If you ever wanted to be treated like a thief this is the place to go.
First of all this is all junk from like storage wars (storage unit) stuff. They tend to buy out storage lockers that go unpaid and what you are seeing is stuff from storage units and stuff. A lot of stuff is pure junk, expired food items, expired shampoo, clothes with possible mites, you name it.
It's basically a large compilation of people's and businesses storage units and throwaways. Like a flea market from 1991.
Here is the worst part though...the over the top employees who treat you like a thief.
The workers there continually stare at you, some will follow you around the store. These people are kinda crazy, they think you're going to steal something, steal their junk. It was funny for a while but it happens every time you go. Next time watch for this stuff, these people are kinda nutty and treat you like a thief.
1. They will greet you when you come into the store. (This is a retail 101 tactic to greet a customer as they walk in because it will deter theft. It tells the customer that someone saw you and will be seeing you. It helps deter theft.) What's funny is that these guys do it to look like they're being friendly when in fact it's done to let you know they saw you, that's the real reason they are so adamant about telling you hello, but it's a hello with a stare down. lol.
I get it. It's a retail tactic, but don't get fooled by their smile.
Anyhow, after you're in, walk the aisles and if you think I'm lying, do a glace at the guy behind the counter once in a while and you'll notice, he is already looking at you. lol
Count the times you are being watched, my record one time was 9 times.
2. When there is more than 2 guests in the store, and if they have 2 employees, one will tell the other, "I'm going to walk the store..." This is code for I'm on security watch duty but going to pretend I'm fixing the shelf.
They do this a lot and it's just embarrassing because there I am looking at their storage wars junk and thinking these people can't be serious about thinking I'm here to steal $1.00 used condoms gaff gifts or a broken no latch case. It's insane. Not even the dollar store does this kind of over the top anti-theft crap. It's not just done on me, I've seen them doing it on other people, it's so bad, that it's really obvious.
But this dude that works there, kinda mentally challenged dude, will just do this horrible acting job like he's fixing a shelf but he's just eyeing you. It's really embarrassing. Next time you go, just watch what they do, it's bat shit crazy how worked up they get about retail theft there. I mean I get it, thieves suck, but dude this place is not a fucking gold mine that people want to go to jail over stealing a $1 2032 watch battery or a torn L.A. Clippers shirt that have printing mistakes or a 2003 New York Mets dusty keychain.
I'VE NEVER STOLEN ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE, bought quite a few things in the past, just dealt with their stupid bullshit, but their spy tactics we're getting out of hand and annoying. They're neurotic and will treat you like a criminal. I had to stop going.
I work too hard for my money to be treated like I'm some thief at a fucking used leftover storage unit garage sale.
Gimmie a break. This is a storage unit garage sale, not Saks Fifth Avenue. read more
