Gabe's — Local services in Lexington

I, like most people, am forced to do the majority of my shopping at Walmart. I try to support other businesses so I stopped in Gabe’s one day. It seems that Walmart is always full of people but’s Gabe’s had very few people in there. I didn’t find what I was looking for in Gabe’s but I did see a clothing item that I needed. It didn’t have a price on it but it was the only one of its size so I took it to the register to purchase. I was in line behind a couple of people. After the couple in front of me went to a register, I waited to be called to the next free register. A register freed up but the lady working the register didn’t call me as next. In fact, she didn’t even look at me. She just gazed across the store for a while. Finally, she mumbled something which I assumed was her way of calling me to the register. I don’t know what her name is. Her name tag said “Cautious.” She saw that there was no price tag on my item so she asked me if there were some of that garment with a tag. I told her that there was one of a different size that had a price tag. She asked if I would go get it and I told her “sure.” When I got back to the register, she had put my garment in a petroleum plastic bag. I care about others so I limit my use of petroleum plastic as much as I can. So I took the garment out of the bag and put the bag back at the bag rack so that she could use it with someone else and that there would be one less petroleum product going into a landfill. Surprisingly, Cautious took the bag I put back, wadded it up in a little ball, and threw it in the trash can. I asked her if she put the bag in the trash. She mumbled something and I explained to her that I put the bag back for her to use with someone else and that I wanted one less bag going to a landfill. She ignored me and stood there gazing at the ceiling as I paid. I finished paying and asked, “Are you going to leave that bag in the trash can.” She started leaning across the counter writhing and gazing at the ceiling again acting as if she were doing horse. Then, she actually said that putting something in that bag would be too difficult for her. With her apathetic attitude, she wanted to make sure that I knew that she didn’t care about my concerns and that, come hell or high waters, she was not going to reuse that bag. Now I know why Gabe’s was empty of people. If this is the kind of people Gabe’s hires, then I won’t be doing any business with them. I guess this is why everybody winds up...

Everytime I go in gabes I don't leave until I've spent hundreds of hard earned dollars but I went in on black Friday and spent 225 but the lady who checked us out was completely disrespectful and I'm debating if I'll ever go back!!!! I'm so emotional about this every place I go in here seems to have the worst employees ever here in lexington nc. I honestly love the store but I can't believe management let's these rude employees by with I remember a time when common respect and manners existed!!!! I'm very disappointed with my last experience at gabes!!! And to beat it all my neice with me and her experience was as bad...

The employees are nice and helpful, but the store looks like a tornado went through there. It is a mess! You have a lot of clothes in the store, but you can not look through them because the racks are overcrowded. VERY OVER CROWDED! The front of the store is cleaner but crowded. The back of the store has stuff all out of place. You need to bring in extra help to clean the store, so people will want to shop there. It is starting to look like a Dollar General. You don't want it to go there, or it will be out of business quickly. I do like your items in the store and prices. I bought this...
