“I am a "local" and I can't say enough about how wonderful the cashiers are at Towle's. They are friendly and engaging and a delight to interact with. It is not easy in today's world to serve the public with so many varied customer expectations but towle's employees come through with courtesy and humour. They face many challenges with the various customers they face that often sadly leave them to resolve the disgusting leavings in the restrooms that no one should have to deal with, and they bear the brunt of it. Poop on the floor. Poop on walls. Why?! Just why?! Public restrooms could be an entire horror category unto itself and it only takes one miscreant to defame one restroom as an example of one place of business. Our local library has a restroom in the basement that offers a diaper changing station. Someone changed a diaper on said fixture and left the dirty diaper on the station and closed it up to be found by the next unwitting user of the restroom. Why?! Just why?! Neither the store or library have control of what people are doing when they use the facilities. Please stop blaming the staff of these places.”
“I'll agree with the reviews that the lot & building need updating & cleaning up. But everyone we dealt with was very nice & professional & the food was fairly priced & delicious!”
“They have the best pizza around. The only thing wrong with this place is they took out the dining room door. It still has the wheelchair ramp leading to the outside of the building. Now you have to walk through the whole store to get back to the restaurant. No idea why they did that but that's the only inconvenience. The food is good”
“Sometimes you have to wait days before you can pick up your prescription. The line to the pharmacy is usually short so that's good. The staff is always very friendly.”
“Customer service is great! They also tend to customers with urgency. I was very please with my service. Even though i know it can get overwhelming at times they knew how to keep a steady pace.”
“Got 2 pizzas both under cooked and burnt ??@?????? i called they said ok come back in now , well you close soon I'm 30 min away ,ok then we can do a replacement when u order next. .”
“Big apple certainly has a presence throughout the area but somehow this random location in Canton is the best of the best. The store is always well stocked and clean plus the staff here, with little exception, is amazingly friendly personable and friendly.”
“I know most cashiers by name. They are all friendly. The store is clean. Waiting in line is minimal depending on the weather. If it's nice out the wait will be longer.”
“? I order my oil from CN Brown and I'm very pleased with the service. One girl in particular, Maddie, recently went out of her way to fit me into the oil-delivery schedule. Every time I call she is very courteous and accommodating.”
“I had my order messed up, and it's understandable. They were busy and it's only human to make errors. But when I called back Art was quick to fix the error. I love the food. The prices are great. The service is good. Thank you Art for helping tonight. You rock. Best steak and cheese in town”
