"They get a five-star rating the service is excellent. They're very helpful they did everything I was in a big barn and needing a phone and they got me one and an excellent price and excellent service I would definitely get my next phone there and the one after that."

"Boost is the best company ever. They are so helpful so reasonable. And they are incredibly incredibly nice people ever. They are the best company to get hands down do not go to anyone else,but boost Mobile. Boost Mobile help me out a lot they help me switch from the worst company I was with cricket. He helped me switch to boost in a matter of minutes. I would highly recommend going to boost if anyone is looking for the best service ever boost got your back no matter what!!!!!"

"As dysfunctional as the cesspool of hempstead texas is, this store gets a C. It's old. It's too expensive, the employees are way underpaid making below the minimum cost of living and are probably overworked as well. The owners must be stuck in the year 1982 because that's the vibe I get when I walk through the fancy automatic sliding doors. It takes me back in time. The aroma of old market smell hits you and you're reminded by your bad childhood. The wine selection is basic. Could do better. Could renovate the dump as well. I'm usually met with some lard hillbilly or spanish lady with 13 screaming kids at the basket coral where I lose all my dignity and self worth and start shoving the wobbly wheel cart thoughout the store. The veggies have no appeal. There's not a whole lot to chose from and the dairy area smells like a nasty yeast infection from a unhygienic thunder beasts. The music played is awful. The atmosphere is extremely depressing. I. Truly surprised however that they don't lock up the steaks. ( Not that there are any good tomahawk steaks or porter house to choose from.) They also do not have a deli or bakery. You could clean that old building with industrial strength cleaner twelve times and THAT smell still lingers. It just feels like the owners are very greedy and do not care about their employees or ever renovating the place. There's always some crabby disgruntled old lady running the courtesy booth who gets an F at customer service. The only decent employee I fully trust and respect is Lindsey. She's always kind caring smiling and helpful. I hope to God y'all are paying her atleast $26 an HR. Because that's the amt of hourly pay it takes to afford rent and be able to rent the crummiest apartments at $900 a month. They ask u make three times that to qualify. I'm gonna go back to shopping at Kroger and avoiding that place ain't because I know all the employees deserve so much more than they are paid. There's like no signs of a public bathroom so if I ever have to go, the coke isle shall suffice as my potty area. Also like ten years ago they kicked me out for bringing a cat I found inside the store. Another compliant I have is the yogurt selection is awful. Blue bell ice cream has too much space that could be used for new Orleans ice cream co ice cream flavors that are WAY better and cheaper. Also there's no app to order online with as well. The 1980s sucked. Please stop being a greedy business owner and pay better asap. Or when I get my settlement, and open my own business I am going to take a couple of your employees and pay them a liveable wage, give them health insurance that's worth a f and give quarterly bonuses and have a modern hi tech store and resturaunt. I will pay lindsey n the guy cashier( I forgot his name ) a minimum of $28 an HR. U too can afford it. Also for safety reasons please light the parking lot at night better. Those stupid cops across the street cannot be everywhere to save people from your negligence. I pay with real money too btw not food stamps. So please stop price gouging just because we're in the ghetto. Be a good boss/ owner. Offer employees raises too. Well back to Kroger I go, the rona is over with and that's about the only positive thing I have experienced with arlans. Pa that customer who owns this bicycle, is a very nice man."

"Called to confirm propane availability and was told it was. Drove to Arlans, shopped & knowingly paid more to support the "little guy" vs Kroger in Fairfield that is equal distance from my home, maybe closer, only to find out no cylinders available. Unfortunately they have permanently lost my business. Note: Go to Loves, they are the same price."

"We can find a lot of cheap things but good quality here. However they need to organized more so customers can find what they need more easily!"
