The “manager” at this store is indeed very rude. His empty threats about what he thinks he can do with my stuff do nothing to faze me. Even more so now that I’m considering legal action for changing things on my account without my permission. You act like a child and throw fits because I won’t sit on the phone and listen to you lie. Grow up and do better smh

This would be my second attempt with the store and the way they treat the customers says it all. Idk if it’s franchises or staffing but the lack of care, accountability, and customer service is so sub par. But considering the location I guess it’s the standard. 0/10 do not recommend. After expressing my desperation to have my delivery by the date promised I was not even offered anything for the inconvenience just an ol well.

Manager was very rude. I was 2 payments behind due to just having a baby and being out of work. On top of just having a baby, i have postpartum depression along with extreme anxiety which left me unable to answer their phone calls knowing I owed them money. Everytime they called I could barely breathe. Once I was able to finally answer their calls I told him I could pay the account in full within 4 days when I got my first check since maternity leave. He then proceeded to yell at me.. didn't want to work with me at all. Then he threatens me with calling the sheriff. I remained calm and nice the entire time while being yelled at. He wouldn't listen and surely didn't care. They can have their equipment that they SCRATCHED UP when they delivered it. I also asked originally for monthly payments being that I get paid semi monthly. If I was on those monthly payments like I asked for, I would have never even fell behind. Overpriced, ignorant, rude and down right unprofessional.

I paid for an ac online these people refused to look up the order instead wanted me to place a new order and pay for it a second time. And have now refused to cancel the online order I placed resulting in my debit card still being charged multiple times now for an item I never actually was given their staff is extremely rude and has an attitude out the gate would highly recommend people go to Aaron’s instead or a different rent a center location entirely
