| - The candy is awesome, but the service is a bit hit-and-miss. Last year I went into this store for the first time. A very nice clerk explained how the bulk bins work: There's this whole mess of awesome candy -- about fifty tubs of the stuff -- which you can buy either in a bag by the pound, or by the flat-rate box. The box seemed like a better deal, so I did that, and it was... fine. But I would actually have liked to get a bit more, and the candy was sort of squished together.
So this year, though it might cost a bit more, I decided I'd just go by the pound. A very nice clerk asked me if I'd shopped there before, and I said yes, so the clerk let me have at it. I started filling up a bag with yummy stuff. There are four displays full of yummy stuff, and I'd just made it around the second display. A different clerk -- not the nice one -- came up and basically grabbed the bag out of my hand, saying it would be cheaper if I bought the candy by the box. He then dumped it in the box for me, squished it up a whole bunch, and took it to the register.
Dude. I was not done shopping. I was going to buy more stuff. I was going to put it in a bag where it wouldn't get all squished. I was going to give you more money. I don't understand why this should be a problem for either of us.
So, a big yessssss! for the candy, but some mixed results on the service.
