Great store but they need to man all cash registers when it is busy. Can take 15 to 20 minutes to go through cash register line up.

Overall the experience was fine. There was one issue in the dairy department, one of the employees was reprimanding customers. He was trying to tell them how to take the items off the shelves, telling them they were going to break things. He was very loud and rude. I think this employee needs be retrained.
