B & G Hardware 210 Roebling Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

"The guy who runs this shop is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I go to this hardware store about once a week, they have everything! They’ve helped me pick out the right materials for all sorts of projects (hanging shelves, painting walls, staining wood, changing lightbulbs)."

"Yet another business illegally tacking on a credit card surcharge. I was surprised to see that the amount on my receipt differed from the total I'd been told before paying, and then I noticed the sign they've posted about their credit card fee and noticed the "non-cash adjustment" listed on my receipt. Please familiarize yourself with the laws about this, B&G. You can either list every item in the store with both a cash price and a credit card price or list only the (higher) credit card prices and offer customers a discount if they pay in cash. From the New York State Division of Consumer Protection: "Credit card surcharges are prohibited in New York State. Businesses are not allowed to advertise a price and add a surcharge at the point of sale when a consumer elects to pay with a credit card. Instead, businesses are required to inform consumers of the higher credit card price for a product or service by posting the higher price. Businesses are also able to offer a discount to consumers who pay in cash.""

"This is my neighborhood hardware store. Only one open after my work hours. Props to the guy on staff today — super helpful and pleasant dude. Took me the time to teach me how to use the tool I was buying and made sure I got how to work it safely. Thanks man!"

"The cashier (older woman, glasses) is nasty, ungracious, and rude. Mean to not only her fellow employee (who was knowledgeable and kind) but to customers. Rang items up wrong, got more mad at me when it was her mistake, scolded her peer for no reason, and patronized me (“Do you know how to use those?”). Can’t tell what the quality of the store is like because she ruined the experience."

"This is my go to hardware store! Every single time I go for something I always have a pleasant experience. The people who work here are so helpful and really go out of their way. The man who always helps me I believe is the owner, you can tell he really cares about helping people out vs flipping a profit. I cant even express how kind but if you need a hardware store this is the one!"
