Helpful staff
I have frequented the Amsterdam Ace Hardware, formally True Value for the last ten years. I would have given a 4 star review if it wasn't for what happened today Sept. 4th at approx. 1:45pm. I went in to buy some pool supplies and walked in on an older (caucasian) female employee, making a joke about hispanic accents to a caucasian customer as he was cashing out. This employee and customer did see me walk in and they would have had to know I am at the least a person of color. The employee and customer continually joked about people with hispanic names getting social services. The employee even joked about a hispanic woman that handed in an application and filled it out wrong, as the customer sarcastically joked on why hispanics wonder why "american" named people get jobs over hispanics. As they continued to joke and laugh, another customer waiting in line laughed and joked hysterically as well as the cashier. I stayed in the front looking at pool equipment in amazement as they joked and laughed knowing that I, a man of color stood right there. It is a sad day in America when you can go to a well established business such as this and experience such hateful roderick. Although some hardware can only be found in this local establishment, I will highly reconsider going to this business. Be safe people......
Prices at True Value are very slightly higher than Lowes and Home Depot in my experience, and the selection is a little more sparse. However, the staff at this location are extremely friendly and helpful, and the location is pretty convenient. If you live in the area, it's not a bad little hardware shop.
They always have what i need ,if they don't their always happy to order it . Hardware is cheaper than the big boxers . I like this store better than Johnstown, they don't jump on you when you walk in, like in Johnstown
