    Every time I call, the phone system hangs up on me. Can’t get in contact with the store.

    Gun counter needs serious work, browsed ammo section, in the market for a new handgun so browsed the case for 15 minutes , 2 employees back (one of which was quite young, browsing phone leaning against the register) there refused to make eye contact or speak to me, so I left. Are the prices good? Yea! Can I buy something if nobody engaged with me? No! Take my money somewhere else

    Waited 30 mins at the counter for one of the two employees to assist me. Neither would make eye contact or say that it would be a minute. Gave up and left.

    Normally I don’t write reviews, but this shopping trip deserves a public service announcement. Step one: the store lures you in with racks screaming 70% OFF. Jackpot, right? You spend time digging, picking out treasures, and feeling smug about your finds. Step two: reality hits the checkout line. There’s exactly one cashier for a line full of people clutching armfuls of clearance. Hope you brought a chair, because you’re going to be there a while. When my turn finally came, I drew the “Team Lead.” Lucky me. Instead of calling for backup to deal with the disaster of a line, he decided his true calling was part-time receptionist. So in between ringing up my items, he answered every ringing phone in the building. My checkout alone clocked in at 28 minutes. Yes, I timed it. And then—because apparently this store runs on chaos—he tells me that half my 70%-off items are actually… full price now. Why? Because they “just haven’t gotten around to moving them off the sales rack yet.” Oh, thanks for the clarification. Nothing like being scolded for believing the signs you plastered all over your own store. So, let’s recap: • Misleading racks that double as decoys. • A checkout line that moves slower than DMV on a Monday. • A “Team Lead” who thinks multitasking means ignoring the line while practicing his phone etiquette. • And the final flourish: being told, aggressively, that it’s my problem clearance isn’t really clearance. This wasn’t a shopping trip. It was an endurance test. Stick to online shopping—you’ll save money, time, and maybe a little bit of your dignity.
