The lady at weight station needs some training in customer service. She’s very rude and purposely makes people wait extra long. Been through multiple times and her poor attitude is always the same. Everyone else there is friendly and helpful. Nice to have a service like this in Minneapolis.

It's great that the city provides this free for residents. Sometimes lines are long. I wish they would market this place more as a recycling center where people were encouraged to come with nothing and leave with items. There is often lots of resuable materials here.
