Hobby stores in Chicago

Hill's Hobby in Park Ridge has a "long-standing reputation," alright. Let's just say that the "Help Wanted" sign in the front window seems to be a permanent fixture -- I've seen it there all year, for many years. This is because employers keep getting the kind of help that they keep hiring. BE CERTAIN that you get a proper receipt for anything which you purchase at any store -- don't become the patsy for a clerk who's "skimming the till," no matter how the kid fusses and fumbles and pretends that the cash register is out of paper. Be especially watchful a few minutes before a store's closing time, when supervisors are often busy elsewhere and can't see what's going on in front -- and when polite customers feel rushed to get their merchandise and "let everyone go home." If you say, "Oh, that's OK," and walk out the door without a receipt, the clerk will pocket the proceeds without having rung the sale -- and will, when the shortage comes to light, point at the hapless patron as the thief. Protect yourself- ALWAYS GET A RECEIPT! <br />
