DO NOT PATRONIZE EPIC DEALS OF LIVONIA!!!!
I do not patronize any business that disrespects me, especially my family! I am very stubborn, and do not compromise my dollars. I have boycotted several businesses, and have not stepped foot in their edifice, online, etc...for 20 years or more. Epic Deals of Livonia has been added to the list.
Today, my 9 year old son and I went to #EPICDEALSOFLIVONIA. When I walked through the door, an odor hit me, like sewage. However, I kept walking inside. Within 5 minutes, a (white) woman was talking to her daughter. The customer said "what is that smell?" I said "yes, there is a smell".
Next the same person said "I'm leaving. I don't like the constant monitoring, employees staring at us like were thieves". That should have been my signal to leave. If a white woman felt uncomfortable, as a black man what could happen?
I said it was our first visit to the store. The customer said goodbye, and I said goodbye.
My son and I are pursuing through the items. I felt eyes staring at me. I look up, an employee looking at me. I redirected my attention back to bin. The third time, I starred at the employee with "what are you looking at?" I should have left.
My son found a cell phone wireless charger. He said "dad, I'm going to the cashier". They keep certain items behind the counter with cashier.
My son and I were deciding what items to buy in our shopping cart. An employee approached us "your son is opening all the boxes". I said "the boxes with tape are not opened, and they're in our cart to be taken to unboxing area". The employee said "no boxes can be opened with tape or no tape".
We went to boxing area. A female employee was behind the counter. After a minute, she was looking at me. I said "please open the boxes". Her reply "I don't do that". I said "get someone". She started talking in a foreign language.
The same person that "reprimanded" me about the box opening came over to open the boxes.
The cashier was rude, no greeting or thank you.
We left the store, my son said "I don't want to shop again, they're were rude". I said "I agree".
THIS IS THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN: When we arrived home to pick up my wife, my son said "when I was at the unboxing area, AN EMPLOYEE said "where'd you get those sunglasses from? Did you get those from the bin?" My son said "no". THE EMPLOYEE SAID "I'M GOING TO CHECK THE SECURITY CAMERA". HIS SUNGLASSES WERE HANGING FROM HIS SHIRT COLLAR LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON THAT'S INSIDE A BUILDING.
YOU DO NOT TALK TO OR INTIMIDATE A CHILD, AND ACCUSE ANY PERSON OF THEFT!
IT WAS ONLY THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD THAT MY SON TOLD MY WIFE AFTER WE LEFT THE STORE. THE AUDACITY, UNMITIGATED GALL to target and accuse my 9 year son of theft!!!
MY MOTHER PURCHASED THE SUNGLASSES FOR HER GRANDSON WITH HER EARNED INCOME. SHE GAVE THEM TO HIM YESTERDAY.
The employees are rude and disrespectful!!
DO NOT PATRONIZE EPIC DEALS OF LIVONIA, ESPECIALLY WITH BLACK...
Read moreThe owner is very rude and unprofessional (ARROGANT). I went to the counter to test an item i wanted to purchase. Before i was able to see if it worked, the owner had unplugged. Also, another customer informed me when she went to the counter...the owner asked her where she work and told her she has money. I will never shop here again. He's rude and arrogant. I rather shop at Wild Bins in westland, the atmosphere was definitely pleasant unlike this place.
As you see from the owner response (RUDE AND ARROGANT). Hes lying about what really happened. Hes the one who told his employee to plug up the item and then he returned to the counter because he was to impatient and rude. Also, the other customer was offended byhis comment (she didnt think his comment was funny at all). THiS SO CALLED BUSINESS OWNER IS A JERK AS YOU CAN READ BY HIS UNPROFESSIONAL II-WRITTEN...
Read moreThis place has nothing but junk. The majority of the boxes are unopened, and they do not want you to open them to see what’s inside. Who has time to have them open closed boxes. Most of the descent products have cords missing, or something missing. These products are Amazon rejects. They removed a product from a box for me, and the item was clearly throw in the trash condition, it was FILTHY, and most of the parts were missing. I found an item to purchase, and the guy unplugged the item quickly. All he wanted me to see if there was a light working. I have been to other places before but this is by far the worse. The items that are nice that they are getting cheaper, they are selling them at regular store prices. Once you realize how much work you have to go through to find something, I guarantee you will walk out. This place is...
