I am only giving this place a one star rating because the store itself has a huge amount of merchandise that if one were able and alliwed to browse and shop through would make it a fantastic Army surplus store although they have completely overpriced merchandise. My most recent and last experience shopping here took place in January of 2015. I will never step foot in or patronize this buisness establishment again and i am giving the same advice to anybody that is thinking of going there to shop or purchace anything at all. The stores employees /sales staff are the rudest and worst store/sales employees I have ever encountered at any buisness establishment in my life. There was a cranky, grumpy old man a person who i would assume is the owner or the stores manager that sat in a chair in the front corner of the store by the check out counter that was one of the most completly unprofessional ,unfriendly store owners or managers of a place of buisness that i have ever been in . He was snide ,rude ,completely unhelpful and barked out incredulous rules ,statements and of restrictions for the browsing , looking and shopping of merchandise in said establishment Half the store/shop closed off . The aisles were roped and quardened and closed off with no ryme or reason. ,the store is not set up like a normal store , nor would one expect it to be , there are hundreds maybe thousands of different manufacturers, name brands, and sizes , material ,and types of shirts ,pants ,jackets ,hats,shoes, work clothing, and military and so much variety of new ,used military surplus merchandise stacked to the ceiling like a hoarding house. it is pickers type, storage warehouse ,garage sale , browsing store and meant to be explored because the customer cannot see everything due to most all of the clothing and merchandise being in piles ontop of piles , and unsorted . Upon Finding a item i might be interested in looking and looking for my size ,one cannnot find another like it because the items are not sorted organized and sized . Seeing a jacket i was interested in hanging at the end of a aisle in the middle of the store 2 feet away from where the aisle was roped off I was told you. Cant go back there? The jacket was a 3X Xl and i asked the employee if they had a ExLarge and was told oh i dont know ,maybe we might have one in storage and Are you really serious about purchasing said jacket? Wtf? I found a full cotton work suit that was right in the middle of the rope of that closed off aisle area the pants part of the suit was half in the closed section and the top off the work suit was in the allowable shopping veiwing section on the other side of thr rope. It was my size XL made in the USA . Which i like to look for and find but there was no price tag on this itrm . I asked the employee who was right behind me breathing down my neck how much the price was? Oh you have to take it up to the counter i was told , so i go up to the counter where there was nobody at to begin with and then proceed to ask the rude old man that was sitting down in the corner in front of the counter what the price of the cotton work suit was and he asks me why i want this work suit and did i take the price tag off? and proceeds to then show me a little label on the item that says the cotton work suit is fire prooff and did i know how much a pair of pants made from this so called fire retardant cotton material costs? I said i didnt know and just wanted to know what the cost of this thin blue work suit was. He then asks me why am i asking him ? I said well you are up here in front of the counter and was told i could find out the price at the counter ,and that i thought he was the owner or manager and he says what makes me think he is the owner ? he just is in the front of the store to help people. He then tells me that a pair of pants like this costs would cost $200.00 and what do i think the work suit would cost ? What would i pay for the worksuit what do i think its worth ? And that i shouldnt be looking at buying a worksuit made out of this fire retardant cotton material Now im really like WTF is wrong with this guy and people? . buliding and store is really to small to adequately house and display organize the merchandise . It is a disasterous, unorganized and disheveled mess. I shopped this store quite a few times a good 20 and plus years ago and it was basically the same experience, but the whole store and its aisles were open to browse and one was allowed to look through the merchandise without being asked what one was looking for, or wasnt told you cant look over there in the middle of a random aisle or you cant go any further down a aisle because it was closed off randomly in the middle of pscs of clothing and that was in between a roped off area. The sales staff were helpful and didn't hover over you and harrass you like you were in a jewelry store. read more
