The store is generally well stocked and decently stocked, with a knowledgeable and attentive staff that can provide great service and expert advice. Employees are described as friendly, proactive, and helpful in locating items. However, the store has several noted issues. The checkout process is frequently criticized; self-checkout machines are clunky and lack tap-to-pay, requiring a physical card or cash. Many registers are often closed, forcing customers to get help from an employee. The store is not very handicap accessible, with a problematic process for picking up online orders. At times, staff availability can be poor, with customers leaving after long waits for assistance. Occasional items may not be where indicated online.
