I went into the store today (12/19) around noon to purchase a pair of headphones which you have to go to the checkout line to get. There were a couple of people ahead of me which I didn't think it would take that long. However, the person working announced to everyone in the line (around 6 others at this point) that they were the only person working the checkout area and doing the customer service duties as well. Although, there were several other employees walking around none were trying to help with the line. Some of them appeared busy pulling orders but others were not. One was talking on a mobile phone and another had headphones in and supposedly "didn't hear" the requests for help. The worker that was doing everything mentioned that this is a regular occurrence. Once I got to the counter, after waiting 15 minutes behind the two in front of me and double checking the stock online, the worker had to check the item stock on the floor themselves only to tell me it was out of stock. Not sure why there is only worker at checkout during the holiday season, but please do better.

Hello, Tiana,
Thank you for the review. I can certainly understand your concern with the check out process and only have one employee checking out customers. That is not ideal.
