The manager/owner (I think he's also the owner) is outstanding in his business practices and how he…read moretreats his customers. He shocked me with something he did that was totally unsolicited on my part. I didn't ask him for any favours -- he just did one, and it was a big one.

My gf says he is ready to pay for his movies to the salesman(meaning I was ready) and the guy says he will be next. F-u!! I left the movies on the counter, told her to putt henhouse back that I would have bought her, and we left. NEVER WILL I SET FOOT IN THIS DUMP AGAIN!! This is three times I been there for this exact same thing to happen. (Guess I should have been born a different color)
