Why You Might Consider Alternatives

Recent observations suggest that some newer staff may lack sufficient training and are unable to provide assistance, potentially directing you to ask someone else instead of providing direct help.
- Price organization issues: You might find price organization to be an issue, especially in the wood area, making it difficult to determine prices.
- Limited services that you would expect: Be aware that the store may not offer on-site services you'd expect, such as a table saw for cutting countertops, potentially leading to the need to seek outside services.
- Seasonal product availability: Shoppers should be aware that some seasonal products may be unavailable. For example, hedge trimmers may be put away for the season, limiting options for fall cleanup.
