Hudson News

Had a little bit of time before my flight and went in to purchase some snacks. I approach the lady behind the counter who was working on some paperwork and could not look up to acknowledge me. I asked her where the halls tablets were and she lazily pointed behind me where they were at least two feet over someone’s normal line of sight. There would have been no way for me to be able to see them. They were the ones in the baggie and I asked her if she had the ones with the normal package. It’s not so much that they didn’t have the item, which is fine, it was the anger in her face of me even asking the question. This lady absolutely needs to get lessons in happiness from the rest of Birmingham. if you don’t like your job, quit! And if you can’t be like the rest of the nice folks in Birmingham, you need to move!

Stopped by Hudson as I was waiting to take a flight I was looking for a book to read on my trip across the country. They had the book I was looking for, so I got excited considering it’s been out for a while. I go to pay for the book and she tells me $ 17.99, plus tax! I was shocked! I quickly said no thank you and proceeded to put my credit card away. Well the woman got all upset stating that the person who rings you up gets fun dinged for voided transactions and that I should have looked at the price before asking to buy it. I mean, I am sorry but that sounds like a issue you need to take up with corporate and not with your customers! I apologized a couple times and started to walk away and she kept going on and on. That was just weird. Now I don’t know what kind of trouble she might find herself in for voiding the transaction but really it should not be that big of a deal… Get a grip! I have the right to decline the purchase if I disagree with the price– regardless of whether or not the item has been rung up!

Trinkets and mementoes, snacks and drinks, inside security. I found it a bit on the spendier side, shelling out $ 7 for a one inch square «Birmingham» fridge magnet. But it’s a captive audience and so they can charge what they want to charge.
