The owner of APE was quite friendly and knew exactly what he had in stock on the phone re; my HE washer's belt. I had sought this store out on a referral from a friend who works on appliance repairs. I prefer to support local business whenever possible and came from an outlying area to get there. The store appears to have everything you could ever need for appliance repairs and a quirky, cool display of odd things folks have burned onto their stove grills hanging on the wall. However when I got there the the owner was busy so I waited for his employee. The employee had just been friendly and courteous to the customer he was chatting with before me and was strangely dismissive, snide and sarcastic with me. It made for a most unpleasant transaction. I rarely speak up about such things, but I did and he didn't acknowledge it or anything, just brushed me off. This is too bad as my friend and I are building tiny homes and restoring appliances for those displaced in the recent fires. Perhaps he didn't appreciate serving a woman? I doubt I would go back.
