After spending over $100 I asked them if they had a bag or carrier or anything to carry out all of my stuff and the girl just rolled her eyes said no and walked away. I regret spending a penny in there, but I will never return. Just awful.

In the middle of our conversation, one employee started watching videos at full volume. The sound was loud enough to compete with the music already playing in the shop. I asked if he could use headphones, and to his credit, he turned it off. Not long afterward, another employee started doing the exact same thing. This continued on and off for the next hour. I was honestly stunned by the lack of basic manners.
