You do not have pros at the Fairfield, CA location. Associates walk away and hide when they see someone is approaching to ask a question, something that has happened to me on many occasions. They talk on their phones in a different language (Philippine) only one hand is free, and 6-8 people are in line! Disengaged with the workplace and customers.
Workers cannot clearly communicate in English and its very annoying repeating one's self two or three times, even then you have to walk away before you say something. In addition, another branch in Richmond, CA, is slightly better but I purchased a HART weed trimmer; used and retaped for sale. On sale. I asked the checker if I could inspect the boxed item and was denied. Another lady, I assume the assistant manager, told me the same thing. I asked her to check it for me.

She then held on to the box, and with her back to me, said, in a not-so-nice tone), "Here, take a look". I pulled the long, tubular tool out to check for any fractures or other defects.

I tried to call the store several times between 3:00-4 pm, but no one answered. There were two rings and then the hang up tone. This was the second part of my experience. The first occurred two days prior, when I purchased an identical unit, by HART, from a nearby 8 miles) Walmart a week earlier. On that occasion, all the parts were present and the unit was on sale, new & sealed. After assembly, I tested the unit briefly in my garage, to make sure it worked. I used the enclosed battery which had some juice it and it worked ok. The charger and battery were secured by cardboard at the bottom of the 4 ft-long box, almost undetectable. The next day I tried to trim the grass, and about 5 minutes into it, The unit began smoking and the motor seized.
