Well being a fellow hardware retailer we just had to check the place out, this is where my daughter said "see you later mom"! After she rolled her eyes! Kids these days! Anyway we decided to have fun without her. You would think for a small town inside the place would be a little haphazard and the inventory a little lacking. But boy was I surprised. This place is well stocked and very organized, and the staff extremely nice and helpful! My favorite part had to be the nursery though! When I walked out there butterfly's were flying around! It's a family owned business and that means a lot to me. Everywhere you have these big box stores moving in and putting places like this out of business, so it was so nice to see the staff interact with customers they have known and helped for years. It was a pleasure to visit your store!!

Having just moved to town & residing in one of the less modern units, I needed many little items to make it more habitable, from double-faced tape (Gorilla tape recommendation was excellent) to basic tools, to getting keys made & a new keyring. The young man walked me thru the store aisle by aisle to find my listed items, pleasant & considerate as I mused over choices. I recommend this store to anyone seeking a "guide" thru the mysteries of hooks, paper towel hangers, pressure rods & such in making a new dwelling place habitable & efficient. The store had the goods & the helpers knew how to provide 5-star service. Thanks, Ace!

How does walking in to have keys copied end up with an employee screaming at a customer to, "get…read moreout of her store?" How does a store go from eliciting words of praise one day to the worst customer service experience of the year? I went to Raks to have some keys made. Simple, right? If only that were true. I presented three keys for duplication. The rep, Josh, advised that he may not have a blank for one of the keys, to which I responded, "leave it out, I have copies of that one." Unfortunately, Josh was new and fixated on making all three keys. Once again, I asked that they leave out the difficult key. As a customer, I have a right to decide what I want or don't want to buy. I was irritated, but polite. Fast forward to checkout. The price was more than expected for a couple sets of keys and a length of chain. I asked the cashier to double check. She told me that the difficult keys were $4.99 each to which I replied, "I told them to leave that key out." The next thing I know, the cashier, 'Louise,' is repeatedly screaming at me to, "get out of her store." UNACCEPTABLE. It's not her store. If it were, she wouldn't be in business very long screaming at customers at and chasing them out of the store. I've spoken to management. I've contacted Do-it-Best. I am hopeful that Raks will make this right. How, you may ask? I would like a personal apology from Louise. Anybody who so freely and openly verbally abuses another human being in the course of business should, be held accountable to face that person in apologetic remorse. In this case, I'll settle for feigned remorse. Review will be updated upon resolution.
