How to lose a good customer over less than a dollar! I often…read moreshop at Burney True Value Hardware as it is convenient and I have always liked to support local businesses over the chains like Home Depot and Lowes. Today, was my FINAL shopping experience at Burney. I had purchased a few screws for a project a week or so ago and didn't need them. Today, I tried to return them and buy some more items. I thought I had the receipt in the bag but I did not seem to have it with me. I asked if I could return them without the receipt. The total for the four screws was a whopping .82. I was told that they couldn't return them without the receipt as they have hundreds of SKU numbers and they wouldn't know which one I was returning. This made logical sense until I looked at my bag a little further. The gentleman that helped me pick out the screws didn't seem to write down the SKU number on my bag! How was it rung up when I purchased it? I assume by some generic key that charged me the .82, the same generic key that could have refunded my .82! Sorry Burney you lost me for good over this one, shame on your staff!

Do not buy your Stihl equipment from here. I bought a ton from there and soon as a pole saw gets a…read morecracked gear head they tried to price gauge me when it's under warranty. The tech called Stihl and sent them pictures trying to get them to deny doing the warranty. The saw had a scratch from where it sits on my trailer. The tech told Stihl I did some crazy stuff when he didn't even know. So Stihl denied it. I called Stihl and they told me they don't know why the tech called and sent them pictures trying to get it denied but they said yea clear warranty problem. I've emailed the store several times trying to speak with a manager and the won't respond. They kept my saw for two months before they called me and said we can't fix under warranty. Now I have to take saw to different shop out my area. Sorry place. Hate I spent so much money there

As the night gentlemen helped me find the outlet covers($.62), I was checking out the shop. It's tight but it's right. You gotta turn sideways for folks to get by.

I purchased a jar of locally produced honey $10.45. I'll definitely come back here for future projects.

Well I finally found one. I was looking to buy 26 bags of gravel for a job I am doing and I'll be. Walked by Garrett from lawn and garden stepped up to us and asked if we needed help. That's a first. Then he proceeded to load up a pallet of the 26 bags of rock while I went to pay at the register. He had it load and pulled around waiting for us and help loaded it on the trailer. I am currently on hold trying to get in touch with a manager to let them know what an exceptional employee they have. But been on hold for over 10 mins now. .

The employees loading the grill complained about it was hot and they were ready to go home several times, the other employee was rough and just threw the grill on the back of my truck. Neither of them were professional or friendly. The lid was dropped several times ending up with dents. No one expressed they were sorry, once loaded they both just walked away. Over the past month I spent approximately $2000.00 at Lowe's. I purchased a refrigerator and landscape blocks and then on 30th I spent approximately $500.00. I won't be going back there and will recommend to my family and friends not to purchase from there. Your employees represent your company so you would think they would be more interested and polite.
