    Great cheese selection and helpful cheese dept. Cashiers generally seem to be rude. If you're part owner, then act like you care.

    Glad there isn't more parking, otherwise navigating inside the store would be impossible! And they'd run out of delicious cheese samples.

    Stocking inanimate inventory is apparently more important than assisting humans here. You pretty much have to help yourself. Bad customer service in the makeup department.
