Steve at Sportsman's Warehouse, 5215 Century Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49006, is a terrible person who is…read moretarnishing the reputation of Sportsman's Warehouse by promoting discrimination and abusing power. November 25, 2025, was one of the most humiliating, degrading, and disrespectful experiences I've ever had! Upon arrival at Sportsman's Warehouse to pick up my order for a Rose, a limited-edition firearm, we walked past a man we later found out was Steve. Several other people were in the department at this time while Steve began helping other customers. When it was my turn to talk with Steve, I let him know I was there to pick up my firearm arm. He asked for my name, then went to the back. He then returned and said, "We have it, but I'm not selling it to you because you two smell like weed." My significant other and I assumed it was a joke, so we laughed it off. Steve kept a straight face, and at that moment, I realized he was being serious. I asked him to repeat himself, and he did, saying he had walked past us twice and that we smelled like weed. I immediately told him he had to be joking and that I did not smell anything like weed. He insisted we smelled like weed and wasn't giving me my order. Thankfully, a customer in the department overheard Steve's accusations and intervened, stating that it was him and that he works at a dispensary, and that he just swung by to purchase ammunition, which is why the department smelled like weed. Steve did not do his due diligence to determine where the smell was coming from, but instead assumed it was coming from my significant other and me. We thanked the man for speaking up. Had this man not spoken up, we would have remained the victims of Steve's power trip, lack of professionalism, and ridiculous accusations. Out of everyone in the department, why were we singled out? Why were we discriminated against? Of everyone in the department, he blamed us, and I was upset, so I expressed my frustration respectfully. I had every right to be upset. However, according to Steve, if I were upset, he had the authority not to give me my firearm unless I agreed to let it go. No law requires you to have a good attitude or tolerate disrespect to receive your firearm, but it may be in Sportsman's Warehouse's policy and procedures. This is the primary place to purchase ammunition for our firearms due to its affordable prices and inventory. Unfortunately, I can no longer say this after spending over $1,000 on a firearm and being disrespected, threatened, and humiliated by Steve. Steve's word against mine, I think not! You don't have to take my word for it; listen to it for yourself. The audio recording can be found at https://youtu.be/fQE0u0UrqJg Sportsman's Warehouse needs more people like Andrew and none like Steve! Andrew overheard Steve's nonsense and immediately came to apologize for Steve, attempting to de-escalate and diffuse the situation. He provided excellent customer service and apologized for our experience. We are aware of the laws regarding substances and firearm purchases. What's even more important to me personally is that I pride myself on being one of the few individuals who have never done any substances other than an occasional glass of wine, so hearing that I smelled like weed was a slap in my face and an attack on my character. I have wanted this firearm since it was released, and unfortunately, my excitement and joy have been taken from me, never to return, thanks to Steve. Every time I go to the range or show off my new firearm, I will be reminded of the horrors of Steve. You can record a conversation in Michigan because it is a "one-party consent" state, meaning you can record a conversation if you are a participant and have consented to the recording, and I have consented.

This is hands down the worst service department I've ever dealt with -- not just in Michigan, but…read moretruly a contender for the worst in the entire United States. Service is consistently unreliable, disorganized, and careless. They say one thing, do another, and somehow always find a way to charge more than originally quoted. Nothing ever feels straightforward, and there is zero sense of accountability. I personally know a large handful of people who refuse to ever step foot in their service department again because the experiences are consistently bad. They do not stand behind their products, their customers, or their own warranties. Buying a warranty here is equivalent to donating money than receiving any real protection or service. To be fair, their retail side is much better. The store itself is nice, well-stocked, and worth browsing. But the service department? Get rid of it and stick to retail. If you value your time, your money, or your sanity, don't put yourself through the same frustration so many customers already have. This place will never get another dollar from me -- and based on what I've witnessed, I'm far from the only one who feels that way.

I was greeted by Forrest and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes and we settled on one that they didn't have in stock. He had them shipped to my house. I was skeptical at first that I'd actually like the shoes but after breaking them in for a day they are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I almost didn't want to take them off! The shoes get 5 stars and so does Forrest!!

Funny thing, he put the broken inserts inside the box and hung it back on the display. Ugh, really? I told him not to put it back, so I took it back to the front where I had left my original and the receipt, i got my money back and went to the other store to get the inserts, better quality and very similar price.

Just be sure to bring cash or check as they do not accept credit/debit cards. I cannot say enough about their quality plants and customer service. FYI, if you hesitate to shop there because of their location on Westnedge, don't worry; they have an entry/exit to a side road that has a traffic light to get back onto Westnedge!
