"Friendly people at both locations I've been to. They seem to be happy to be at work and not just putting in the hours. Giving me a moving truck to use for free was quite a bonus and much appreciated. It allowed me to move all my items in one trip and not take all day. "

"The associates at the store I am at are great. Amanada who was promoted is wonderful as well as the store manager. I would like to see Uncle Bob's spend the money to repair the drinking fountain and the unit I moved out of had a loose ceiling tile. I am still in another unit at the same location and it is in perfect condition."
