I am absolutely flabbergasted and beyond upset! My wife and I decided to visit Five & Below in Ontario, OH, to pick up a few things, but what we encountered was utterly disgusting! We've been to this store multiple times before, never expecting to be subjected to such blatant discrimination! My wife and I are very heavily tattooed and the only ones in there who were.

I don't care to wait for your greeter to see us needing help and struggling and only then being checked out!! JUST BE AT THE REGISTER SINCE YOU ARE EMPLOYING THESE PEOPLE...

I've been part of the Five Below management team in another state and I have to say that I am completely surprised at how one of the associates at this location behaves. She was yelling "C'mon C'mon y'all have 5 minutes" and clapping her hands all the way from the registers to customers in the back of the store! Left her register and started spraying and cleaning before the store even closed! I wish I'd written her name down. The other associates seemed nice and helpful. But she...
