I'm giving this two stars only because the clerk was really nice. I received a coupon for a 3 hour discount on Torani syrup, but when I went in (after driving 25 miles one way), the manager Chris would not honor the coupon. Altho I had gotten it that morning in my email (as did the clerk who was helping me), he would not honor it. I explained that I had driven in specifically for that reason and had other things that I wanted to buy. He response, "Well, that's yesterday's ad." The clerk also told him that she had gotten hers that morning also. "So? Its not my problem." Well, I walked out fuming because that was the crappiest customer service ever, especially during the holiday season. I'm not sure where Chris got his training from, but obviously it wasn't in Customer service. I know it wasn't a bunch of money for Cost Plus, but I had at least $100 worth of stuff that I just had them put back. I also spend a lot there after Christmas and refused to go back. I know this won't bust them, not even make a dent, but it really ticked me off. \t\n ...read more

If you are considering doing business with these folks, don't. In our experience, they are incompetent, uncaring, and even unethical. We would give them a negative star, if possible. ...read more

I had the misfortune of hiring San Luis Auto Glass to remove and put back the front and rear glass of my car while it was being painted. Upon putting the glass back in, San Luis Auto Glass chipped and scratched the brand new paint. Additionally, they got the black, sticky glue used to secure the glass all over the interior of the car. It was on the back seats, the front seats, the floor, and the headliner... and it permanently stained my original vinyl seats (it's a classic car undergoing full restoration). I offered to pay for the materials used, which I thought was fair, but the owner wouldn't even accept that. He made every excuse in the world why none of the damage was their fault and now I'm stuck with having to pay someone else to fix their work. And it's going to cost me more than I paid them in the first place, just to have it fixed! Bottom line, they did a terrible job, never owned up to it, and completely wasted my time and money. You could save yourself an empty wallet and ...read more
