They let us set up a table near the entrance and their customers could pick up a list from us to see what school supplies were needed. Some people got a list and picked up a few items when they did their shopping. Since mostly in the store is practically $1, it was easy for people to donate without breaking the bank. The store is clean and organized. This isn't the closest dollar store to me, but I'd come to this one for the reason of the support they gave to my Kiwanis club.

I've been a customer for over 5÷ years and Corporate needs to know how customers are treated by her. Now, it seems that her hostile attitude has influenced a cashier which is even more troubling. I typically don't do this, but some behavior ignored only gives credence, especially when it's disrespectful and despicable. Loyal customer for now. I am strongly considering taking my business elsewhere.

We came by to pick up one or two items, but there were deals everywhere. We are 4 people shopping at the same time. The Pig workers are everywhere. Hey ladies, you need anything, third time now in the same visit. I wonder do we stand out? Nah, this is your custom. You do this all the time. Thanks people. Then we get to checkout and meet, the one and only, Legacy. Her name says it all ! Professional, sweet and serving with Joy! She is a standard. Thank you girl. It feels good to see my old neighbor store still reigning supreme in times like these. Keep it up! You still got your shine!!

I am giving 5 stars because there is a young butcher there that is outstanding. Met him when I was…read moresearching for T-bones and he brought a tray out to me. I don't blame them for removing them at dark to reduce high price packages from being stolen. Since then he has helped me find the perfect packages of proteins. He is nice, professional and what he doesn't know, he will ask the other more experienced butchers. They too are great but they are as warm and fuzzy with me. He treats me respectfully like his favorite aunt. The cashier I had last night is the complete opposite. She went out her way to be nasty and aloof while talking to her coworker over my shoulder. I always chuckle at how strict the dress code is for the male employees compared to the "urban" appearance of the cashiers. The men are dressed in slacks, ties and dress shirts. One manager is always sharply dressed. They bring a level of class to the store. I wish this location had a better selection of items but I understand the tailor their limit shelf items by their demographics. I shop here for my brother and drive to Sprouts for myself. The basic spices here are my favorite. A bag for $.69 are a bargain. I love the proteins I do buy here. This store serves a purpose in this market. There are many people that need to pay their bills, wire money and cash a check. For those people I hope this store remain open and profitable. They also have a large Hispanic section that I use often.

On 5/2 I saw a tall caucasion man across the store..I tried to catch up with him and when I got close enough he was about to turn another corner..by the freezer section..So I said "Hey manager" excuse me but do you have anyone to clean your buggy area and the front of the store..Inside is very nice and before I could finish the tall heavy white guy screamed..I dont appreciate you yelling hey manager I said I'm sorry you didnt have a badge on with your name and I've been trying to catch up to you. He stood tall over me and leaned in as to intimidate me and said "Well when you approach me you say, excuse me manager dont you ever approach me like that".. I said "I have apologized I'm not going to do more" he continued to rant as he walked off..When I got to the register the cashier saw I was shaken she asked was I ok I told her what happen she said he must be having a bad day because she had just spoken, I think she said Derrick not sure..She said Hey Derrick he said hey. back to her" She said she told him the bathroom needed servicing he said "that's not his problem"..Hey is a southern word vastly used in the place of hello no disrespect..just as y'all and ain't is used..I have never been treated like that in this store and the cashiers and I laugh together everytime I'm in there..Even the AA manager with afro and I have had convos from time to time.and laughed...I'm still shaken the reason I had to come on and let you know what happened.. I had just left church in Bessemer and by passed two stores and my home to come to Marinos..I'm not going to let him keep me out of there..But I will never approach him again and go the opposite direction because I am afraid of him now..Thanks for listening..hope it doesnt sound like I'm ranting and you see the picture..

I was able to find what I needed and there was plenty of helpful staff around to assist when needed. What I like about this location is that there is never a long wait in the line. They had every lane open and the cashier's are always quick and they are polite. They try to get everyone out of the line quickly. However, they still ask if you found everything okay and that is what I like about them. I have never encountered rudeness from the staff and they are always so friendly. They also have ample parking and spaces out front that are marked for curbside pickup in case you want to place an order online. I didn't realize that you could do that. So this is helpful to know in the future. I definitely plan to visit more often, especially since they always have great deals on cleaning and pet supplies.
