I went in to buy a Christmas present. I found what I needed/wanted ...even better the sign said an ADDITIONAL 50% off apparel. As I made my way to the front of the store to pay I kept looking around for an employee since there was no one behind the counter. All I saw were three other customers scattered throughout the store.There was a gentleman also waiting to check out. After over 5 minutes waiting 3 employees finally emerged from the back area laughing as they came out. As one of the employees came towards the counter/register she was shaking her head as she said "I just work here." I did tell her that we were wondering where all the employees were because it was dangerous to leave the store unattended when she mentioned that there was a box in back with no name on it & items they had no idea what to do with. I still don't know why it would take all 3 employees to figure it out & leave the store unattended. As she checked the gentleman out another employee (I believe she was the manager on duty) asking her which register she was going to check him out on. When she told her which register she was told to use the other register since the other employee was going to close down the one register (it was 8:15pm) so it would be one last thing she had to do. All this while I was standing there ready to check out. I finally asked this employee if she could ring me out before she shut the register down. She hesitated & you could tell she wasn't thrilled to do that. She quickly went to check me out but without the discount. So, I told her I didn't want the item if it wasn't an additional 50%off. She left the register area & I asked the other employee what the name was of the woman who had wanted to shut down the register & reluctantly checked me out. Her name was AC. If she is the manager she sets the tone for employees at the store. I can tell you that I will not be shopping here. This manager was more interested in closing & leaving then doing her job & taking care of the customers in the store. If this is how customers are normally treated I predict the store won't last long at Brier Creek. read more
