I walked in to West Covina Nursery on the recommendation of my landscaper to select several shrubs…read more Although this is a wholesale nursery and do not sell to private individuals, I was impressed by their huge inventory. The hundreds of plants I saw as I walked around looked beautiful and healthy and the place was buzzing with the activity of employees. I decided on the shrubs that I will need, so my landscaper will go back to purchase them for me.

Have been shopping at this nursery for years and they have always been my go-to. Had multiple…read morenegative interactions with the Manager, T and every interactions was unpleasant. He was profoundly unhelpful and bordered on nasty. He excuse for everything was, "this is a wholesale nursery". I take that to mean that if you are spending thousands of dollars there a month, the don't care! The last straw was when I came to pick up a plant and he said that the whole nursery was on lunch break and I'd have to wait 30-60 minutes. He explained that due to law suits that had to enforce a lunch break. This says a LOT about how they treat their employees. Why they don't stagger their lunch breaks??? Just don't expect good customer service or communication. Aside from T. all of their other employees were thoughtful and helpful.

I've been using Home Depot for many things over the years. I needed a mailbox replacement lock. I…read morewas walking down the aisle and there was a young man restocking something. I asked where the mailbox locks were. He didn't even blink and said it's down this isle right had side in bin number, it's towards the bottom. I was blown away it as exactly where he said it was. I'm so sorry I didn't get his name. I've never had anyone pretty much at any store know so exactly where something was without having to look it up. Clean cut young man with glasses. This was this evening 3/19 about 6:30. They should recognize this guy if they can identify him from this information.

Bottom Line: This place is a struggle…read more I'm just going to make this as simple as I can; - Bossman gave me a gift card he had purchased from the store - Attempted to purchase products online - Scratched the back of the card as instructed - Wasn't warned beforehand to not scratch the scracth-off area, and scratched off the pin - Had to go to the store to ask about it - Got the PIN from a kind, professional and courteous customer service employee - Walked over to the checkout area to ask if they could order something for me online, (as the part isn't IN the store) but I was already in the store - Attempted to explain but this request it was beyond the capacity of this institution - Simply went home to order what I needed from the site - Card has zero balance The above wasted hours of my life are certainly not the first and certainly not the last. I have had so many painful interactions in this store and it goes back decades. Today just prompted me to actually write a review and this one leaves a bad taste in my mouth for sure. I'm going to go ahead and leave off the phone call I made regarding the zero balance gift card that also lasted nearly an hour as it doesn't pertain to anything this store has done but it's a nice cherry to add to the story. The only people that I have consistently had a positive experience with are the Customer Service people, just inside the entrance. Against all odds, these folks are out there doing what I would imagine is the hardest job in the store.
