    Hard seller at the register, tried to make me feel like an idiot for not signing up for their rewards program. I won't be coming back.

    Older Gentleman close to close was really pushy about getting a phone number. Tried to gaslight by saying it hurts them/their numbers if they don't get it. Ended up putting my item back and walking out.

    Rebecca was one of the worst customer service reps. She was very dismissive and when we had questions she refused to answer and told us to look online for an answer..Even though she did return some of our items it is unbelievable that you can have customer service reps talk to customers like that regardless of the situation.. I would recommend waiting an extra 5 minutes in line to not have to interact with her.
