It is strange how much I love the hardware store. I am into gardening this year, so I've spent a great deal of time looking at plants.
I also enjoy fixing things around the house, and some tools and supplies cross over into my crafting hobbies.
I have had trouble getting help at this location. There was one very nice woman in customer service, but she didn't know enough and needed the help of another woman (whom I've encountered before) is abrasive with regard to her uninformed status. She's one of those who talks the whole time about not thinking something is a thing, or someplace, the whole time the other rep is trying to help you, ostensibly hoping you'll give up and go away, until someone who actually knows walks over and gets it right away, helping the first cashier you originally asked. (This was the same woman who messed up a brand new cashier trying to check us out because the garden center closes here while you're still shopping in it :/)
Also, they shut down the self checkout at 9pm and make everyone stand in line for the one cash register, and then staff it with a new hire :/ Bad decisions, but for the most part, thankfully, because of the app, I can look up the location of what I need, customer testimonials, how to instructions, stock, quantity, etc. And I know to come in in the middle of the evening, so I am able to successfully navigate this store's quirks.
Best advice is to use the app to navigate the store and get in and out before 8am and about an hour after they open and you'll be good.
If you need something that's "in the cage" go to the Euless store instead.
Oh! And on Sundays, they open and close an hour later/earlier. I woke up one morning think it was Saturday when actually it was Sunday, also forgetting to check my app. A very nice manager opened the door at 13 minutes to go, to tell me they weren't open yet, but this was after I had turned back around after having walked after having read the sin on the door for myself. Thinking he was going to be nice and let me in, I smiled and walked back just before he closed the door in my face. I left and did not come back until later that day.
There was another incident with rude guys who little lady's my mother and I, but thankfully the one guy who knows everything walked up just in time to save us.
This is a store where if you don't interact with the employees, you're good, I'd what I'm saying. read more
