99 Cents Only Stores, Houston TX

This store has everything you can possibly think of. Like an Amazon store where things are a dollar or 3.99 and most 5.99. Definitely going back for all things and all celebrations.

Showed up 30 minutes before they close and a very rude woman kicked me out, acting like she hates her life because she works at the 99¢ store. It’s not like it’s a restaurant where it matters if I’m they’re close to closing. Apparently there have been multiple people that have had the same problem. I wonder if it’s the same woman on the night shift causing the problem?

I walked in to buy a face shield. I was greeted (by the rudest woman with short curly hair dyed red) with "Excuse me, you better getva mask on or get out! " No hint of kindness or grace. She would not even look me in the eye. I said "that is what I am here for I need to buy a face shield. " She proceeds rudely with "Not without a mask you aren't! Get one from the greeter.and go to checkout aisle 2"
The greeter kindly handed me a mask. I held it over my face (nose and mouth) as I am extremely allergic to masks and any covering over my face causes an autoimmune response to my skin and I get EXTREMELY itchy and rashy. I asked if they had face shields before I proceeded further into the store. That same rude triggered woman screams at me "I told you Aisle 2! " I said yes thank you even though she still didnt actually clarify my question. I proceeded to aisle 2 and grabbed my shield and waited to be checked out. She stalked me over at aisle 2 and said "excuse ma'am get that all the way on otherwise what's the point! " I tried to start explaining that I had a medical condition and that I couldn't wear it, but all I could get out was "I'm sorry I can't wear a mask on my skin because. " when she cut me off and said "Mmm mmm you aint getting service here no way! " meanwhile she never ever looks me in my eye. I said " I wish you would care enough about my health to let me speak" and she cut me off again and said blatantly "I don't! I don't care about your health, I care about store policy, no service mmm mmmm. "
I needed the shield because the zone sports complex down the road was just as bad and I needed to get a face shield so I coukd watch my son play basketball. So I put the mask on and to say that was the most uncomfortable and belittling moment for me is an understatement. The red head was obviously disappointed in my compliance huffed and walked away and told the other girl to "deal with me". The woman who checked me out was very kind and I could tell she felt bad for the way I was treated. If I didnt "need" that stupid shield I would have turned right around and walked right out and took my business elsewhere. Also, I understand individual stores can have "policy" but as a public place of business with no active mask mandate, I deserved to be spoken to with respect, most other places in the past IF they had a problem KINDLY asked me if I needed a mask or that it was their policy and I was given a chance to ask if they honor medical exemptions and then I could choose to continue shopping or go elsewhere without feeling like I was being attacked. For background, I am from far north where people walk around and breath fresh air if they choose too and mask wearers and non mask wearers respect each others decision on what the feel is best for them. Masks are nearly non existant where I am from and I honestly didnt even think about it. I was caught off guard. I am absolutely appalled at the way I was treated and the way I was spoken to. That woman was triggered from the moment she saw my smiling face and that is sad. I couldnt catch her name but I wouldnt be surprised if she is a manager or supervisor the way she followed me and policed me. I will be calling HQ and reporting the behavior of this woman. Regardless of my "mask" issues I was non combatitive and I was treated like I was garbage for choosing fresh air over an allergic rash, which by the way 3 hours later is present on my face at the points of contact from the mask!

This store is always nice and stocked and clean and organized. Cashiers are always fast and polite and deal with difficult people in a professional manner. Kudos

A small chain grocery store.
They carry can goods, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen uncook meats and processed meats, beer, wines, sofe drinks, energy drinks, candy, chips, toilet paper, paper towels, pots and pans, bath soaps, first aid items, dog and cat food. They have some gardening and auto supplies, electronic items, such as ear buds, t.v antennas, It's a nice inexpensive place to shop. The stores are always clean and neatly organized. The employees are friendly and courteous with the exception of some of the clerks that have been hired on at the Greenspoint location. They need to make some serious changes in that store!

Best one yet. If you don't have a lot or you do and like deals this is your go to. I buy meats at the grocery store and a lot of the rest here. Great for gifts too.

The cashiers are all helpful and patient. I like that they are visibly using Covid-19 safety standards. I also like the fact that they have special hours for senior citizens and individuals that may have health issues to shop at certain times of the day.
Plus the have some cool stuff and on occasion ORGANIC veggies and fruit.

My least favorite of the 99 cent only stores. It seems they don't have the same merchandise as all the other one I shop at. Still can't beat their deals/prices though!

Fast and easy in and out cashiers available if the paying lines get longer than 3 customers they immediately open another to clear the lines.
A big thanks! Keep up the great experience
