Great pizza and better than 7/11 pizza (comment i made at the counter as the two of us laughed). Looking forward to stopping by again when I'm in the area or passing through.”

“The young guy ( owners nephew) is very disrespectful and he tried to burn me a $ 20.00 bill after giving him a $50 bill and he short changed me until I noticed it while I was walking out of his uncles store! Because he saw that I was talking to someone and I was distracted and if he did it to me then... I can't imagine all the other times he burnt me for a lot of other bills that I gave him?!! He's a cheater, and yes of course, so his is his uncle because I have bought Kirkland orange juice at the Costco two for five dollars is 65 and he charges $66.06 dollars and tax for one Kirkland orange juice! This is horrible it is absolutely horrible that people take advantage of any one and everyone! He may think that I don't have much money because how I come in there!, But he has no idea I'll give very little change and many of times change change and I can tell by the way you give them money like this the way they think of you and treat you is absolutely horrible and I do this on purpose! I just wanted to see the stores that I temporary Lee live and how they treat the community and it's a goddamn shame. So remember Sam's market on University in Parks Avenue at that corner please don't go there! Dear Lord please help those that need help in their financial situation. And those of us that do try to help some of the community for people that are less unfortunate please please help dear Lord p.s. the owner is quite delightful and if I ever need anything, he always makes sure that the store Brandon supplies what I'd ask for! Although you have to remember, it's gonna cost you a little bit more than the regular store... But he's very good at helping his customers getting what they ask for”

“The tall gentleman with blue eyes stationed at the meat department was very kind and helpful. I came in very late and he was cleaning but took time to talk to me about the different cuts and advice about how to build muscles eating protein.

“Walmart might not be the place to get the best customer service but on this day the customer service rep that helped me was extremely pleasant to deal with. I was here for the Black Friday deal for the straight talk iPhone SE deal for $49. As soon as I walked to the electronic section I was greeted by a pleasant worker with such a big smile and asked if I needed help. I definitely did I told her that I was here for the Black Friday deal for the iPhone SE. She quickly got the attention of activation personnel and asked her to help me. I thought that was very nice of her because a lot of times when I go to Walmart the employees just kind of ignore you. This visit was off to a pleasant start and then he got even better with the phone representative. She was very helpful and she pointed me in the right direction as far as prepaid plans. She told me all the benefits of each plan and let me decide without any pressure. What a pleasant way to purchase a phone at Walmart. I didn't quite get their name but they were two very lovely ladies that was very helpful and nice.”
