How much is it worth to have a great hardware store in the neighborhood?…read more There's almost always a geezer (or owner) around who knows both the historical & the modern way to complete your project. I am constantly amazed that they actually have what I need; that staff knows where it is and that I don't have to walk a mile & still search for it. Even better, the person who will walk you to the item you need is the 1st person you see when you walk in the door. There is a good reason why this last neighborhood owned hardware store still in business. Yes, prices are usually a tad higher than big box stores. In my view, more than worth it. I always walk here first. Rarely do I have to drive somewhere else. If you factor in the cost to drive to big box store, Greive is actually much cheaper.

On more than one occasion they special ordered a part when they had 3 and I needed a 4th. They never gave me my own parking spot even after the 87th visit, but, hey the cashier claimed they never gave her a parking spot either! Not to worry there is actually more than sufficient parking.

I have been going here for 25+ years, back when it was Centerville Mill. I can get some things…read morethere I can't get at the big box stores. One thing is they do propane fills. Today I went to fill one of my tanks. They had about three tanks getting filled. The process is that the tank gets picked up at the front of the store and taken to the back behind the building and filled at the bulk propane tank. You then pick up your tank after paying. I had a relatively new tank (less than a year) with only three fills. One of the other people getting a tank filled walked off with mine. I complained because of how new my tank was and the tank that was left was older and worn. Store management replaced the tank at no expense to me. They need to improve their process, but they did good by me.

I went to grab one of the things I needed and found it was locked??? We are in Centerville so why is a simple screwdriver set locked? Which was extremely aggravating as I was short on time with a restless toddler. But I needed the tool so I waited in the cashier line since there was no one else around to ask for help. When I got to the front I asked him to unlock the item. He said that he would help me, but is going to ring the lady out who was behind me first....strike 1 as I had been already waiting for a while and now he wants to help others who were behind me. He didn't even ask me if that would be alright with me. He rings the lady out, which was a water jug exchange. She asks him to take the new jug to the car. He tells me to wait "four seconds"as he takes the water to her car. Strike 2 Why couldn't that lady wait until he helped me? Clearly as a black woman in a predominantly white neighborhood it was very evident my time was not as important or important at all as this white woman's. I wait then a considerable amount of time until FINALLY other employees show up out the blue. I ask one of them if they can help me and he apprehensively with raised eyebrows goes "Okkkkayy, what do you need". Strike 3 The micro racial aggression is palpable at this point. Like no mention of an apology of the very clear fact there is no one around, I need help, and no ask if I had been waiting a while. Which I have but the cashier thought helping other people was more of a priority than helping me. On top of that the second item I needed was simply a power screwdriver which they don't have in stock. What kind of hardware store doesn't have that... Overall a terrible experience. Not going back. And finding more avenues to post this review and give 1 star for one of the worst customer service experiences I have had in my life.

If you use a gift cert and return an item, they insist on giving you another gift cert BUT you must provide your driver's license so they can tie yet ANOTHER gift cart when you walked into the store with a gift card!! Why can they NOT put your refund back on your OWN gift cert? All the staff says is they can't do it that way. WHY??? I also want to know what is Home Depot doing with customer's personal data and driver's licenses numbers, addresses, etc. How long is Home Depot keeping my data and how are they keeping it safe?? Guess customers don't need to know that and morale this is 1) Don't use a gift ceret unless you want your personal data invaded or 2) just don't shop there. the STAFF is unhelpful and have nasty attitudes.
