Gaslite Liquors
5643 Rivers Ave, North Charleston, SC 29406I will say when stopping by this fine establishment I was shocked to do some digging after the fact that the man who helped pick me out some cheap bottom dollar booze was none other then a sexual offender. I was astonished as my car was outside WHERE MY CHILDREN sit, god forbid they were with me when daddy was getting his magic juice. I shall not return I also read in another review of tweakers getting hit with bottles outside the store and random celebs entering the premise? What is this joke.

Barthold Tire Company
506 W Broadway St, Gainesville, TX 76240I had a great experience here when I went to have my car checked over before a long road trip. They assured me my car was ready to go and only had one recommendation of new brake pads on the rear. (Around $100 fix.) I fully expected it might need a full brake job on the rear axle and was prepared for that. However, they were very upfront about what they really believed my car needed. It did make the 2000 mile journey with zero issues. They treated me just like all of the other customers without talking down because I'm a woman. They had quick and quality service, which also left all the other customers reasonably happy, too! 100% recommend and would return for further service.

The pool closes prematurely, encounters with the front desk staff were unpleasant, and breakfast was disrupted twice to accommodate others. To top it off, during check-out, there was an embarrassing situation where the front desk claimed payment was due for the next day, despite already settling the bill and having a receipt. The overall experience at the hotel was overshadowed by subpar service and unhelpful staff.

They had hot tea available, and it was my favorite- Hibiscus which is not common in a lounge type space. It was a very rainy night with eventual flash flood warnings, but folks came out. Food is available including vegan wings. They were surprisingly delicious. Our server, Dasia, was very, very accommodating. My cocktail was on point. Support this BOB. They earned the support. Oliver is an OUTSTANDING host and was very supportive in getting us into the venue out of the rain. He was genuinely nice and sooooo pleasant.

According to Herrman, this expansion capitalizes on TJX's flexible "off-price" business model and broad customer appeal. "We are convinced that significant market share opportunities remain...over the long term," he stated. "We see the potential to further expand our store footprint by at least another 1,300-plus with our current retail banners in our existing countries."
Shopping Gets Weird but Wonderful with Walmart Realm
Walmart just launched Realm, its new 3D online shopping platform. To help you visualize what that means, imagine a virtual mall packed with bright colors, wacky landscapes, and cartoon avatars wandering around. Realm lets you browse "digital doubles" of real Walmart products by navigating through several make-believe worlds. "We believe this is the future of commerce," said Justin Breton, who leads brand experiences at Walmart. "It won't replace our website or app, but will complement them."
