- LTL Tiongson4 days ago1.0The people here did not seem to enjoy what they were doing, which made the overall experience unpleasant. Unfortunately, I had a similar experience to the previous review regarding an Asian female clerk who was condescending and rude. The interaction felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, and I hope the staff can be more respectful and courteous toward customers in the future.
- IJInes JaramilloAug 25, 20265.0Very nice workers
- JPJoanna PestkaAug 21, 20261.0Horrible service. At one point on this Friday afternoon only one window open for a long time. The line was very long and no one knew how long they will be waiting. Where are all these workers?
- NWNefertari williamsJul 15, 20264.0only 2 people were working so there was a line and waiting time maybe 10 minutes but fairly they move fast so it’s not so bad
- MCMichelle CastilloJul 14, 20261.0I had an unpleasant experience with the Asian female clerk working the counter. While I was trying to pay, she repeatedly said, "You see? No tap, only insert," even though I clearly understood. It came across as condescending rather than helpful. Repeated that to me 5 times- I don’t understand why. When I explained that I understood and simply wanted my question answered, she became defensive instead of assisting me. Customer service should be respectful, patient, and focused on helping customers—not making them feel talked down to. I hope management addresses this and provides additional customer service training. She was very defensive, did not make eye contact even after I said have. A good day-it was such an awkward experience, in her head it felt like if I was talking bad to her-maybe a culture thing? Not sure but get it together guys.
