I told her what the situation was and asked if they could get another person at the customer service desk. She said it is lunch time. I told her that they should have enough staff to cover peoples lunch break. I was getting annoyed. Within less than 5 minutes there was another person and the line went so fast, it was actually shocking. Often times there is only 2 cashiers at the checkout. Often they are only in the cigarette aisle, which is the busiest aisle of all. There are usually many managers and employees walking around but they don't open a new lane even though they see the people in line.

While Lazy Daisy was good, there is not much more at the mall that interested me. While waited for our table at Lazy Daisy, we walked around the shopping center. There was a second hand store for arts and crafts projects which was cool but there doesn't seem to be much else going on at the mall. Still, there must be some stores worth checking out because the parking lot was nearly full.

Very happy to see that they are still operating.

Excellent place to furnish a new apartment for someone new in town…read more I moved to town in August and bought a 7ft couch ($50), large desk ($40), and nice office chair ($30) here. Best part: they deliver! I drive a small car and had no way to haul everything to my second-floor apartment let alone move it up the stairs myself. They charge $20 to deliver the first piece and $5 for each additional piece, so my total was $30 delivery. TOTALLY worth it, as the 7ft couch was heavy as hell and barely fit through my door. Thank goodness for those delivery guys. Oh, and I also found DOWN couch pillows with removable (aka washable) covers here for $2 each!! If your furniture needs aren't urgent, I would recommend stopping by frequently and waiting for good finds. The other day I saw 8 dark red wood office desks for sale at $50 each, all *very* nice and probably go for ten times that price retail. Some local office must have donated them, and I'm sure they were snatched up in a matter of days. To save on delivery fees, you can purchase something, tag your name to it, and leave it there for up to two weeks before scheduled delivery, and you can shop around for other furniture pieces in the meantime to combine into one delivery.

He knows me, I go in there absolutely every Saturday and I've spent a lot of money there. I've been contemplating the past two weeks about buying two chairs from there that are white and $125 each he made my decision easy not to buy them and not to come back there. Long story short the guys in back told me that he called in sick yesterday. Usually you get a courtesy call and maybe it is my fault but I got there early this morning and the table was already put back on the floor and then he tried to offer me a 15% coupon it's not the point that the table was only $12.Dollars. It's the point that he's rude and I'm not going back there. You have to treat people better I was really leaning on getting those white chairs for my kids apartment which would've been 250 minus any discounts that were available but after my encounter today, I like I said won't be going back there and I would not even buy a quarter item from them.

There are no clothes at this second hand store but everything else is abundant. If you're into antiques, I would definitely come here. They have everything from inexpensive jewelry to high end antiques. The aisles are overflowing with cool stuff! Every single nook and cranny is filled with neat knick knacks! The owners are not only knowledgable about their antiques for sale but also very knowledgable about Urbana history. It was great chatting with them! The only criticism is that their items are a little pricey in my opinion but it's all in great condition so you don't have to do any of the digging you do at other second hand shops.
