I still made my purchase for Mothers Day. The store is very nice and the quality of their items are amazing. Well the items I could see without a supervisor. The reason for the 3 stars is I just left a few mins ago and I felt like because I was black it was ALOT of tension. I dont steal Thrifty Way of Abbeville. God, bless them and correct me if Im wrong.

Extremely convenient that they're partners with UPS as a drop off. My first time there the staff was friendly and helpful. Also their merchandise can surely get someone in trouble.
