What kind of 1970's system does a store have that you can't return anything without a receipt. Can't even use the card that was purchased the item to look it up. I’m extremely disappointed with Gabe’s return policy and the way the black female store manager was unwilling to do anything but tell me if there isn't a receipt then the product can't be put back into inventory. If you don’t have a receipt or aren’t part of their rewards program, they won’t even offer a merchandise credit — even if the item is brand new with tags, which mine was.

I was very impressed with just how neatly this location is neatly organized, clean and employees are courteous and professional too. Old Time Pottery literally wasn't cutting it. They never really had enough business until the very end. I'm excited that Gabe's decided to open this location so much closer to home. I hope they will stick around for years. If you haven't checked them out yet then I invite you to please do so. There are lots of awesome deals everyday and it's a much bigger...
