I told them to go get my extruded and load it back into my vehicle, they looked at me like I was crazy but went and got it re-weighed it and put it back in my vehicle. Then after all of that they found their price sheet with extruded at 50 cents a lb. If you know what you have and know its value, don't let them steal it from you, we all work to hard to get what we have.
    The problem with this place is you unload at one building like a drive thru then go next door to get paid in another building. The guy who weighs doesn't know the prices so he refers you to the next building. It's total bull**** compared to the yards where I used to live in a big city. They tell you right at the scale not a problem. If you don't like the prices load it back up.
    This place pissed me off from the attitude of the workers alone. They are a corp. place and the only game in town. I actually fired off an email to the manager of the location asking for clarification of the grades of aluminum and explained how mine was graded and how once I'm in the next building to get paid it's a little late to say nevermind and take the material back. No prices in the unloading area, etc..



    The only thing I like about the place is the fact they pay cash on the spot and no waiting for a check in the mail 3 days later BS like you have in CA. and other states.
