Horrible this one guy was very disrespectful towards my mom, because earlier that day we had gotten…read morea tractor. We got home and we had left to go back for something. We had someone who tried to start the tractor while on our way back and we got a call that the tractor wasn't working so when we got back there, we told this one guy that it wasn't working. He proceeded to act like my mom was stupid and didn't know what she was talking about, while asking for a ball we got a call that the tractor was working, we told him that it had worked again, THEN PROCCEDED TO START MAKING SNID COMMENTS ABOUT THEM. Then when they were loading the ball on HE GOES FULL SPEED ALMOST TO THE BACK END OF THE TRAILER. I was in the car with my siblings, the whole car shaked, doors closed because how fast he was going, then he slammed things down. I don't care how mad you are you are in a business that you should represent it with kindness and patience. Absolutely rude, and unprofessional, and you additionally endangered kids in the car with your immaturity.

They have all kinds of fun things, including snacks, toys, and clothing for men, women and children. I got a long summer dress for $10 (half off sale), and a top for $5, as well as a cool blanket (the type you sit on at an outdoor concert) for $7.88. This is a must go kind of place for the next trip to see the in-laws.

Usually a very friendly, pleasant experience with welcoming staff…read more Not so on 4/15/24. The young man who appeared to be in charge, offered to have staff find my part for me, so I handed over the old part, received a new part from an older gentleman and checked out. It was the wrong size. I went back, telling the young man that I could not make the 1.5" part I was provided fit the 1.25" fitting (as it was not the same size as the part I provided for replacement), only to be thoroughly offended as he told me perhaps I needed a plumber (to replace a HAND tightened PVC sink trap). I assured him I was perfectly capable of changing out the simple part, when I HAVE the CORRECT replacement part. I showed him the original part and the wrong part, and received another trap. That did NOT fit. Both employees failed to note that the trap I provided was threaded on only ONE end and therefore gave me traps threaded on both ends. I take full responsibility for failing to check the replacement parts both times BEFORE purchase, as I had unfortunately grown accustomed to trusting the employees to know their business. After all, isn't it just a game of matching the part? Observation skills? Maybe that just can't be trained :-/ So now I had lost the time, distance, and convenience factors (thereby wasting my client's money) of going to Do It Best vs a big box store and I had been insulted. I went to the store a third time, rather frustrated, I think for good reason, only to find the young man had NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in ASSISTING me with finding the correct part. He outright told me to go to a big box store. So much for the benefits one used to find by going to the local store :-(. Truly disappointing in a store I once enjoyed going to and whose employees were always kind and welcoming. Albeit, the woman behind the counter was still friendly and the guy at the paint counter was quite welcoming. Too bad it wasn't paint that I needed that day. Perhaps some employee training, education, or rearranging can help redeem the store eventually. But customer service like that was MUCH MUCH worse than no customer service at all! In the end, I looked for and found the correct part independently at a local family owned store. If you want something done right...

Sixty-eight cents, for three-sixteenths of steel, A relic small, as if the past were sweet, Like candy once sold by merchants who'd deal In simpler wares, before our age's deceit. Yet in the lot, where trucks hummed low and gray, A man in blue, his chest a logoed sea, Spoke of unions, prices, the Fed's great sway, And crypto bills that bind what once was free. He pressed in hand a list of podcasts, links, Modern tracts, like those the prophets made; And in my mind the sacred scroll now blinks-- Revelations, and Jesus, whip displayed. The temple's tables, overturned with wrath, The dollar's ghost, the "greenback's" fragile path. And yet, I left with only what I sought: A bolt, not soda, though the thirst was strong. For in such errands, oddly, I am taught That even common days to verse belong.
