When my grandson liked WW2 planes the person (I don't want to say salesman since there was absolutely no pressure or upselling) explained the different types of planes. Also he recommended which ones for a beginner modeler based on size and number of parts. Very helpful. Plus I called for a question when he started painting. The question was answered right away without having to be transferred to another person. So very helpful in that store. I'd like to also click on value but they only let me select service and selection.

I visited Hobby Bench today around 4:20 p.m. and had a very disappointing experience with an…read moreemployee named Frank. I had interacted with him before and found his attitude unprofessional, and today's visit left me feeling the same way. Throughout my visit, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience. When it came time to bag my purchases, Frank said that it wasn't his job. His tone and attitude made me feel unwelcome instead of appreciated as a paying customer. I expect basic courtesy and respectful service. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this location while Frank continues to work there. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how customers are treated.

Heather in the framing department was excellent. She was knowledgable, efficient, incredibly responsive and helpful. It's just that the front of the store checkout process to pay for my two items was incredibly slow. The lines were very long with 50% off Christmas items being very popular. If they are discounting now, I wondered how much they must markup their inventory. My recommendation is for this store to invest in new computerized registers. The clerks had to enter each line item by inventory number. They need scanners. Also, when the lines are that long, provide one line with 10 items or less. The customers ahead of me had about 30 items in their cart-$700 worth. I had two. It took 25 minutes to check out and pay for my frame repairs I must admit the nice clerk apologized for how long it took and told me to have a blessed day. I was cranky and her attitude did help. Moving forward, I will avoid this store.
