If you long to time travel back to the 1980's, and love the service of rude and inept cashiers, then I highly recommend shopping at this Marc's store.
After shopping the store for roughly 30 minutes, and swiping the card to attempt to pay for our items, the portly young woman checking us out informs us that she could only accept cash or the Discover card...Yes, the Discover card. No Visa. No Master. Cash, or the Discover card, only. She directs us to the ATM, which wastes another 12 minutes of our time before we find out that the ATM is outdated and apparently not kept in working order.
The security guard, who was a kindly gentleman, says that it takes a while for it to dial up to a connection, and that it usually works after the customer runs their card through a second time.
Well, it didn't.
The cashier certainly cannot be blamed for this lack of current and functional technology, but she didn't need to compound an already irritating encounter, with her bitchy attitude and general rudeness.
As a customer, I really don't care to hear how unhappy or unfortunate she feels because she dislikes her job at Marc's.
I was just there for some banana drink, a shower curtain, and a few assorted odds & ends; not to listen to the woes of a rude, unhelpful cashier.
I usually do enjoy shopping at other Marc's locations, though.
I will never shop at this location, but I will continue to shop at other Marc's locations. One's where the cashiers aren't jerks, or don't seem to strive to make aggravating situations even worse for the customer. read more
