  Made a big deal about me asking for extra bags after I purchased something.

  I got a flat tire and walked 2 miles to their store. I asked if I could simply leave my bike up front for 2 minutes while I bought a replacement tire and they refused. It is a very expensive road bike and I wasn't out with a lock. It would have been such a simple kindness but alas store policy. I doubt corporate cares, but I will not be back

  Always come here for my shoes and love the huge selection and pricing, especially if I can find some Puma on the clearance rack in my size. Staff are always competent, I have no complaints there. Parking is abundant and access to it is easy from 35.

  I was disappointed that they decided to deliver my order to the store 3 days early & then threatened to return it, when I waited to pick it up on the expected day.

  Had a very weird interaction at the firearms counter with a worker named Adam last night. It was near closing so the chances of making a purchase were slim. Nonetheless, I went because I wanted to see if the Ruger EC9s was in stock and the same price as online. Being a first time purchase for myself, I can appreciate any constructive criticism or tips about products and brands I wouldn’t have otherwise been informed about. Instead, he told me why I shouldn’t necessarily buy this particular firearm, which some reasons were good about the value proposition of other firearms. I work in sales and understand upselling, which he was good at. Where it really went left was when I was explaining a recent stabbing on a bus that I was maybe seconds away from getting onto, which is what prompted me to look into a firearm in the first place. He then says “well maybe you shouldn’t take the bus”, which I found distasteful and quite frankly pissed me off. He then made a comment, and i quote, “people have told me they need a gun because of the neighborhood they live in or the area is dangerous, and I say well just move to another neighborhood”. Personally I live an a gated community, nor have I ever lived in a bad neighborhood or had to take the bus because of my socioeconomic status, which is why I questioned where these comments were even coming from. Because at this point, these comments had nothing to do with a firearm and I have my suspicions on where this insinuation came from, being that I am a 26 year old black man. If we had more of a conversation about it, I wouldn’t even be writing this review. It just seemed as if he was coming from a place of wanting to be right about something and would barely even let me talk. I’m not judging the man, being that I just found out he existed yesterday, but I will say this interaction and first impression did not sit right with me, being that I myself felt judged in sense. Again, I do appreciate some of the advice he gave, which made a lot of sense, but the way he went about it felt derogatory and impersonal and I did not feel welcome.
