I am not a usual Yelp user, however I feel that I need to say something to someone out loud about what I witnessed today at the Wildomar Ace Hardware. I was there around 4pm, nothing too crazy I went in for something small and I really like that this is close to my home. I got what I needed with some help from a pleasant employee on the floor who asked if I needed help finding something, which I did and he very happily showed me. Which is why I gave it 2 not 1 star. I was very pleased with my service until I got to the register, while I was being helped, the cashier next to me had an older gentleman cashing out, he seemed to be a little confused by this "round up to the dollar" fundraiser that they have going on. The older man wasn't sure what he had pressed yes to, the cashier then tells him that he pressed yes to donate and it rounds up your total to the nearest dollar and if he didn't want to donate, he could go back and the man could push no. Easy enough right? The older man said yes, as in yes I would like you to go back, the cashier then says "yes" like you want to donate and older man says no. The cashier then gets nasty and says, " Sir I am just trying to help you, do you want to donate or not, I am just trying to make sure, first you said yes, then you said no"! The older man said "I am sorry I'm 89 years old I don't really know how to use these machines"... which is understandable since its probably new technology to him. The older man seemed a little taken back by the cashiers rude attitude change. He really had a nasty, non customer service like tone with this man. The older man proceeds to walk out and the cashier then turns to the other cashier and says a nasty comment and basically makes fun of the older gentleman.... I am sorry but the older gentleman being 89 years old has some getting used to with technology, I understand that, but to have someone be that rude and snap at an elderly person, let alone any person made me want to leave my things and walk out. The sad part is I think the cashier was a supervisor. I did not want to ask to speak to the supervisor because I followed the older gentleman out and apologized for the rude employee, saying that some people just have bad days, and that sometimes the keypads are tricky for even the avid shopper like me. He laughed and got in his car. So even for the rude employee to be rude to an elderly man, who was just confused as I am sure most of them are with all these new electronics in the stores, he was also rude to a veteran, the older man had a Vietnam Vet sticker on his car as well as a MY GRANDSON IS A MARINE sticker. Not that the employee knew the older man was a vet, but I mean come on, treat everyone with respect and kindness. That makes my blood boil more than anything, he didn't have to be rude in the first place, but then to be rude to someone who has served this country, and fought for the right for you to be free was just out right disgusting. I like to shop local and give money to the community instead of the big hardware stores, but this person was just nasty and i feel like he should think twice about saying things, out loud in front of other people. It's a little unsettling to know that he was so rude to someone so nice and he just did not care to try and help the situation at all, he was rude and chose to continue being rude. I really hope that the employee, he knows who he is, understands that it's not okay, not one bit. read more
