This is a Christian Store and the customer service isn't. My check out experience deserves zero stars. The cashier that checked me out. Called a floor associate up to the register and told him that he was going to be needed to cover for some one and I standing in line waiting and he didn't check me out. When it was finally my turn no greetings at all. She stuffed all items in the bag and wasn't going to bag my anointed oil separate and I also purchased a t shirt. There was another associate standing there and she said to me that she couldn't check me. When unfriendly cashier was finished with my transaction she didn't even bother to say anything. This was my first visit to Mardel. There was nothing Christian about it.

My wife bought a bible for me for Christmas from another source because Mardel does not sell this particular bible. She brought it into the Independence store today ( Black Friday ) to have my name imprinted on it. She filled out the sheet to have it imprinted, the gentleman then READ HER BACK how to spell my name and she agreed and walked around the store waiting for the imprint. She was then paged to Customer service and the young man then told her that he misspelled my name. THIS WAS A $70 Dollar bible that was ruined. My wife was very upset as she was looking forward to giving me this for Christmas. He explained that he would refund the imprint fee and he could put a " plate " on it which he did. This was not what my wife wanted. She came home ordered me ANOTHER BIBLE and has stated that she will take it back to Mardel to have it imprinted RIGHT. However the guy that messed up this bible WILL NEVER IMPRINT ANOTHER BIBLE FOR US AGAIN !!!!
Extremely disappointed with Mardel as we have had hundreds of bibles imprinted here and never had an issue until now !!!
