Horrible store...poorly trained staff, sloppy merchandising, messy, dirty shelving, poorly stocked shelves, lots of missing merchandise with empty hooks in pegboards. Looks like supervision totally lacking with no co-ordination between sections (each clerk seems to have his/her own domain), no knowledge of where other goods are located.
