I would strongly recommend removing references to the manager's race and statements such as "seemed…read moreon something" or comments about her appearance. Those statements can undermine an otherwise credible review and may cause readers to focus on that language rather than the actual issues you experienced. A stronger review focuses on the conduct, not personal characteristics. I have shopped at this store many times, and while the merchandise can be hit or miss, the prices are generally reasonable. However, I am writing this review because of a deeply disturbing experience involving a manager and the display of adult products. I was shopping with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old sons when one of them picked up what was clearly an adult toy. Several of these items were displayed openly in a bin that was easily accessible to children. As soon as I realized what it was, I took it away and approached the manager politely. I simply mentioned that these products should not be displayed where young children can easily access them, especially during the summer when many families are shopping with children. Instead of addressing my concern, the manager immediately became hostile. She told me that if I did not like it, I could leave the store. When I attempted to calmly explain my concern, she repeatedly interrupted me, stated that she did not have time to talk to me, and told me to leave. She further stated that those products were not being sold from inside the package and that I should simply take my children and leave. She then threatened to call the police, despite the fact that I was calm, respectful, and merely raising what I believed was a legitimate concern regarding child access to adult products. I left because I was with my children and did not want the situation to escalate. However, I was shocked by the manager's behavior. No customer should be treated with such disrespect for politely expressing a concern. What makes this even more troubling is that this was not the first time I had witnessed this particular manager behaving aggressively toward customers. While many employees at this location have been courteous and professional, I previously observed this manager engaged in a heated confrontation with another customer and speaking in an extremely hostile manner. My concern remains the same: adult products should not be displayed in a way that makes them easily accessible to young children in a family-oriented retail environment. Whether customers agree or disagree with that concern, they should be able to express it without being threatened, dismissed, or ordered out of the store. This experience left me disappointed and concerned, not only about the store's product placement decisions but also about the professionalism and conduct of its management. Customers deserve to be treated with respect, especially when raising concerns involving the welfare of children. This version is stronger because it sticks to observable facts, clearly describes the manager's conduct, and keeps the focus on the issues that other customers and corporate management are most likely to take seriously. Please parents be aware of these behavior specially when going there with your kids. Very unlikely I would be able to go there at least for long time or at least this particular woman is long gone or some change of monument again.

She even planned unnecessary trips that would involve going by the Mother Ship in Gaffney. I welcome this change. I'm tired of waiting for my wife in Hamrick's store and parking lot.

I didn't feel like I was getting much of a discount. There's a sign that states no picture taking of merchandise, I get it, basically you're only saving $1 or 2, when if you bought it at the store the food would be further away from the expiration date. Taking pictures would show proof of that. In my picture you see a Rao's marinara sauce at Walmart for 6.98, it was 6.99 at Bargain Max. Again the people are nice! But the prices just aren't what I consider a bargain.

But they mostly only have 1 of everything. Everything is brand new. I asked a worker how it worked and he explained that they get mostly overstock shipments or things that may be slightly damaged. Everything is at least 40% of retail and even more if it's damaged. They get things from Home Depot, wayfair, world market and more. They have an Instagram where they post new shipments. Definitely follow as they post often. If they post that something is coming from the "favorite" store, that means world market, they just can't post that store name. The workers are SO nice and helpful
