Closeout Club

In a word: Racket.

If I could rate this place any lower than one star, I would.
The commercials play all the time on TV and since we were in the area, we thought we’d stop by and check it out.
We arrived at the old circuit city off the 80 in Richmond. As soon as we came inside this big security guy pulled as aside like we were criminals and shouted «no ticket, no entrance!»
Ticket? The commercial never said anything about a ticket. He pointed at the ticket counter. We went over, just to be laughed at and told, «what? you didn’t know you needed a ticket to go in?» Ummm, how could we know? It wasn’t posted anywhere and it sure as hell didn’t say anything about that in the commercial. We ask how do we get the ticket and the lady says that its only $ 8…we say ok, fine… then she says PER PERSON. Ummm, ok, my husband and I are not paying $ 16 to go in there… So I said to my husband, if you want to go in, go ahead, I’ll just walk down and check out other LEGIT businesses in the same shopping center. The lady then goes, waitwaitwait it’s fine you can both go in for just $ 8, I didn’t know you’re married blahblah…
Then my husband says ok we’ll pay and though the sign says they take every form of payment, any credit card, the lady says sorry no credit or debit but there’s an ATM and the fee is only $ 2.
Forget that, we just leave.
Whilst my husband was talking to that chick I looked around just to see a big crate of perfume, a big pile of mismatched sneakers and a few tables with toys and electronics… okkkkkk
no thanks anyway! It appears you’re only selling a bunch of stuff that couldn’t be sold at a swap meet.
Totally misleading, no mention anywhere of a membership charge, though they said «oh no it is in the commercial.» No it isn’t dude.
And I really don’t want to buy fake watches, fake sneakers, fake perfumes, fake jewelry and pirated electronics/​software.
If anything in this place is actually legit and not a knockoff, I’m sure they would be «hot»
SHADY BUSINESS!
