I've been a customer for over a year. 2 times a week at least. I've been there through the ownership change. It's been great with one exception. There is an employee ( nakeeb) has made it very uncomfortable. During the month of Ramadan I came in to the store. The store was empty. The music was blaring.. he saw me enter the store. He turned his back on me and decided that right that moment with a paying customer in the store was the time to drop down and do his (prayers). He waited until someone was in the store to start the show. Rude to say the least. I stood there and watched his performance. The audacity. That was the last time I went to the store when he's working. He's also very inappropriate with female customers... And has appeared to be under the influence on more than occasion. The blaring vulgar rap music He plays while coming on to female customers in- between him being loaded and dropping down to do his knees to "pray" during business hours while customers are in the store. This has been going on for a while and the owners for whatever reason keep him on. I whish nakeeb the best however he's not the best fit for where he currently is.
Reviews
I have came into the store plenty of times and always have enjoyed the conversations with Izick. The other store employee... not so much. Nakeeb (spelling?) once was asleep in the front of the store and I felt too uncomfortable to wake him up so I left. I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt, especially Izick mentioning the long shifts they work. Other times I have came in and Nakeeb is there, for some reason he is barefoot. With the traffic that this location receives day to day, it seems very unhygienic. It seems as though my other colleagues who shop at this store have had some of the same experiences I have, especially women who felt preyed on by Nakeeb. Hopefully management decides to have some necessary conversations to keep their reputation intact. I would hate to lose business over one guy who can't get his ducks in a row.
Called @8:58 pm, they answered the phone but didn’t want the $. Business hours in attached picture.
Was not very happy. Purchased a vape, had no clue that the vape i purchased didn't have a battery . Went back the next day and was told to go buy a battery at Walmart because he didn't have any batteries for the vape. Needless to say this vape will be returned and I will not longer do business there.
Pretty small shop but it has a lot of options to choose from.
