“I stopped in today to buy a smart watch because I wanted a new one. The service I got was wonderful and the manager on the truck driver desk whom helped me out was fantastic as well. He was very professional and a very kind person. I was hesitant at first when purchasing my watch because I thought it didn't come with the charger cord for it due to not being able to see it. After I had purchased the watch, they were very kind and let me stand to the side while helping other customers to let me look inside the box and I was able to locate the charging cord for it. Thank you guys for a wonderful experience that I had. (I didn't get the managers name but he looked like he was African) Keep up the amazing job guys”
