GEERS:
What happen to Osage merchant’s attitudes? a few years ago it seemed liked this town was moving forward, after a shopping visit/afternoon yesterday, I’ll pass on this town. Everywhere we went we got snotty attitudes.
They build a rec center with an auditorium, display it in the media to North Iowa, so proud, and then the auditorium is used for high school events 99% of the time(could of used the high school gym and saved a lot of money). Manufacturing in town started strong but fizzled out. Is it the town,chamber and business boards that are the problem?
Not impressed at all. I think Charles City stole their thunder with great town support.
They had so much promise, but old ideas crept back in and the old Osage is back.
Dose anyone know if China Buffet closed ?
Close the Mosques! Bomb the hell out of them. Go France!
REVIEW: WalMart
★ ★ ★ out of 5
Ordered a new iPod online through Walmart.com. Great deal, $100 off. Said it would be ready for pick-up Friday and to wait for confirmation.
However, no confirmation ever came. Went out there Friday anyway to check on it. Although the staff was friendly, the guy at the pick-up counter could not type very well. Had to ring a button before an employee finally appeared. He had no clue about my items (iPod and heavy-duty case). He finally found my iPod in a box right behind him. I had to ask about the case, which he then found. Kind of exasperating. Picked up a couple other items to buy and had to go through the express check-out line. Slow. Training a new employee, who was very friendly. Still, the store was kind of dark and its processes are not real good. I’ll give a generous 3 stars but I avoid this place mostly.
