However, if you're going in for other things, it's not a bad place at all.”

“I just wanted to share my experience at this location. The woman who checked me out was getting irritated because my card was declining so I went outside to figure it out, I came back in and it still declined so I could only get one item I needed and had to put back the other things I was going to get for my children. I’m not sure if it was the manger or store owner but he paid for my boys things no questions asked! I really appreciate his kindness and he definitely made mine and my boys day! I will be paying it forward when I can!! Thank you again!”
