Thank You for the rating of 4 stars! Communication is very important to the success of a store and the customer experience. Last year Gwinnett finished with an 80.3 recommending Micro Center which is outstanding not only at Micro Center but for any retailer. Ytd this year Gwinnett is at 80.9, keeping up where they left off. I realize at times communication can be better for all levels of the company, and would welcome a call to discuss your challenges. All the best, Greg Nicolai Regional HR Manager 513-344-8018

We welcome your feedback about the name capture. If you make your greeting to all check-out customers friendly and professional, you should have no issues with name capture. Please partner with your supervisor if you are having any issues. I also agree our discount is really good. Thanks for sharing your experience. Sincerely Leslie Whitley, Regional HR.
