Honestly, things were not quite as cheap as I thought they would be. I came in looking for some restaurant style serving trays and could not find what I was looking for. For the amount of people that seemed to be working, nobody asked me if I needed any help. The dangerous part -- I encountered several instances of giant bags of flour and boxes of food toppled into the aisles. The workers were also driving around the forklifts/risers SO FAST.

I kinda wanted the ketchup and mustard bottles to put my face wash in in my bathroom. Maybe I'll have to go back.

I rate 4 stars since there could have been more equipment for sale, as well as general glassware selection.
