DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! I've never said or thought this before.. but this is a "small business" that…read moredeserves to be shut down. Unethical is vanilla, this is straight up satanic business practices. #1 the cashier didn't tell us that there were no returns or exchanges on ladders. We didn't know how much they cost and my friend is too nice so she just paid. It was EIGHTY DOLLARS for a 4ft ladder. That didn't seem right. That's literally double the price of everywhere else. We did some quick research and realized that Emil is PRICE GOUGING. So 10 mins later we asked if they do same-day returns. Here's the deal.. it's one thing that this happened, but his attitude is the thing that was beyond unacceptable. He conceded that the cashier should've told us, and that they're supposed to say no returns or exchanges on ladders. But even a half-assed "sorry" in there would've done it. No, his response was literally "I WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY PEOPLE USE THEM AND RETURN THEM ALL THE TIME." Please explain to me sir how I could've used a ladder that is STILL in its original packaging??? You think I would risk breaking my neck for a return at your shitty garage store? We weren't even trying to argue to still be able to return it, just letting him know that they should say that at check out and he just kept yelling over us. Beyond unacceptable. We just moved to the area and go to hardware stores all the time. We were looking to support a small local business and loyally (and we had already bought things here before).. but now that I see how they really operate, no wonder they go out of business all the time against the big names. If that ever happens to Emil, he earned it. You don't treat people like this and then yell & talk over them just cause they're women. Thievery & price gouging like this is one thing but the arrogance on top is beyond. Thankful I didn't grab anything else here cause I literally had it in my hand and was gonna come back for it. Never again. (Photo for proof ladder was never used). Jerk.

It's almost like they are doing you a favor answering a question or helping you find a part.

Two stars instead of one, because the manager on duty said they were going to talk to the main manager tomorrow. I was simply trying to get a couple pieces of wood cut and immediately was met with a miller who did everything from our first encounter to let me know he didn't want to help me. He refused to make any eye contact or even look at the information I had written down regarding the cuts I needed. I asked him his name, and when he answered, he even begged me to go complain to the manager, said he would even do it himself! ("what's happening!" I kept wondering." almost laughable, twilight-zonish.) He proceeded to get the order wrong, something I caught when I was prepaying for the cuts inside the store. Once I returned to him he (Jeremy) belligerently blamed me for his error, did his best to exude snarkiness, and seemed as though he was finally going to get the confrontation he seemed to want from the beginning. All very odd since I wasn't going to get into some kind of personal squabble with him. There are other details which could make this truly disturbing but I'll leave it at this and hope the managers at Anawalt Lumber, a place I've been going to for more than 30 years (without this kind of incident) respond appropriately and show it really cares about its customers. If not, I'll take my business to another Anawalt: I've found the one at Sepulveda and Pico to be pretty courteous and friendly.
