I found the woman in charge of their hiring to be highly manipulative and if my interaction with her was any indication, both customer and employee, alike are treated like garbage here.
They wonder why they can't find anyone to work for them when they wait a week to call people back and make extreme low-ball offers and then suggest to the person that their minimal offer is actually their maximal offer. In the dating world this would be called 'negging' but in this context I call it staggering, in-your-face dishonesty indicative of sociopathy.
The woman kept insisting upon her honesty unbidden despite my never having accused her of anything to the contrary. She first claimed that because her store is small that she cannot afford to pay the "generous wages" offered by "big-box retailers" and then proceeded to state, in a Philadelphia accent, verbatim, "You should be aware that in the State of Pennsylvania, minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour and so $11 per hour is more than we are obligated to pay." This comes in 2022 when even Wally World is paying $17. This is also problematic since in the job listing on Indeed, they claimed to be offering $15.
Dishonesty in multiple dimensions, overpriced crap in their store, and lazy, ignorant employees make visiting here a waste of anyone's time. read more
