    I don’t leave reviews - ever 🤣 Heard they had a Pokemon Center vending machine here. Usually they’re sold out, FINE. When I walked in, I saw an employee at the machine purchasing packs. Pretty weird to be honest - I see other reviews mentioning this as well.

    Unprofessional employees running the self checkout. Monday afternoon at 4:30pm I was waiting at self checkout when a register opened. The customer before me was packing her bag at the end of the register. I put my basket down, which was heavy, as I waited for the customer before me to finish. The employee said in a condescending tone, “what you can’t wait for her to finish?” I had not begun scanning, I just needed to put my basket down for a break while I let the lady finish packing her bags. I left her plenty of space. The lady did not mind. Meanwhile, there were old receipts lying on the floor and at least two other empty baskets sitting on the register scale I was using. The employee did not pick these up. They stood at their desk the entire time on their phone, only looking up to say something to me.

    I usually get a Shaws brand pecan pie at Shaws for Thanksgiving, They're usually pretty good.Today I went there they only had some Heartland brand pecan pies. Those pies looked really weird. I didn't take the chance and just left the store.

    There always never stocked with the stuff that I’m looking for. Always end up buying it from somewhere else. And always dirty!
