Web site states that the store hours are Mon - Thurs are 12pm - 10PM. I made a special trip specifically to THIS store. 1 hour driving time and 20 minutes just to find a parking spot. I arrived at 8:05pm THURSDAY March 26th. After I walked in the door and confirmed it was Beatnix I was told that they were closing in five minutes. Surprised I mentioned that their web site says 10pm. I was told simply "NO." by the female sales clerk and offered no more help than that. Well after a wasted trip, gas money, meter money and my time, I certainly didn't want to keep them to their POSTED HOURS.
TWO WEB SITES BOTH STATING TEN PM AS THEIR THURSDAY CLOSING TIME.
