Variety Stores near Ankeny, IA

“Every negative review is from month old to 2 years old, and for those with a patience issue or a problem with the lack of employees bagging items FOR you, it's an assisted check-out, meaning you go in you ASK for help INSTEAD of demanding it, and it's called 5 below because it's 5 DOLLARS BELOW MARKET PRICE, and try to act respectfully towards the employees making them want to come into work the next shift hoping for a positive experience and to have a positive attitude, you do not know how much it upsets the employees not just at Five below, but at all miscellaneous retail stores to deal with people with snotty, snobby, or entitled attitudes and having to be disrespected because the customer thought they had THE RIGHT to whatever they want, it is a PRIVILEGE to step inside of a store for products, the staff is TRYING THEIR BEST to be friendly, they TRY SO HARD to keep the aisles clean, and they try to give EVERYONE a smile with HONEST KINDNESS, it's hard to do when customers don't have enough kindness or common sense to put items back, it doesn't have to be in the right section, just off of the floor, THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE STAFF, THE PROBLEM IS THE ENTITLED CUSTOMERS WHO DONT THINK BEFORE ACTING OR SPEAKING, just ONE act of KINDNESS can turn an employee's day around and that also goes for the NICE customers who do this already, 5 stars for trying your hardest to keep the isles clean, keeping products stocked even with the slow delivery of said products, and for putting up with the selfish and unreasonable customers everyday”

“You have a store employee or a manager standing over you. When you when you used to do stuff, check out yes then they're not standing there to watch you and tell you how to do things. They're standing there to make sure you're scanning every single item and not dropping stuff in the bag and as long as we still have them in the store and they still have Christmas and everything else, they're going to do it every year. They're going to scan your items every year. The manager will because people like to drop free stuff in the bag and until that stops. I guess it'll always be that way, but once we get rid of the self-checkouts completely they won't even be there no more then we're going back to the old school where you have to wait in line. If you don't like waiting and you ain't got enough patience leave go to another store”

“The. 5 before has great staff and good personalities. Only thing that sucks is these days you can’t go anywhere and have it just that price meaning 5 below but most things are 7 and up”
