    Woman had the worst attitude ever. Everyone else working there was nice, but she was horrible.

    I came over here to write a review about a nasty encounter I had today at this location, and I'm not surprised to say the least that the rest of these reviews mention the one person who is clearly running this business to the ground. The lady stationed next to the entrance must hate her job by the way she treats and speaks to customers, and don't even bother asking her a question, she might as well cuss you out!

    The women at the desk are terrible and borderline hostile. Someone please fire them already! The number of reviews pointing out the same women with rude behavior needs to be addressed by the authorities.

    The African American lady at the front desk closest to the door is extremely rude and very unprofessional!
