Pay & Save ACE Hardware — Local services in Poteet

This store is reasonably priced for a store that's located 20 miles from their competition.

The issues that I have with this store is how dirty it is. It definitely needs to be cleaned and updated...it's an easy fix. The next issue I have is with the employees...still an easy fix.

I had taken my son and grandson to this store to buy several items from the hardware department (remember, it's 20 miles to their nearest competition as I had previously mentioned) only to be followed by a young man as if I was a thief trying to steal 5 pounds of screws, a gallon of Arizona green tea and 25 dollars of paint thinner for a garage we've been building.

I dress nice, I'm clean, I smell great...I'm 58 years old, my son is 30 and my grandson is 8 years old.

I have shopped at this store previously but I can assure you that unless it's an emergency situation I will not be going back. I refuse to support any business that treats customers so poorly. The employee stared at the three of us to purposely make us uncomfortable.

I was buying screws by the pound. I had to put them into a bag by hand in order to purchase them. They tend to be mixed in with other screws that were improperly shelved and I took the time to be sure of what I was purchasing...I'm guessing they thought a person might try to steal a professional football sized amount of construction screws? The economy is bad but I couldn't imagine a person going to a hardware store to steal construction screws.

As I have stated...I wouldn't ever steal anything from anyone and I definitely won't ever buy anything from this...

Cross my Heart, this grocery store is something else. You'd think it was like every little honky tonky bar place around these parts, but you'd be dead wrong. For clarification, I'm on a road trip to be in Amarillo by morning. All I see in my vision is the clear blue sky, when out of the corner of my eye, I see this quaint small town store, and I'm beginning to get low on snacks on this journey. Now usually I'm a picky person, I hate everything most of the time, so I got out of the chair of my car and entered the glowing banana, grape and tomato store to see what's in store for me. Passing the aisles I saw many funny character's such as construction workers, a fireman, and just random customers looking to fill their pantries such as I. What got me the most is that this small country store truly did meet my expectations, playing the classics such as "I Just want to Dance With You" and "All My Ex's Live In Texas" by the classical country star everyone knows. As I checked out, the cashier, Cheyenne, gave me a little paper and told me to write this down. We had discussed a museum of Troubadours. She then proceeded to tell me all the specifics about it, what a nice gal. Off I went to finish my trip after that. Driving down the road taking my time one night at a time. Without further...

Prices are high at these grocery stores on most items outside of produce & some dairy. I can't speak for other locations on the conditions of their Produce, but Poteets location you have to make sure you inspect your fruits & veggies due to mold & insects being found on numerous occasions upon my shopping there. Definitely worth the trips to a Walmart, HEB or even a Sam's club if you're looking to do some heavy grocery shopping. If you don't mind paying double or at times even triple for certain items then you probably won't mind going to a Lowe's...
