S & A Stores

Paradise store

Nice mix variety of non branded goods. Cheap prices compared to similar stores.

Prices are nice but very strange workers are here. Have not been to one of these stories in years and quickly remembered why. When you go inside they ask people to give up their personal belongings and bags as a preventative from shoplifting.

Which is ridiculous when they can clearly just stop being cheap and invest in security guards for the store and more cameras. What happens if something happens to my personal belongings while in their pocession? Will they pay for it?

I went in the store and out in less than 5 mins just to buy some warm socks for the cold weather. After my purchase I asked the cashier if she knew where there was any long johns located, she gave me a vague answer that didnt help much. And asked if i wanted to put the socks in one of the bags I already had. After agreeing to she told me to next time leave my bags to the person in front and told me she doesnt know how they let me in "with all those bags"(I only had two bags).

As I am leaving this store I see the guy at the front go to the same cashier I was soeaking to and asked her in Hindi if I had purchased anything but he didnt know I heard what he asked.

Dont plan to visit this store again. They are backwards in their methods. They do these things in these poor neighborhoods because they expect poor minorities to not say anything about it..

They would not be holding personal belongings of richer customers and accusing them of theft. This store has been doing this for far too many years and needs to stop
