First off, the selection and friendliness of the staff were great - but then something happened that I've never experienced before (at least to my knowledge). I brought my fireworks to the counter to check out and laid them all on the counter. As they were scanning the items a person in the store (an employee I'm assuming) casually slid a box of small fireworks (about the size of an Altoids container only thicker) into the pile being scanned. The checkout person scanned it but instead of placing it in the bag she casually put it to the side of the register. I thought they were perhaps giving me a little gift for free (it was only about sixty cents) but they completed scanning the items, I paid for it by credit card and they never placed the small box in my bag. They thanked me for my business and told me to have a good day. At this point I was kind of confused - I wanted to ask about the box but, at the time, didn't really know what to say. So I left not really wanting to make a scene over 60 cents. As I looked back into the store as I was leaving they handed the box to a a younger boy who I'm assuming was their grandchild as they had who looked like family in the store (though I can't say for certain). The whole process was very fluid and had I not been paying attention wouldn't have noticed at all. If I had to rate them on pure ethics I would give them a zero as they basically stole my money. It was only sixty cents but I guess it's the principle of the matter. I gave them two stars because the store did have a great selection with good prices and the staff were nice and knowledgeable with the exception of the above experience - I would go there again for the fireworks but be extra careful when checking out!!!!! Also, their receipts aren't itemized unfortunately.
