<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2738702, member: 17665"]I will not mention the name of my local store, but here is something that is not a part of their mission. I will call it their "Secret Room". The main building is a two story one. (There are also two more huge buildings with furniture) On the second floor is mostly seasonal items that change with the holidays. Off to one side is a room that is blocked from entry with a lot of large photos, frames and such. Curiosity got to me two years ago so I moved all this stuff and peaked inside the room. Loaded to the hilt with small antiques. All had been priced to sell. I went to my truck and got 6 grocery store shopping bags and filled them all up and it was at a time of a 50% off everything special. At checkout I was asked how I accessed the room as it was not open to the public. I asked why and was told it was none of my business. I asked if she would honor the sale this time and she agreed but told me point blank to never go into that room again. There is something terribly wrong with this from my standpoint. I did not argue but then did a little sleuthing, spending the next several weekends showing up at closing time, from a distance across the street and each time saw the same person loading their vehicle with items from the store. Just not right. I lodged a complaint through the Georgia home office, who sent it to the wrong store 35 miles away based on my zip code, even though I gave them the zip code of the store I was referencing and received a reply to which I had to apologize for this error. I tried again and the message was sent to another store in the opposite direction to which I had to apologize again. I finally gave up. It is a valuable organization but not all is currently well with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
