    Fred Meyer does not have the best prices and the check out is slow, but they have a wonderful clean store filled with great products.

    Don't need a club card to get those weekly ad savings, but I think you can earn some kind of reward for gas.

    I was pleasantly surprised to discover Norris specializes in New Balance running shoes (the only…read morebrand they carry). I have a wide foot and they had the perfect high quality running shoe for me. Great customer service and a great selection of running shoes as well as work shoes and work boots. I've found a new favorite shoe store. History buffs will enjoy knowing that Norris has been the same name in this building since 1909 and in a wooden building on the same site since 1894. Wow.

    This review is about accommodation, about kindness, and about trust. It is not about a pair of $50…read moreshoes. I sold shoes, clothing, cars and much more - for dozens of years. And there's an old saying in the retail business: Make someone happy, they'll tell 10 people; make them unhappy, they'll tell a thousand. I am not happy. I went to Norris because they carry the kinds of shoes I need for walking. I have plantar fasciitis and need shoes for support, and Norris was highly recommended for this type of footwear. I appreciate family-owned businesses, and whenever I can, love to patronize these kinds of stores rather than shop on the internet. So I made the drive to Medford from Grants Pass to shop for some new shoes. Linda was my salesperson, and she's also the manager of the store. Cordial, knowledgeable, she helped me as I tried on a number of different styles. I found an awesome pair of Birkenstocks that were SO comfortable - but decided against them as fall and winter are coming and I need closed shoes. I settled on a pair of New Balance shoes. I need the support that this brand offers. They were cute and comfortable, and they were a wide width which is good for me (I have fat feet!). Perfect for the gym and just plain everyday casual use. AND they were on sale! Score! But when I got home, trying them on with different outfits and walking around the house in them, I noticed that the top of the shoe was cramping my big toe a bit on both shoes. They were long enough, but the design of the shoe had the top sloping down just enough to hit the top of my toes. I hadn't noticed this in the store, but hadn't really walked in them for more than a few minutes. Bottom line? I bought them for walking...and they hurt my toe when I walked. So. What to do. I knew when I bought them that they were "sale shoes" and that "all sales were final" - meaning no returns or exchanges. But, because they were brand new and because I was willing to exchange them for the $130 Birkenstocks, I decided to throw myself on the mercy of the good people at Norris Shoes and see if I might be able to "trade up". I called the store to talk to Linda, but she wasn't in. I spoke to a woman named Laura and explained my situation and she was friendly...but just about as unhelpful as can be. She told me to "just come by the store between 9:00 and 9:30 am, because that's when Linda is available". I told her I lived in Grants Pass and would like to speak to Linda before I made the 60 mile round trip. I asked what the best time to call back would be but just couldn't get a definitive answer. So I told her I would call Linda back later in the week. I called a few days later and got Laura again. Again, Linda was not there. So I left her my number and asked her to have Linda return my call. Days went by. No return call. I know people get busy. I know that my silly $50 purchase is probably not a priority in the grand scheme of things. But I *am* a customer. I have called twice, and left my number for a return call. So I called this morning (Monday) at 9:15 am. I got Linda on the phone! Yay! I explained my situation, and that the shoes were cramping my big toes. She went on the defensive right away, telling me, "Well, you walked around the store quite a bit and there just fine when you were here." I agreed that yes, they seemed "just fine" when I was there. But that they were *not* just fine now, after having worn them around the house. I told her that I understood the policy of "no returns of exchanges" but was hoping she'd make an exception, and allow me to exchange my brand new unworn shoes for a much more expensive pair of Birkenstocks. She repeated again that "they were just fine when you were here" and that "you walked around for a long time in the store and there was no problem" (I didn't walk around for "a long time", by the way). I told her plaintively, "Well, they're not fine now. I bought them for walking and can't walk in them. I'd just like to exchange them for a much more expensive pair of shoes." There was a pause. Yes, she was curt, short and borderline rude. Yes, she seemed to be accusing me of trying to pull some kind of fast one. But I was sure my plea for mercy was heard. After a few beats she responded. "You're putting me in an uncomfortable position here. When you wore them in the store they were just fine. There's nothing I can do." I thanked her for her consideration and hung up. I knew before I called that I might not be able to return them. But I didn't expect a rude, accusatory tone. I wasn't trying to pull a fast one, which she seemed to suggest. $50 is not going to change my life, but walking in shoes that are uncomfortable will. Norris Shoes will not go out of business if they allow one customer to exchange a pair of unworn sale shoes. But they will go out of business if customers decide that Amazon.com is more accommodating and far less judgmental than the Lindas of the world.
