The 429 is always near empty, well worth a small toll charge!

It depends on where you are staying. The one at the Loop and East 192 is closer if you are staying in that area or at Disney.

Isn't Clermont nearer for you at Highgate Mick?

Our Villa is near marker 15 (behind Medieval Times) I have no idea where Hobby Lobby is though. I thought our nearest was The Loop which is pretty close to us.

I already have Hobby Lobby and Tuesday Morning down on my must visit list.

Forget your Nike and Converse I need paper and embellishments.

Hi Angelbabe

WGV 15.1 miles, Clermont 15.4, The Loop 15.7

I know that I come across on here as a reasonable and non-controversial sort of chap but sadly (and possibly pathetically) I do sometimes bear a grudge.

Visited Clermont a couple of years back on a B3G3F day and Joan had a 20% discount screen shot on her phone. The sales assistant said that she wouldn't accept the screen shot and that emailing of discount bar codes was due to be stopped. Both times she was economical with the truth (aka lying ). She eventually conceded but without any grace. Naturally Joan's had a dozen or more discount emails since and they are happily accepted at all other branches.

Sad I know but that sort of sales approach doesn't impress us.

We don't really avoid tolls but Avalon is a pleasant drive through the countryside and fairly quiet after you get past Hartzog.

Damn right I'd be the same!
I possibly don't come across as reasonable and non-controversial though!

When I'm providing help I try to be positive (that's what the DIBB is about I believe). If people communicate back in a patronising and offensive way they do see I have another side.

She was so much different to a sales girl at the M@M branch about 5 or 6 years ago. We returned after about a year's gap and as soon as she saw us she said "Hi guys - back from the UK again".

But wasting valuable shopping time! 🤗
As to rude servers, I don’t stand for any nonsense, I ask for extra coupons off, mostly get them! I do it in good humour and can’t recall any rudeness! I usually find the helpfulness a bit much! Not used to it from the UK!
