“5 stars because of Helen. She is the best ever. I went out of my way to Bay City for a while because the staff made me feel unwelcome until I tried again and met Helen. I purposely come during Helen’s shifts now because she is such a ray of sunshine …All the time!!! She is like visiting family for a minute :) I think someone else said that in reviews, so they must have had Helen as a cashier. She’s quick witted, great at service and always helpful along with her bubbly personality. She makes a rainy day full of sunshine!!”
