Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback. I agree that our store in Columbus has great team members which make it an outstanding place to work. Selling is a part of the CSR's role and sometimes it takes a little longer for some associates to feel comfortable with the sales process. I wish you well in whatever you do in the future.
