Kate W.'s Profile

Once again, the PetSmart website gave me inexplicably hard to print coupons so the cashier did not want to accept it (don't worry, the same thing happens in the Alhambra store). A manager was called and I am sorry I can't remember his name because he tried so hard to help me navigate my email (via my smart phone) to figure out the coupon situation and then ended up crediting me anyway. And he certainly didn't have to do that since it is not at all his fault that the website is so lame. Every PS store I have been to has been open and (dog) friendly. Love coming here.

The cashiers here are the slowest on record, no matter what time of day or night. I've never gotten out of there in less than 20 minutes. It is mind bogglingly aggravating.

ALSO, there is one nice person working at the pharmacy but the one actual pharmacist I dealt with? Here's that story: I received my membership benefit cholesterol/glucose screening, and was told to give the pharmacy my name and number for results after several minutes of confusion. They never called me as promised. I went back to the store and was again told (rudely) that I needed to give my name/number. Gave it again. On my way home 1/2 hr later, I got a vmail saying they had results. Called back & was told they didn't have it, but before I could get mad again they decided they did have results after all and said I could pick up paperwork anytime. So wait, the results were there the whole time but they couldn't be bothered to check? Each time I deal with the pharmacy, aside from the cheerful (but oh so slow) lady, I feel like I am interrupting their busy day and they have always been irritated with any question I have. I am very glad to have my "real" pharmacy with Pavillions Burbank. They are busy too but are more likely to treat me like a human being.

I am a huge fan of Arclight, especially the one in Hollywood as you are more likely to hob with real cinematics. But if you want to spend a little extra than even Arclight, Gold Cinema is like first class airline seating with your own steward. The lounge is nice. A little pricey but everything is so low key and comfy - you can dress down or dress up and oh yeah, there is a movie to watch too. I would suggest they find better selections, maybe some more art films to fit the atmosphere, but eventually you will find something to watch. Nice to splurge on every once in a while.

I haven't been here in a while so I'm only going to review the burgers. They are awesome and worth coming here. The swinging saloon doors and sawdust are atmospheric, but other than that, it's the dank dive bar you'd expect.

I come to this one since I used to live nearby and the one in Glendale is smaller and more crowded. This one is also kind of crowded, but WORTH THE WAIT. The food is amazing and I can always get my cuban sandwich fix satisfied here. And then some.

I've been to lots of farmer's markets, all over California and beyond, and this one is my favorite so far. It's pretty big for such a tight community. And everyone is open and friendly and, if you are resident anyway, you will invariably run into someone you know. The hub of Pleasantville. And who doesn't want to support local farmers? Lunch items are the bomb, too.

For such a tiny library, they have a lot of material. And the staff is (usually) super sweet. Depends on the day and the shift. The little bookstore upstairs is sweet and they are always super nice. I always feel warmly welcomed here.

The cakes are OK. My old work ordered lots of them so I've had several samples over the years and none of them were all that memorable. Wanted to give them the benefit of a doubt, however, and walked in one night to hear an employee saying, "Well go ahead and give us a bad YELP review, then." Laughing, like they are so far above all that. And they probably are. But then why mention it at all? It would still be nice to feel welcomed in the store. The actual manager we talked to about a specific cake was very nice and accommodating, so props for that. I wouldn't drive out of your way to come here, however.

I'm sorry people had bad experiences here. I had a great time. My friends and were treated like royalty, even though part of the party was late. When I told the hostess I had to leave early, she was absolutely accommodating. Sandwiches and tea were good, service pretty good and atmosphere very nice. I have no complaints and will come here again, especially since I didn't get to spend enough time to really savor the day. Loved what I saw though!

Can't really add much of a different review, but Honey (my Hyundai, get it?) and I have been coming here for a couple of years now and have never been steered wrong yet. Heh. Great bunch of guys (and gal). They know their stuff and are super professional. Don't think they do American cars though, sorry.
