Don't come in the front!  Hard to push wheelchair over the doorway obstacle
Ramp location is the back alley & there was a doorway obstacle

Can't image trying to Christmas shop and the items on top are hard to reach

Great access - no wheelchair button
very friendly staff - hard to see me as the counter was a barrier

bathroom stall - easy to get in & out; sink & soap dispenser - good height; 
paper towels - had to reach
Customer Service rep - concerned that the door buttons would be blocked by carts/
info board/baskets so she asked for my input
