Review

REALLY BAD!!. I’m not going to bore you with the details of my experience. But I must comment on the dramatic change in the environment since the change in management. The attitude of the employees at this location is horrible! From both the manager and his employees. I have been a customer here for 13 years. I have never in my life been treated so poorly as I was on 1/6/24. I have never seen such an enormous lack of respect displayed towards customers by employees. I realize they have a difficult job and I take that into consideration. But their behavior is over the top bad!!
