“Very kind service from the people working! They have been very kind with words or being a few cents shy of what your total bill costs & they honestly think nothing of it! They also will try to order whatever you need that they don’t often carry or will just order specificity for you! Always smiling & still smile even after dealing with very horrible customers!”

“Stopped in and the employee named Timothy was very polite, quick, and helpful to everyone. Didn't get a look at the name tag of the woman with dark hair, but she just stood at the other side of the counter typing on her phone the entire time and told people she wasn't open when they came up. Hopefully, it was just an off day. They do have an ATM available down the hallway. I will also say it's a tight area to drive through and people will whip around without paying attention, so stay cautious if you stop in.”
