(He was wearing shorts which weren't allowed.) I remember this place being here awhile back - like waaaayyy back (I used to buy my swim gear here back in my high school days) so I took a peek from the 5th floor window and BOOM! There this place is! So I bounced out and ran quickly across the street. I was greeted immediately and I might have been a bit rude because I don't remember acknowledging them and immediately asked, "Where are your men's pants?" They were more than happy to point me to the right direction. Found what I needed, rushed back to the cashier and was asked, "Were you able to find what you needed?" Smiled and pointed at the pants. Then! As she rang up my item, she asked, "Did you just come from the consulate across the street?" Tooooo funny!!! So I guess it happens a lot!!! We both thought that was funny. Found what I needed, staff were great = great return visit, albeit decades later. The space has reduced in size, but hey. Glad they're still hangin' on.

He explained the shoes didn't go any smaller than the size I requested but then he walked away. Didn't give me a chance to try any other shoes for my kid to see if any fit. I didn't want to even bother him for asking for a shoe size for myself. Will likely not return to this location.

I wish I got the young gentleman's name because it seemed like he was one of the only ones in the store who 1) knew where things were 2) could perform an assigned task 3) actually help us out. The reason I am saying this is because we went to the cash register upstairs and the cashier was uncertain that the service was downstairs. Not a big deal, she radioed them and confirmed where we could go. Easy. We go downstairs and show that cashier the glove (brand new, just bought for christmas) and that guy did not know how to do the steaming services, which was also fine because he asked another staff member who helped us, HOWEVER, the first guy told us the cost of it (which there is no cost because after a certain price glove it is a free service). The second guy (bless him) corrected him and stated the price of the glove and why it's free. As the worker was breaking in the glove the other guy cashier asked him multiple questions about where things were, if they did certain services, if he could help this other guest. Honestly that cashier guy was doing NOTHING. This is all in the midst of our guy fitting the glove which consists of steaming and banging it with a mallet which could be dangerous! Just seemed like an unprofessional thing to do. Now maybe this guy was new so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but seriously it seemed like he didn't even bother trying to figure it out on his own before turning the the gentleman helping us. All in all the service was great, he was knowledgeable and answered the questions we had! It seemed like there was a large selection of inventory and some decent sales.

I came here on Saturday looking for a specific item and no employees were of help. I couldn't even find an employee to help me which is odd because there usually is an employee or two walking around fixing things but not this time. I found what i needed and went to pay and the cashiers were so inattentive. It felt more so like a get out of here so we can continue to talk which is actually what it was because as soon as i finished paying and left, thats exactly what happened. The friendliness and helpfulness this location used to have is gone. Which sucks because this was my favorite Dick's location. What a shame
