Amazing--they didn't want to pay someone to actually work??? I'm sad our Alco is closing--I have to drive to the next town for a Walmart and our town has NO other stores with variety. While our Alco sure didn't have fabric (too new) you could buy needles, scissors, etc and nice home décor stuff. But they took out all the kids clothes and stuck in cheap furniture--like we all go out and buy new furniture all the time! Our local manager said that while they are closing, they will continue to get new stuff until the warehouse is empty. So not sure how long that will take.
