I have gone into Restaurant Depot not knowing it was members only just like Maggie. The person out front was rude about letting me know it was members only. When I went there was no OBVIOUS means of knowing it was members only. I do have access to the store anyway and love the deals! One person's experience may not be another's and no one should be berated for their opinion. State your experience and move on. If it's helpful great... if not, no problem. Again the deals are great and is worth checking out IF you can get in.
