Discount 30% but almost everything is junk , products are items others can’t sell so they buy it and sell it.Most food is short dated .
Cons
Overworked, owner Marc Perlman is delusional. As an assistant store manager I worked freight 10 hours a day . If not working freight ringing at register.Company Moto we get more done with less. Work you to death . Holidays you work 6 /10 hour days . Only get 30 minute lunch. Require you to punch as a salary manager to micromanage .Turn over 100+%. Only associates who stay are worthless and lazy.
