An honest review here...I came here to get my flooring because I liked the pattern best out of everything I had seen. It was not cheaper than in stores by any means. Antolin helped me on both Saturday and today and was BEYOND AMAZING. The man deserves a raise. He is literally the only reason I didn't back out of my $4600 purchase when the following happened:
When I walked in today with two small children in tow to make the final purchase and pick up on my flooring, a woman named Melissa asked me if I had a mask. I told her no. She said, "We have some here (pointing to a box) if you would like one." I told her no thank you. Now, let me be the first to say that while I don't desire and won't wear a mask if not mandated, I have no problem respecting the rights of small business owners and will wear one if told that this is the expectation. However what followed my decline of a mask that was only offered, never told that it was expected was this: "Well, honey, I make the rules, and you can either wear one or leave." (insert head shaking, full RBF, and attitude). I told her she didn't have to be rude and sent my kid to get a mask. She replied that she wasn't being rude but she made the rules.
After I picked up my flooring and was checking out with the same lovely woman, Melissa, I asked her her name. When she told me I said, "Melissa, can I just say that kindness goes a lot further than being rude and had you let me know that it was an expectation I would not have had a problem, but calling me honey in a condescending way and telling me you make the rules is extremely rude and unnecessary especially considering I'm about to spend over $4,500.00. Her response that she didn't say that was followed with her telling me that she didn't have to put up with me and literally leaving her register. She just walked off leaving me and two other men unattended. She didn't return and no one came up to replace her. I had to seek someone out on my own after several minutes went by.
While loading my flooring, I looked over and Melissa was back and was staring me down. Seriously, she wouldn't take her eyes off of me. Avoiding my first instinct to show her my favorite finger, I blew her a kiss and continued what I was doing. She then started yelling things out the door of the store at me!
This woman is completely unprofessional and possibly slightly menopausal or bipolar. She is a very poor reflection of a business that also has amazing employees like Antolin. I would think that the business would want someone that was the first and last face patrons to their business see to be a professional with manners and a smile, not a neurotic egotistical Karen on a power trip when she really has no power at all beyond pressing the buttons on a register.
While I still have about $10,000 worth of renovations to go, I won't be returning solely based on my experience with this one employee. read more
