“I was there on April 27 2023 in early afternoon and the young man that was cashier was a good guy. I was using my credit card but remembered the code incorrectly so my card was declined. After twice I asked if I could run out to get cash from my car. He was so polite, held my place in line and never made me feel silly or foolish for having held the line up as there were five people behind me. I wish I had gotten his name but I was embarrassed, but not because of anything he did. I don’t know who he was but thank you.”
