The man working the counter on August 22, 2020 is really rude!!! He threw out a customer for asking about a price. Then when I was trying to pay for a picture frame (that he saw me pick up from the front counter) he said, “mmmmm cant sell it cuz I dont know the price.” But four of my other items had no prices (two books and two hats). He refused to call a manager to get a price. In today’s day and time, when every dollar counts, and stores are trying to make ends meet, I think the store management needs to evaluate their employee handbook and being rude to customers is unacceptable. I will not be back, who needs to be treated like that?
