- MOMolly OliverAug 1, 20231.0Really poor customer service over a few visits. Repeatedly (and condescendingly) told I don’t know when asking for a reason why multiple things weren’t working (qr code printing, two day shipping guaranteed at three day shipping despite it costing more to get two day…) and little to no effort into problem solving the issue or attempting to look into the matter. Won’t return to this location.
- NMNico MercurySep 6, 20221.0only go here if you want to deal with rude people who refuse to help you and act like you are worthless.
