If you ask him where something is he will point and wave his hand back and forth and say over there. If you ask for specifics he will ignore you. Then there is a woman in her mid-thirties who is a long time employee or co-owner who seems nice but will flip and become hostile in an instant. She interrogated me about what I was going to use cold whether window washer fluid for. It was non of her business, the fluid was for the cars window cleaning system, and when did window washer fluid become a controlled substance?! The last time I went in she asked if I had an Ace Rewards # and I said yes but it doesn't work even though I updated my contact information twice (Third time worked). After I said that, she turned to me with hatred on her face and just stared. I stared back, pushed the unpurchased items back, said I didn't want them and left. When I looked back she was still staring. Creepy! I am a polite person who goes to great length to not be noticed which is hard because I am a big dude. I especially do not want to be seen exhibiting untoward behavior at any time. With this I am certain their responses are not due to me being a jerk. Luckily, they are not the only game in town!

I've been coming up to our place on the East Shore for 40 years and have always supported the local…read morebusinesses in town. This trip to this Ace Hardware was the last straw. Our business will now go ONLY to Ayoobs or True Value in Westwood. The newer employee, a larger, balding guy, answered some questions yesterday about a sprinkler timer that was a new product. I was unsure of this new one, but purchased it anyway. After reading the bad product reviews, I decided to return it today, unopened. This guy asked me why was wrong with it and I said that nothing was wrong with it, I just wanted different brand and would buy it elsewhere since they didn't carry it any longer. The attitude I received from this POS was absolutely uncalled for. Word in a small town gets around fast. The older lady at the checkstand heard/saw the whole exchange and said absolutely nothing. no apology, nothing. She also has had a bad attitude the past few times I've been in there. I'll never set foot in this place again. I'd rather shop in Westwood True Value, Ayoobs, or actually make the trip to Chico rather than give this place another cent. I'll even do Amazon for next day delivery. I Changed my mind on a product and returned it in the same new condition, unopened. His belittling went on further, but I'll leave things at that. I hope these owners do something about this person, or sell the place. Other Yelp reviews confirm my point. Seniors, or anyone for that matter, shouldn't be spoken to like that, for literally doing nothing wrong other than returning something.
