Pros:
Yes the staff was helpful and polite. Most notably the return was exceptionally quick and easy.Cons:
More counter help. The customer in front of me asked EVERY question imaginable and some that were unimaginable and then of course the attendant was trying to up sell. Sorry but the last thing you want to do after a long day of traveling is to wait in line unnecessarily. Once they got done our transaction went smoothly and we were on our way.8.0 Very good
