I remember buying a workwear jacket from them 5 years ago for the same price as a standard pair of pants now. This particular location is pushy AF. I had to tell 80 employees that I don't need help, and one of them (in the shoe department) would literally not leave me alone. Do you need help? No. Okay well just to let you know... Thank you, I don't want help. Okay but just...darn tough has a warranty... Please...I don't want help or conversation. Okay but.... Until I literally said, "damn dude, leave me alone!" And had to walk away from him. Cannot take no for an answer. That's not being helpful, that's being a nuisance.

I'm visiting Santa Fe for the first time and wanted to poke around the shops on the main plaza…read more Most of these stores are overly touristy with questionable quality turquoise and over-the-top hippy garb that hippies and hipsters would never be caught wearing. However, that is not my biggest concern. What I set out to do was to find an alpaca (or at least a rather soft) blanket, and what I experienced going from store to store was rather discriminatory. I am a 21-year-old woman who could not get the attention of a sales person to save my life (and these stores were almost completely empty). While I was in Dragonfly, the sales woman (approx. 50) was attending to another customer who was trying on a skirt. When the sales woman saw me heading towards the blankets, after I had been puttering around the store for a couple of minutes without so much as a "hello," her comment to me was "Hi. Oh those are each $40. Is that going to work for you?" she said as she took the blanket away from my hands. I'm 21. I'm 5'10". I'm wearing a black French Connection sweater with jean shorts, and sporting Ray-Bans on top of my head. Not to sound materialistic, but I did not just come off the streets to rub my grubby hands all over your nice blankets. I am looking to buy one. So treat me like a customer, dammit! The condescension continued throughout the exchange, and though I should have just left and called her out on her age-discrimination, I really wanted the blanket. HOWEVER, THE PARTY DOES NOT STOP THERE! I experienced this similar age-profiling in Keshi, a zuni fetish store down on Don Gaspar street, where I had to hunt down a sales woman and ask her to sell me the fetish I had chosen. This experience somewhat paled in comparison to the Dragonfly store. It was absolutely ridiculous how condescending that woman was because I was young. Hate to break to y'all touring in Santa Fe, but this is profiling is common throughout the entire plaza area, and likewise if you are a middle-aged woman with a purse, sales people will target you aggressively, whether it be through your own shopping weaknesses or your kids.

I went into the Santa Anna Big R (near Bernallio) to buy a special dog food. The Wholesome foods sensitive stomach is the best food for my Great Dane & German Shepard. Only one the Shepard can keep down. I was truly excited to see Big R carries it & it was on sale, at a great price. I went into store as they opened hopefully to buy the dog food only to find they didn't have it. Here is where the Santa Fe BIG R stepped up to make our day. I spoke with manager "Nathan" who told me he had 5 bags & would transfer them to the store near me in Bernallio. He could have them there this afternoon for me to pickup tomorrow morning. Saving me a trip to Santa Fe, stocking me up for weeks to come, & allowing me to get the bags at the sale price. Nathan's customer service is the reason I will continue to shop Big R.

Update: BIG R DIDN'T EVEN FIX IT. THE SAW STILL WONT IDLE. ALL THE MESS BELOW AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN…read moreDO THEIR JOBS. I had never even heard of Big R before this mess. And my experience with them explains why. So I bought a brand new Husqvarna chainsaw (I received awful service from Husqvarna too and would not recommend their products. If something goes wrong they'll leave you high and dry and stuck dealing with a place like Big R) from Lowe's and it did not run correctly. Lowe's wouldn't take it back because it had been more than 48 hours so I was stuck. So I reached out to Husqvarna and their "customer service" sent me to the local service center, which is big R. So I took the chainsaw to Big R and explained to the cashier what the issue was. Things seem to be going fine, but then he said there would be a service fee. Obviously, I did not feel that was right as this was a brand new chainsaw and if anybody should be paying anything to fix it, it should be Husqvarna. So he called this manager over. This is basically where the whole problem started. From the get-go this manager, Michelle made it very clear she had zero interest in helping or moving the problem forward. All she offered was to make sure I was aware I was gonna be responsible for paying this. She never said anything like "this is what you need to do". It was just "you didn't buy this here so it's not our problem" . So I left thinking I'd take it somewhere else. I reached back out to Husqvarna and they said just take it back and Big R will submit it as a warranty repair. Wondering why Michelle had said NOTHING about this I brought the chainsaw back that same afternoon. I dealt with the exact same cashier who knew exactly what was going on. And I left the chainsaw to be repaired. Fast-forward like six weeks later. (Because they don't even do the repairs in Santa Fe. They had to send my chainsaw to Colorado.) I get a call that it's ready and I immediately ask is there a $ balance. sure enough they're trying to charge me about $60. So I told him no I'm not paying that and I hung up the phone. I continued receiving calls from various people and I ended up hanging up on all of them. I'll give them credit for continuing to escalate up the chain but I never asked for that. They could have thrown the saw in the trash for all I cared. But every person i spoke with wanted me to jump through hoops instead of just reaching out to Husqvarna to get paid. Pretty sad these people are so stupid or lazy they can't make this simple connection. Finally I get a voicemail from some regional manager and he waived the fee but also made it a point to tell me my business was no longer welcome. Gee! Ya think?! This is such petty Gen Z "you were mean to us" behavior. Yeah don't look at your manager Michelle's massive failure here. Blame the customer. Trust me Big R, you didn't get any money from me and you never will.

They didn't check the box to make sure the pair matched. I had already worn the shoes as I went out of town and had no other shoes to wear. They were subtle differences, so from afar it was hard to tell. the big difference was that one shoes was lined and the other wasn't. I called earlier this week to inform them of this mistake. Whoever answered the phone told me I could be given a significant discount for BOTH pairs of shoes since I already worn them. The manager insinuated I wanted them for free when I clearly said I was offered a DISCOUNT FOR BOTH PAIRS. she said she'd give me $2 discount for these $140 shoes ($140 each pair). Not only did they not keep their word for their screw up, she charged me the difference for the lined shoes I originally wanted. I asked if they were going to sell the other pair I already wore and she said yes. So, be aware if you're going to purchase a pair of Doc Martens - Embury size 7 as one shoe has already been worn and she's trying to sell them again. I walked a significant amount in them so I don't think it's fair to pay full price for them. I wish I would've looked online for them because I am seeing they under $100 for the same pair on the Official Doc Martens website. I would never ask for a handout but considering their mistake and me expecting them not to sell a used pair of shoes at full price, I thought a discount was more than fair. $2 was insulting and she laughed in my face when she offered it. I used to love famous footwear but this experience completely ruined the store for me.

I simply assumed they needed replacement, despite how new the bike was. It turned out, the brakes were not set right or well to begin with. They just needed a careful adjustment.

Clemente explained in detail what the problem was and had the work done in a timely manner (very important as the bike is my only mode of transportation!).

I stumbled onto Clemente's shop while going from Joe's Diner to the Froghurt place nearby…read more (They're all in the same small shopping mall.) I talked to Clemente, learned he does a lot of repairs, and decided to give him a try because his is also the closest bike shop I know to my south County home. I didn't have long to wait. My "Bicycle from Hell," which has had at least a dozen flats in the less than two years I've owned it, had another one. This time, the stem had come out of the tube entirely and was lying on my garage floor. So it took the whole bike in to Clemente and also asked him to give the bike a "tune up" and fix some slippage in gears six and seven (out of eight) on the right-hand shifter. While I had lunch at Joe's he gave me a new tube with goop and managed to fix the shifting issue beautifully. The gears have never worked so smoothly and reliably since I bought the bike. And he gave me some advice about how to save my tubes, by not obsessively checking the pressure before every ride. Best of all, the charge was only in the mid fifties, including the new tube, or less than half of what the uptown bike shops charge for a tuneup. From now on Sirius will be my go-to repair shop.
