Report
Staff was very rude, very short. Made me wait even though no one else was there, and even went so far as to watch and laugh while I was attempting to fold a tarp in the wind. Forklift operator ran over and damaged one of my chains because he was impatient. Id hate to see how these people actually treat the items in their warehouse.
