baskets, my spring baskets were on their last hurrah. Being in need, I headed to the nursery that I shopped when I did my spring landscaping. To my surprise, they were out of hanging baskets. The owner who was assisting me, recommended, The Plant Stand. We shared a laugh when I told him they were the closest to my house, but I drove the distance to support him again. He appreciated my loyalty, but thought I'd find what I needed at TPS. I thanked him and started my drive back home. Now let me tell you why I haven't shopped TPS when it is the closest one to my home. It simple is, presentation. It is right on the main drag through Godfrey and it just has never been appealing enough to get me to stop by. I found a hanging basket that meet my needs and will get me through fall. I actually wanted 3, but settled on just one for the front entrance. TPS did have an average selection of plants, some of them were marked down for late season clearance. Shopping up close, I could see why it did not look appealing from the road. Many of their plants were in need of TLC. When selling plants, the dead foliage needs to be picked off, so the plants appear perky and beautiful. Many of the plants were in need of attention to make them buyer friendly. The lady working was pleasant enough and the price of my hanging basket was a good value. Appearance is everything when it comes to buying live plants. This visit may have been a little rough around the edges, but I'll give them another try next spring. When: September 30, 2021 Why: Hanging Basket

The employees here are completely unprofessional and even rude…read more I went here twice recently when getting some closet organizing parts. On my first trip I was inquiring about whether they had more closet bracket holder than they had on their shelf. An older guy was helping me, and we started to walk towards what I was talking about, when he looked at someone else in the aisle over and asked them if they needed help. They proceeded to send him on a 15+ minute ordeal finding who knows what. Despite the fact that the guy was helping me first, he somehow just stopped and helped them. I left the store, and I don't think he even noticed. I went somewhere else, where they had what I needed in stock... But I needed to get wooden closet rod, so back to Aviston I went. The older guy had already looked up in the computer that they had it and it was sold by the foot. So on I went to the service desk to have them pull it. They only had one 18' length, and they told me I had to buy the whole thing. I didn't mind that, but then they told me that if I wanted it to be cut down the length I actually needed, it would be $5 "setup fee" on the saw and $1/ cut. $6 to cut a piece of 1" closet rod for something that's priced by the foot? No thanks, I just took the whole thing and let it hang 10' out my window. It took about 20 seconds to cut with an old jigsaw. I can understand not wanting to cut wood, but if you're a lumber yard and can't cater to simple requests without charging an arm and a leg, it's no wonder people in Highland go to the big box stores all around. I've had no issue getting Home Depot to cut various things for free. The service desk has a sign on it that reads "Buddy is old and gay" -- in plain customer site. It looks like a 4 year old wrote it, but I'm guessing it was a co-worker. I don't know who Buddy is, but I doubt he thinks the homophobic jokes are much funnier than I do. While I was at the service desk, I got out my credit card, at which point she said we had to go to the front register. I asked if I should bring the wood with, or if we'd need to go back to the service desk. She said she didn't care what I did. Literally in that tone. Rude rude rude. I used to go here 3x a week as a kid, and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have shopped here so much if the employees were this rude and unhelpful back then. It's amazing this place manages to stay in business.
