If there were a -0 that would be too good for the kings hwy store location and a female worker/mgr? Which I don't want to name. I have long posted my dealings with this store and none have been good. Latest fiasco: I gave them a 3rd chance, 1st mistake! Went on their site, found a cheap set of furniture I liked. I paid a 10$ fee and waited to hear. I called, the girl tried to charge more and said a very derogatory statement to me... "We know how your are when u don't get your own way". So I told her, cancel the order immediately! Few days later I'm getting threats of a late payment and a threat to return my furniture. I HAVE NO FURNITURE!!! just go to another RAC!!
