She and one other girl went through my clothes very fast and efficiently while still taking care of everything that needed to be done in the store and had an offer for me within minutes that I was satisfied with. I'm not sure if brianna is a manager , but she definitely needs to be. She is very professional, sweet. And I look forward to visiting her again, and I'm also very grateful that she was able to fix the way I felt about that location, because I really do like the things that they have in that store. I just did not like the attitudes , and it seems like they have weeded out all the problems. Breonna , if you see this , thank you so much for everything!!!

I heard that this place pays for items you want to sell with cash. Probably, if you were doing a…read moreconsignment, you'd get more for your items, but if quick cash is your thing, I'd try it out just to understand the process. I finally made the time to drop off a few of my X's gifts that I wanted out of my house. A name brand purse was involved. Besides some name brand perfume and a dress from Shein, the experiment was small. I was expecting at least $50 for the haul, but haha - $18 was my takeaway. I at least have to applaud them processing the haul prior to the estimated time. I was in the parking lot managing my next stop when I received a text that my offer was ready. I was told the offer is computerized and not left up to the store members. I really didn't care - it was a gift that I didn't want in my house anymore, so the $18 was more than I was getting with it collecting dust. You may say just donate it, but clothing accessory donations have not yielded me any tax breaks over the years, so I gladly took my 18 bucks and will buy groceries for the church food bank. Additionally, the Shein dress (that by the way had never been worn and had the tags on it) as well as barely used perfume was not accepted items. They offered to donate the dress to Goodwill, and I gave the perfume to the young lady who was working the hauls. Again, I didn't want the items in my house anymore, so my goal was accomplished. Now, if it had been my own stuff I paid money for, I probably would have taken those items back and found someone to buy them or put them under consignment. However, since it was no cost to me, the experiment was just okay for me. I know they'll make way more than $18 off that name brand purse, but that's the trade-off for same day cash back for selling items. Overall, I'm sure this is a great resource for people who need cash right away, but I'm never in that kind of bind to just give my stuff away, which you are almost doing at Plato's. As far as the selection of clothes to buy, I didn't check. It was way too crowded for my taste with bunches of racks. Since I'm not a shopper most days, I wasn't moved to look either. Maybe one day soon, I'll choose to do so and give an overall review of this place, but for now, you have insight on being a seller at Plato's in case you're interested.

The drive through employees are nice and the pharmacists seem to really care. I have only had slow people a few times and it is not because they are goofing off. It is because they have to do a lot behind the scenes for some medications.

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Greta Adams, a practitioner at…read moreMinuteClinic. I scheduled my daughter's appointment four days in advance for 2:30 PM. Despite having a scheduled appointment, we were not seen until 4:15 PM--an exact wait time of 1 hour and 45 minutes past the scheduled appointment time. To add to the frustration, another patient in the waiting room had a 3:10 PM appointment and was also still waiting to be seen. During this time, Greta spent approximately 40 minutes laughing and chatting with another patient while multiple patients remained in the waiting area. When I respectfully addressed the excessive wait time, I was met with a nasty and dismissive attitude rather than professionalism or an explanation. What made the situation even more frustrating was that, after the patient before me left, it appeared that my daughter and I were next in the queue. However, Greta attempted to call another patient ahead of us and stated that someone else was before us, despite the check-in screen indicating otherwise. The individual she referenced appeared last in the queue and was not even present at the time. My preteen daughter was there for a physical--the same type of physical I brought her to this location for last year. I was then told that the protocol had changed and that Greta could not complete my daughter's physical without a specific school form being completely filled out. The practitioner who completed my daughter's physical last year did not require this form, so this was frustrating and unexpected. Throughout our interaction, Greta also repeatedly vented to both me and my preteen daughter about working alone on a Saturday and not receiving a lunch break. While I understand that staffing challenges and working conditions can be difficult, it is inappropriate to place those frustrations on patients, especially in front of a child. Those concerns should be addressed with management--not repeatedly discussed with patients who are simply there to receive care. I understand that healthcare professionals can have busy and stressful days, and I am sympathetic to being short-staffed. However, patients should still be treated with courtesy, honesty, professionalism, and respect. More importantly, MinuteClinic's appointment scheduling and patient queue process need to be seriously reviewed. If patients can schedule appointments days in advance and still wait nearly two hours to be seen, while the order of patients being called does not appear to match the queue displayed on the screen, there is clearly an issue that needs to be addressed. Overall, this was an extremely unprofessional experience. I hope MinuteClinic management takes this complaint seriously and reviews both the conduct displayed during this visit and the appointment/check-in process at this location.

Always a great time when I come into Half Price Books. It is always a good feeling to support a book store that gives great products and service. Every time I call, they pick up quickly and are eager to help. They have a variety of books that you can choose from if you want to walk in.

It was incredibly crowded and the books being sold kept piling up. I could tell the employees were overwhelmed, but despite their stress they were still kind to me. They didn't make me feel like a burden for adding to their workload and they were honest about how long it would likely take. I ended up waiting in the store for around 2 hours (which is the longest I've ever waited to sell my books). However, the store is huge and there are so many things to look at! I ended up finding a gift for my brother and a birthday card for my mom! And then, when they called me back they offered me around $45 for all my books! If you've ever sold books or clothes to thrift stores or Half Price Books, you know that's a great offer (especially because I only brought in a box). I brought in a lot of popular books in near perfect condition, as well as a few educational reads from a physics class I took in college. All in all, I love Half Price Books! There are always so many awesome books and items to discover on the shelves, especially at this location. If you're looking for your next favorite book, to sell your old books, a copy of something for school, a new board game, a record, or so many things in between, I would highly recommend Half Price Books!

I am a regular customer who visits this location every Friday night to enjoy the store. However, my experience this past week was completely unacceptable. While the store's posted closing time is 9:00 PM, the manager on duty began aggressively shutting down and rushing customers out at 8:50 PM. By 8:55 PM, she demanded that everyone be completely out of the building. More concerningly, she completely locked and closed the back entrance leading to the parking lot by 8:55 PM. I was traveling with two small children and asked if we could exit through that door to get to our vehicle safely. The manager flatly refused to reopen the door, rudely stating that she "didn't have time" and that the "door was too heavy." Locking exits early and forcing a parent with two young children to walk all the way around the building in the dark--simply because a manager wants to leave early--is a major customer service failure and a safety concern. This manager demonstrated a complete disregard for paying customers and clear resentment toward her job responsibilities. As a loyal customer, I expect much better leadership and basic empathy from Barnes & Noble management. I request that this incident be reviewed with the store's general manager and regional leadership, and I look forward to your response regarding how this is being addressed. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter
