  DO NOT, under any circumstances, give this establishment your money. They employ a pathological liar who cannot separate work from play and smokes weed on the job without consequence - and their district manager Jessica is equally untrustworthy, not to mention utterly spineless. False allegations from the aforementioned employee caused me to be harrassed on multiple occasions by the local police, and banned from the location even after the aforementioned district manager assured me they would stop this defamation of my character. I have never been more outraged, nor have I ever had my dignity/rights violated to such an extent as what transpired at this store. I will be reporting my experience to corporate headquarters.

  The prices are equivalent to other small stores in the area. I had visited to get cream cheese. They had one package. The box of this package was opened. There is only ever one cash register open. There is no sufficient place to put the products you are purchasing. This IS supposed to be a quick shopping place, but because the store carries nearly every household need, you can fill the mini-carriages they provide, and easily fill the handbaskets provided. On my visit, I purchased corn starch even though the cream cheese was unavailable. I watch the cashier struggle to accommodate a large order, and she was hit in the head by a mop handle with no apology from the customer who was oblivious. There was a line of three people. The cashier never got flustered or nasty with the customers, which I found commendable. I would have made an exclamation with the abuse this customer was putting forward, and on a Sunday. There are no other workers in the store at various times, and so a customer is left on their own to find products in a packed store. There is not much room to walk between isles. Everything from Liquid Plummer to Eyeliner can be found in this store. Art work to decorate, shower curtains, and pet food are all here. I also picked up a dollar bag of Carry Outs burgers for my dog. There were different types for a dollar available. There was a variety of cat products as well, with bird food too. I did not note rabbit, hamster, or other possible small animal food present besides fish food, and it was not a common brand. This store has reasonable prices for what is there. Brands can range from Kellog's to something you have never seen before for a lesser price. There is a small area for socks, underwear, and like items. Hygene products are plentiful, and at a reasonable price for name brands. At the register, there were tablets for $50, batteries and small young child enexpensive quality toys. The woman before me ordered cigarettes, and the cashier asked her if she didn't want what was apparently her brand she picks up regularly at this location. The customer laughed at the fact the cashier knew her brand better then she did. It is "small town" shopping for sure. Because of this, I was not surprised that the store was out of cream cheese. The Villiage IGA is about a mile further down the road, has higher prices, but quality meats are available there. It is not a quick shop lime Family Dollar is. This store is a step up from a gas station market.
