“I like this store. They have everything I need and they also have a decent McDonald's attached to it so you can get McMuffins in the morning on your way to work!”
“I'm going to give them five stars because I believe they will listen to what I am saying as follows! The self checkout can be utilized by first responders, police, and veterans if they are coming in for their free 12 oz drink by simply scanning their driver's license. Why hold up the line and create a longer line for the officer who simply wants a 12 oz complimentary beverage? Why stress out the cashier needlessly? Unless Giant ? is trying to compel us to buy something, which is possible, probable actually, then they should have this feature on the self checkout forthwith. If not, I shall reduce the five-star rating down to one star and I'll quit going to the store. I'll try to give free coffee and drinks two passers-by so they'll quit going to the store. If it's about efficiency, so be it; make it efficient. First responders, police and veterans will buy things from the store if they so choose. Don't lull them into coming in with a carrot. Give them the carrot then they will solicit your business. Make them chase the carrot and they'll put you out of business. And that Mr ? is good business and how you conduct the same. So Be It!”
“We just come here for the Little Ceasers pizza. However they advertise hot & ready... Nope... Last time she said there would be at least a half hour wait. If I'm waiting that time I'll get it from Mama Papinos. So much better.”
“Doing a road trip from California. I've stopped at literally 40+ charging stations/ gas stations. This is the best food bar none. The milkshake is better than any I've had from even restaurants. The prices on the food is great. Staff is super welcoming and friendly. I couldn't recommend this place more.”
“I visited the cvs minute clinic to deal with stubborn ear wax. the attending nurse practitioner michelle is kind & helpful she got out the stubborn buildup in my left ear. If your looking for good medical help she's your lady!!”
