I went in to return some items, and the clerk, was SO rude! A small piece of my address label need to be taped. The clerk said "we don't do tape" in a very threatening rude voice. I said "it's just one piece" and he said I'll do it this once but never again! He proceeded to stare me down!.. I felt so uncomfortable and the other woman clerk behind him did nothing!! I left feeling so awful and never wanting to go back. I was legitimately nervous! Please fix this issue as it is completely unacceptable for someone to feel this way over a ridiculous slice of tape

The people who work here are nice. I think if they are going to close for lunch it should be the same time every day - or included in business hours. I previously went around 12:30 and it said they closed from 12-1 for lunch, so I went later this time to ensure they would be open. I get there at 2:02 and they are out to lunch until 3. Going to start walking to the other Belmont office from now on.
