Allied Refreshment Company

Update 1/4/22 - The problem I describe below has been worked on by their technicians at my office several times since I posted my review, and while I do appreciate their response each time we call, I've given plenty of time to see a permanent resolution, but the problem keeps coming back. Now, it's worse because the machine eats coins without giving credit, and the coin return button does not work. You just lost another star.

----- Original review below -----

Average selection of snacks and beverages, which is fine, but the debit card readers go into "cards offline by vendor" mode for over 6 hours every Thursday and Friday, part of which is during our lunch break. I don't carry cash or coins, so this is very annoying and inconvenient.

Our vending machine at work has been empty for weeks.  This is how we provide drinks for our clients and snackies for hangry stylists.  We have repeatedly called and requested service to no avail.  WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US?!  I neeeeeed caffeine and those sweet and spicy peanut thingies.  Please save us!  We are so thirsty!

This is the absolute worst vending company. The machines will stay empty for days and they only fill half of them each time they come.
Do not hire this company!
This is the kind of company that shuts the card reader off at breaks to force your employees to use cash so this company won't have to pay credit card fees. And they stock expired food all the time

The advertised price for a soda is $2.00. It doesn't show that there is an additional charge for using a credit card. I debated buying at $2.00, the extra would have been a deal breaker, and I won't be purchasing again.

They charge you $5 no matter what your purchase is. It could be a snack for $1.25, and you'll get charged for $5. They refund your money *eventually* but the process takes a number of days. I would give them zero, but 1 star is the lowest I can give.

Westlake Ace Hardware

Just left Westlake on 11-10-23 about 6:15pm on Independence ave. I was in line and the young man in front of me had around 6 items the cashier rang them up and then the young man said something to the cashier and walked off. I asked what is he doing she responded he went to get another item. I responded your kidding. I then laid the item down I was going to purchase and left. "Wow" not only was that unprofessional of the cashier that was rude. Westlake train your people better. I will shop elsewhere from now on.

A decent Ace Hardware. They have minimal turnover because I persistently see several long term employees over the last 3 years in the area. The store is decently kept and a helpful staff. I wish they had a better selection of some things, but it has 90% of anything you would need to build a house. Key cutting and knife sharpening is a nice touch.

Helpful employees, was a little put off on how expensive their animal accessories were tho but overall pleased with my experience so far!

We went in to get a quality grounded ext. cord and after looking around at the entire stock & comparing all the specs we found a really great one. It was a 25ft med. duty grounded one marked at $16.99, GREAT, the others we liked were & 35+! I didn't think it was too odd since they had others (granted not quite as good) around the same price. At the register the cord rang up for $36.99 so the cashier checked it & YEP that was the price. I explained that was hanging with a few of the same cords on a peg marked with the low price then took an employee back to show them. The employee found I was right but soon discovered that almost all the cords were hanging on the wrong price hooks. I asked if they would be willing to honor the price b/c well that is where it was. They had the assist. manager come out & after watching both the employee & assist. manager go through everything to see how wrong the display was set up & looking to see what overrides they could do on the price I asked if they would be able to meet me in the middle of what the price said & what it should actually be - the assistant manager agreed and apologized for not being able to do the much lower price. Honestly I know some people will still think they should have done the lower price but the employees don't make the rules & there is only so much they can do without getting in trouble themselves PLUS they could have easily said "nope it's the price that the bar code reads".

So thank you to the employees that were incredibly helpful & very fair Randy, Keyon & Mary (hope I got all the names right!)

It's nice to shop somewhere the employees are helpful & do what they can to accommodate customers. It seems to happen less & less especially at big chain businesses.

Yesterday, Dana and Joe, from Westlake (6201 Independence Ave), helped getting a 2nd car key and fob, for our car!  They did a great job! We really appreciated it and saved us money! Another Associate, Morgan, also helped me when paying with a my new card, but it was declined. I was about use my primary card, when Morgan said I entered a wrong pin number, but I couldn't remember it. She said try it again, and use it as credit, and it worked! 3 great Associates at this store!

KC Master Maids

This team of cleaners did a beautiful job! The interior cleaning for a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath home is on one floor. The house smelled great afterwards and the floors, kitchen counters/ cabinets, bathroom counters/showers/toilets, furniture tops, carpet and entry ways were spotless. I have  8 window plantation blinds that were cleaned and a stairwell to the basement level that was vacuumed. They were very receptive to my questions and the company makes continuous monthly scheduling and communication very easy! Thanks to Jessica & Troy for a wonderful experience!

Jessica and Troy are the best cleaning crew out there. They are reliable and efficient. They clean our Airbnb and we always get great reviews about how it’s the cleanest Airbnb they have ever stayed in.

I called on a Sunday absolutely expecting to leave a message. I was surprised when Kurt answered. He was very personable, asked all of the important questions, and put me on the schedule for Tuesday. Our cleaner Jessica made sure that she knew exactly what we wanted with our deep clean and then went to work! Everything looked amazing and she also took before and after pics, so that we could see exactly how great the cleaning was. We were very happy KC Master Maids and we'll be regular customers going forward.

Excellent cleaning service.  Always prompt and confirms appointment each time.  We are very pleased with this company.

This is an excellent service, and the price is incredibly reasonable!! I used them during a time when I was unable to do things myself, and honestly - they were better than I would do myself!!! Definitely 5 Stars!!! Wendy is the best, and her daughter LeighAnn joined her yesterday while home from college, and went above the norm when she helped my husband move a chair to the garage!!! Nothing like having a clean house, especially when you're unable to do it yourself. Thank you 😀

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

The kid working at this location was nice, but it took several attempts to get him out from the back. We ordered seven apples to serve as dessert at my dinner party. Four of those apples were rotten to the core and had to be thrown out. Unfortunately, no one wanted to try the other three. What a waste of money. DO NOT buy apples from here.

Bought caramel apples today with little to no caramel on them. I won’t be back to this location.  Definitely not worth the money.

Walked out after 20 minutes of waiting and only two customers ahead of us served.  With four people ahead of us, why bother.  This isn't the first horrible experience here, they need their franchise revoked.

Wasn't too good. Customer service was great but the things we got didn't taste fresh.  The pistachio ice cream according to my hubby was too strong tasting. The apples are like 10.00 a piece but that's if it's loaded with toppings.
We went to the Zona Rosa location awhile back and we didn't care for it either. Oh well. Not going back. Was looking for some fudge but don't have it.

Out of chocolate covered strawberries at 2pm with no intentions of making more for the day, 2nd time I’ve came and had a bad experience kinda over trying.

The Learning Experience - Liberty

Our little guy has been at The Learning Experience since Spring of 2023. We have finally found a place that he feels comfortable at. It all starts with the staff. From the director to the classroom teachers, to the support staff. Everyone is so personable and approachable. They are there to help your child feel safe, have fun and learn. We had some behavioral issues lately with our little guy and the staff has been nothing but helpful. We worked together to come up with a plan that has helped our child succeed in more ways than we could have imagined. I would 100% recommend this center to any parent who is looking for great quality childcare.

We absolutely LOVE TLE!!!! I’ve always felt so much guilt leaving my kids with someone else while I go to work but this staff of teachers feels more like family. I can truly say they love my babies and I don’t worry at all if they’re safe in their care. The app is kept up with throughput the day, telling you what they’ve eaten, if they’ve slept, what they’re doing, and it even has pics you can save! We chose this school originally because it feels like school which is a great transition when kindergarten hits. We’ve STAYED because of the love our kids are shown and all they learn daily. They are incredibly intelligent and that has a LOT to do with the curriculum here at TLE. We love you guys!!!!

Our family is so grateful for TLE! After multiple horrendous experiences elsewhere, I am still confident we made the right selection with TLE nearly a year later now.

Safety is a main priority for us. The building itself has several safety features that set it aside from any others I’ve toured. Even on the phone, you are required to provide a predetermined passcode to authenticate that you are an authorized adult to the child of discussion. I’ve observed members of leadership staff monitoring teacher:student ratios on multiple occasions. Majority of staff members aside from my child’s teacher are able to identify him by name. The building/classrooms appear clean. Our child has a medical condition which can become emergent quickly. They work hard to have proper documentation, plans, and medications on file for him to prepare for an emergency. I’ve appreciated that multiple staff members have come to me with specific questions pertaining to his medical condition rather than making assumptions which is an action that could be life-saving for him.

We’ve had the best experience with staff including teachers, reception, and leadership here compared to anywhere else. There are always familiar faces which is rare elsewhere due to constant turnover. The staff overall seem happy and friendly. It appears they enjoy their jobs and the children they’re caring for. Most staff members including those not directly caring for my child are able to identify him by name. One of my favorite things about their staff is that most days when I pick him up, at least one of the teachers are able to tell me something specific about his day — something cute he said/did, an activity he enjoyed, a friend he made, etc. They are paying attention which unfortunately is not the case everywhere.

We have seen marked improvements in his cognitive abilities, development, and social skills which we partially attribute to the staff, routine, curriculum, and consistency we see on a regular basis. Our child appears happy and playing with friends when we arrive to pick him up. He no longer dreads going to daycare as he did at the previous facility.

We are immensely grateful for the caring, competent staff members who take great care the children while making safety a priority. I would not go anywhere else!

The center and staff are warm, inviting and my son smiles and reaches for his teachers. I know he is well taken care of and I am informed daily on how he was from Energy level, food intake and overall happiness. The app is amazing also. The Director is very involved and the cohesion of the entire leadership team really shows as everyone works as a unit. We looked at multiple options and this center really makes you feel welcome from day one. It doesn’t feel like a business but like a personal babysitter for my son. The level of training and compassion is quite unique and allows me the comfort of knowing he is safe.

My daughter has attended this preschool since she was 10 months old. She started walking 3 weeks after her first day. Fast forward to present day, she just turned two years old and can recite her complete alphabet and can count to 30 on her own. Her vocabulary is outstanding and her social skills are impeccable. The structure of this preschool is just what we needed being first time parents, the administration and teachers offer excellent parent communication at all times. The facility is exceptionally clean well put together, modern, and has an outdoor and indoor activity area for recess. The classrooms are spacious and the teachers care. The Learning Experience Liberty is an amazing school for our child.

Ameri Fence Corporation of Kansas City

The order process went great. I ordered 2 seperate orders consisting of  1 - Vinyl and 1 - Chain Link. When I recieved my Vinyl order it was packaged so badly that several of the rails were broken. I have had to file a damage claim with FedEx Freight that has yet to be paid.
When I received my black chain link once again the packaging was so bad that every piece of rail and the post were scratched to the point that they will have to be painted before installaion. I have contacted America's Fence Store both by phone and email with no call back except to ask for pictures, that was several days ago. Also, one of the rolls of chain link looks as if it has had a lift fork ran through it that cause damage as well.

We needed 2 new panels and a post for our fence which was damaged, Ryan Sexton went above and beyond to determine the correct panels to buy and made the whole transaction seamless.  It is hard to find good customer service at this time and Ryan was top notch!  Thank you!

Ordered chain link gates from them, still waiting for them to be completed and it’s been almost a month.  Do not recommend them to anyone. They prioritize companies over other business.

Poor communication. Order was delayed due to covid which is understandable. None of this was communicated to me. Expected ship date came and went. Took multiple emails and phone calls to get a new ship date which was also missed. Upon another follow up email I got an order shipped confirmation. Will update once fence arrives.

I have a small fence contracting business and these guys are my go to suppliers. They are professional and regularly exceed expectations!! If you're a DIY'er or a fence contractor I recommend buying from Amerifence!

Big O Tires

Appreciate the great customer experience from Lucas. He was throughly a joy to work with. He explained the repairs and kept me updated on the status. I'm really impressed (nice printout of results) and very thankful! Definitely recommend using these guys 👌🥳

The guy who helped me at the start was amazing. said it would be about a hour for them to get me in to balance my tires. A hour later I come back and talk to a girl named Rachel. I then informed her I was told to come back in a hour for a balance appointment, and she quickly told me “No that can’t happen today due to a emergency flat repair” even thought I was told to come back in a hour, and that’s all i was told before she walked away and didn’t help me again. Standing there for 5 minutes, I decided to leave and go to Discount Tire.

I drove home from work with very bad front breaks.  I called at 5:30 PM, and they told me to come in and check them for me .
It was almost closing time for them, but they took me in.
I really appreciated that and put me to ease.
Although my bill  was over $500
It was worth it.

Was a great experience overall. The clerk was able to get me in the shop and on the road sooner than expected. He made it clear what was happening with the vehicle. Then they also fixed the problem my dealership caused. I'd recommend their service, as they were fast and friendly.

A couple months ago, I took my 2011 GMC Acadia in to get new tires. Of course I got hit with other issues that needed to be fixed. I let some of the repairs go through, then they hit me with a rack and pinion to end it all, and I stopped there. Months prior I had my tie rods replaced by another mechanic who stated that the rack and pinion was fine. I was told that if I didn't get the rack and pinion, I wouldn't pass inspection, as inspection time was fast approaching. I took my truck to Firestone, in Liberty, Mo wherever it passed with no issues.  So, you were  going to try and put me on the hook for well over an extra grand? I think that's horrible service, not to mention the other comments here. I will tell you, Firestone earned my service that day, they were considerate, honest and prompt. They didn't try to sell me things I didn't need, I think you should be ashamed of what you put your customers through

Aplomb Martial Arts Liberty

60 year old man, never done martial arts before, and having a blast at Aplomb.  I wanted to have another self defense tool at my disposal, but quickly found out how inflexible and out of shape I really am.  The classes are very organized, Sensei Daniel pushes me but understands an individual's limitation.  He has the perfect balance of praising and coaching.  Looking forward to each class.

Sensei Matt is a caring and compassionate teacher of martial arts. My 7-year-old daughter looks forward to coming to every class! He connects with each student in a way where it's fun to learn new skills. I couldn't be happier that we found this place and with watching her become  more confident in self-defense.

This place is awesome.  I'm 35 years old and joined the dojo almost 6 months ago.  It has been great.  I have got in much better shape, become more flexible, and formed a passion for the martial arts.  I advise anyone that's at all interested to go try a free intro class.

Highly recommended. I see a real difference with my 7 and 9 year old boys. Sensei Matt is very professional and a good role model.

We have just started classes for our 8 year old son and he is loving it! I think this will be great for him working on his focusing skills and i am really excited to see how this benefits him in school.

Was asked if I needed help twice, found what I was looking for and was checked out promptly. Great looking new store. Very clean. Very friendly staff

On the smaller side for a Westlake, but they have most of what you would need for small projects around the house. Very friendly staff and willing to help you out around the store. Very clean and well-stocked.

Update your hours in Google map, as a Courtesy 😡

RIDICULOUSLY expensive!  Unless you are on fire and need an extinguisher, go to blue or orange. Some items, electrical, 100 % over priced.

Very nice store. Kinda pricy. Convenient location.

Teriyaki Madness

Honestly such a cool place, the atmosphere along with the people working made my experience amazing. Food came out fast and was friendly delivered with a variety of sauces and opinions on them. I live about 45 minutes away from the place and may have to take a few drives back to visits. 10/10 must go visit!

My wife and I very much enjoyed our lunch here. The food was good, fast, and hot. At almost $15/bowl it was a bit pricier than I anticipated, so it will have to be more of a treat than a regular outing.

We had an order of chicken, one of spicy chicken, and an order of pot stickers. Everything was good, and definitely will be back!

Very disappointed with my first visit. Since eating at Teriyaki Madness I have been experiencing food poisoning symptoms. My chicken appeared to be undercooked and I could barely eat it.

Been coming here fewer and fewer these days. Service seems to be going down hill. Food quality also going down hill as well. Standard are going down too. Dried out chicken, hair in my meal. They stopped caring and it shows in the service. Employees talking loudly and inappropriately. Think this will be the last time my family and I visit this place.

Food is decent as long as you don't order the Katsu. I can't stress enough that you do not order the Katsu. The price per bowl on the food is fair, but the amount of protein you get with the Katsu (when I ordered it) is laughable. I essentially paid $11 for a cup and a half of rice and a half cup of steamed vegetables.

When it came to the actual chicken teriyaki, it was good and the portions on both the junior and regular sizes were fair. Stick to the core experience and you'll do fine.

Service was attentive and polite. The atmosphere inside was nice while I waited to take the food home.
