Michael is a pro. He help rebuild my 1971 Fender Twin with professionalism and technical expertise. I always felt confident I could trust his advice. He treated my aged Amp like a vet would treat a puppy. He gave me advice to get my 1968 Rickenbacker 330 12 back in the game.
My hunt for a tech comes to an end after meeting Mike. The combination of his expertise, experience, and his prices will have me coming back for more work. And he’s a cool and nice guy to top it all off. All in all, great experience, rewired my guitar and did a set up with a quick turnaround!

The owner, Jon, is a top-notch guy. Pleasant to interact with, honest, hard-working and fair. This store has lots to see!
My time at trader jon’s was great!! The owner Jon is a great hard working man that help’s out in anyway possible . My friend’s and I haven’t had one bad experience going there. Everyone is super nice and always has a positive attitude. Also Trader Jon’s always has AWESOME DEALS!!
Updated.
nice, well organized, clean place… staff was pleasant and up front.
What a rip off won’t even try to work with you on prices. I was trying to get a bundle deal and he was going off of the internet and charging me high prices for each item. $8 to $40 a game. Trying to tell me $65 for 5 gameboy games. It’s a rip off. I got a better deal at a pawn shop 9 games for $45
Way over priced on almost everything I looked at a Sony stero and bought a new one the same thing for 20$ more then his used price
10 dollar minimum with debit.
Owner is very pushy trying to sell you things. After repeatedly telling him “no thanks” he just kept on bullying.
After purchasing my strings, and the very moment the door began to close behind me I heard the owner verbally insult me behind my back.
It was last month. Don’t remember what exactly was said.
Avoid shop owner.
But, despite my bad experience they do have a decent selection of guitar strings.

Enjoyed my visit. Gus is very polite, knowledgeable, and takes pride in his job. Great job, Gus and staff.
The whole team helped me and they did a good job
Gus had good customer service
they were fair and honest. They treated us kindly and presented a professional attitude.
They’re actually pretty good over there. And they have good service. I know it helped me a few times
Not a very good place to sell or buy certain items. They are high in price for guitars that are not even worth as much money as they are selling them for. They do not pay top money for your items.
If you have hours posted on your website and Google make sure they are correct. Business 101
Bought a tablet from there and your can’t even play anything on it. Went to return it 3 days later and you do t get your protection plan back. I got ripped off $17 from here be careful.
7. Redbox
Address: 305 W Rollins Rd, Round Lake Beach, IL 60073 , Round Lake Beach , Illinois , United States
They have all the new releases every time I go there. It’s the best one in the area. There are 2 machines there so you have the best chance of getting the DVD’s you want. Go here NO wait don’t go here because then I might not get mine. HA-HA-HA
Redbox is a great service. It makes it so you can have the physical disc for movies or games without the movie store rental price. Also, they dont charge monthly whether you are using the service or not like Netflix.
However, they are normaly understocked and have little to offer in the way of movies when you get into the holiday seasons…
Clean store with great service, check out is not bad in waiting, most of the staff are friendly.
Very nice employees, everything I needed was in stock
Excellent food, clothes
Always out of things….
Store was a mess but they are making changes looks like better selection
Needs more variety
Everything I need & want is NEVER in stock. Sucks because this is the closest Walmart to me coming from the city.
As a former employee at Wal-Mart, I know there are scanners that can be used to look up an item. I was looking for a movie for several minutes including in the $5.00 bins and couldn’t find it. I politely asked a lady who worked in department, who was just talking small talk to a co worker, if she can please look the movie up for me. She said “if we have it, it will be in the bins.” I mentioned I have been looking for several minutes, but couldn’t find it, and once again asked if she could look it up for me. She said rudely, “it’ll be in the bins”.
A device was right in the counter about 10 feet away.
Employees of Wal-Mart now get paid $11-$13 an hour, do your job!
If you’re working in customer service, you should be approachable, and helpful to customers, who are the reason you have a job.
This is exactly why online stores, like Amazon, are eventually going to put stores out of business. No one wants to go out and be treated bad by an employee of a corporation.
This staff is so amazing, so kind! They remember your name and the consistency of your drink is spot on, every single time! I love this store! Michael is the kindest!!!
Quick n easy ordering…..fast service….in n out
I enjoyed a Cheese Danish. The Baristas are friendly + attentive.
Drive thru. Moves fairly quickly.
Its a Starbucks. 😉
Muy bueno
At least once a week my drink is made wrong. Most of the time the drive thru line moves quickly but occasionally I’ve sat there 10-15 minutes.
Girl at the register who wears colorful eyeshadow and dramatic lashes seemed to have a problem with my sister (who has a learning disability) showing her a picture of her order. Telling her to “read it” and that she should “learn how to read it”. I don’t think that was respectful AT ALL. If she has a problem with taking orders maybe she should make the drinks. Every time my family and I come in she always seems to have an attitude and is just lazy over all and doesn’t try and doesn’t have good customer service. It’s always a problem when she’s the one taking our order. Reading something or looking off of a picture with the name of the order on there isn’t hard. I used to do this as a cashier for people who couldn’t speak English, or had disabilities, or simply just thought it was easier to show a picture or give me a note. It’s way easier than trying to figure out what the person is trying to say and all my sister was doing was making it easier on both of them so I don’t see the problem. My sister has gone to the Starbucks on hainsville and they are very understanding and read it off and type into the screen within seconds. She just decided that she wanted to be rude per usual. Which shouldn’t be acceptable.
very unprofessional and rude employees, they give you actitud specially the old lady.

Ramon and Gabriel helped me with the phone l tried to buy for my husband. I hope with time my husband will learn to use it. Thank you Ramon and Gabriel.
Amables y con buena disposición para atender y cubrir las necesidades del cliente… Hablan español.
I have been here to buy\imply help is great
Good service
Helped me with phone issues.
The employees have no knowledge of technical service.
Don’t bother switching to ATT and don’t bother with this store. This store has caused more headaches with my account.
I had a lady helping me who was not too bad. But she didn’t really know too much yet I think she was new the store had a lot of people so I still couldn’t get the proper help on taking care of my bill
Always easy to find what you want and the people who work there are nice whenever i go in
Shout out to the nice gentleman that helped me found my phone in the shopping carts Thank you so much!!
Great Place to shop clean and organized
Only picked up online groceries. They do all the work with courtesy & professional attitudes.
Clean, nice selection, check out can be slow, not always, but where isn’t that an issue around here? Way better produce then Wally world, and better staff, and better quality. Love that it’s open 24hrs, and the pretzels they serve up front are so good.
Clean and new.
Terrible store. We will literally go out of our way to avoid this place. Trashy management. The dollar store feels fancy in comparison.
Use to be good but turned into a weird version of 90s/00’s wally world.
Any other time they would have gotten a 5 but they racially profiled me and tried to accuse me of stealing with no proof at all I spend way too much money here for this to happen
19. Kohl’s
Address: 230 E Rollins Rd, Round Lake Beach, IL 60073 , Round Lake Beach , Illinois , United States
I’m a huge fan of this Kohl’s store! It has a great selection of all merchandise, it’s clean & the staff is really helpful.
I go on the regular to return Amazon purchases.
It’s just super convenient!
Good customer service
Been here few times and service was faster at checkout. Plus with the new Khols Pay, its even faster if you set it up and ready for them to scan with all the discount checked that you want to use. Great idea with the Khols Pay!!!
Not a very large store for Kohls-couldnt find anything to buy
Pretty expensive than other stores
There is very little staff at this store. Clothes were in disarray. None of the cash registers were open. I had to wait in the customer service line to pay for my items. And the whole time I was there, an alarm was incessantly beeping. No employee seemed to notice.
Very messy and hard to find things
Prices were ridiculously high. $40 for a 5 pack of boxers other stores are charging $22 to $24 for. We went there because we had a gift card and a coupon. The coupon wouldn’t work for anything we wanted to purchase. After reading the list of exclusions on the website I’m not sure what the coupon can be used on. There also were no employees on the floor to assist. Product wasn’t clearly priced, there was a sign that said buy one get one half off but there was nothing indicating the actual price so we had to roam around the store until we finally found a self service scanner to check the price.
