    Great movie selection here! Not sure about the books since we didn’t look at them but the VHS section is huge! I’m sure their book selection is flawless as well. The staff was also super friendly and helpful too.

    What’s up with everyone who works here? They act like they’re doing mandatory community service and not getting paid. They’re always in a bad mood—angry, rude—and when you ask them something, they just ignore you.
