Today was my first time in a 99 cent store. Wow. It has everything. I would never purchase food/beverages/pet products here, but for inexpensive gift bags, cards, toys, office supplies, then this place works. Customer service is lacking. But, you get what you pay for, right?! I was standing in line behind a couple checking out and after standing in line for a few minutes, the cashier slams (literally) a sign down that says "Closed" then shouted, "Ma'm I'm closed." As I was exiting the store, that same cashier was sitting on the curb smoking a cigarette. I think all businesses should mandate smoking areas to inconspicuous spaces. No one wants to see that or walk through billowing cigarette smoke just to get in/out of a building.
