This lasted a few minutes until she went behind a door to continue her conversation for pretty much my entire time in store (over 40 minutes, and yes I could hear her laughing on the phone while I was walking out). There was only 2 other people in the store working, and maybe 3 other customers. The staff that were actually working were very helpful, and helped my wife find the shoe she was looking for. I wasen't going to write a review, but we came in on a separate visit trying to get a duffle, the Same Manager was actually on the sales floor (surprise) and we had asked her if she could bring us one down one so we could look at it. She was right next to them, and instead called a younger employee to grab it down with some big stick that was by the front door. Why were we made to wait??? Why couldn't you do it??? I've seen stores that were going out of business with more attentive management. I advise going to the other big 5's as this one has poor customer service starting from the top!

I live two minutes away and this the closest DSG store to me…read more I have to agree with the previous Yelpers and their reviews that customer service here is not the greatest. I've been coming here since this location opened years & years ago and this past year or so... service has changed. The staff isn't as friendly, they seem annoyed when you ask for help and when you do need assistance, *most* of them are no where to be seen. The selection also has gone downhill since they're always out of stock in certain sizes and I wait a couple weeks and still, no new inventory. The value is quite pricey for most things. I don't but certain brands from here since I know I can get the same thing at the outlets. I use to shop here more often but not as much now... it's just so different. Plenty of parking in the lot though so no issues there.

We requested an exchange, not a full refund without reason. Manager Barbara refused the return and was very rigid about the policy, despite the item being purchased less than 24 hours earlier. The interaction felt dismissive and not customer-friendly at all. Very disappointing experience compared to the level of service I expect from DICK'S Sporting Goods.

If you're coming here hoping to score a deal, don't bother. You won't find it here. I drove 20 minutes on my lunch break to stop by, complete waste of time.

I haven't been to REI in a while so I was unaware that they opened up a new building dedicated to…read moreaction sports only: biking, skiing, snowboarding, etc. It was a nice surprise to have more options and to have the extra space to roam around. Since REI is located in an industrial street, there are many parking spots available for this building and the main building. My husband and I took our snowboards to get waxed. This time around, we opted to pay for the hot wax as opposed to their free machine wax. The hot wax is usually $36 each but they were having a promo that it's half off until March. We went on a Saturday mid-afternoon and it took only about 20 minutes. I also wanted to buy some new boots and I put my name down on the sign up sheet on the clipboard. I was the next one in line and thought the wait wouldn't be too long but I still ended up waiting about 30 minutes to be seen. It seemed there was only one guy dedicated to the boot fitting area. After a while, I ended up approaching another worker and thankfully he said he was able to help me out. *Tip if you're going for boot fitting: put your name down on the list but also just ask anyone with a green vest to see if they can help you out so you don't end up unnecessarily waiting a while. I'd like to give Mike a huge shoutout for helping me find the right boots! He was so personable and he took the time to explain what I should feel. He suggested I put insoles in my boots because I have flatter feet and it made a whole difference, so I really appreciate that. Overall, we had a great experience and received wonderful customer experience between getting our boards waxed, fitting for my new boots, and checking out.

Shopping in San Diego, California…read more.. My cousins didn't have many shopping requests, but REI was one of them. We don't have REI in Hawaii, so I was game. REI stands for Recreation Equipment, Inc. Most of the merchandise seems to be geared towards camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. I saw tents, sleeping bags, campfire cooking equipment, sunglasses, clothing, shoes, bags, first aid kits, and more! My cousin was so happy to find a pair of name brand flip flops for half off (around $50). My other cousin bought some dry-fit clothing. As long as they're happy, right? They are literally Happy Campers! =D

But, I tell the staff where she's going and what she's trying to catch (& release), and they alwys point me in the right direction. This year for Christmas I wanted to get her a certain fishing rod that she was drooling over. I popped in. They ordered one in for me, and I had it in time for the holiday.

The customer service here is alwys great, the selection amazing and the advice is top notch!!

Top notch fly fishing shop in San Diego. From the beginner to the advanced they have you covered!…read more My 10 year old has grown to love fishing. He's spent time on deep sea boats, lots of lake spinner fishing and now has an interest in fly fishing. I have very little to no knowledge of fly fishing. We went to the Fly Stop and were amazing! The staff greeted us and immediately were eager to share their knowledge and learn our interests. After explaining our planned trip, the researched (and showed us how) what flies were the most successful for the areas we were fishing. After researching they took us to their expansive collection of flies and equipment to help us select the right gear to hopefully have a solid trip. The price of the flies were absolutely incredible... most were between $1-$2! We had a great time learning and looking through their inventory. We will definitely be back!

There are a few restaurants here that I personally like, especially Din Tai Fung and Haidilao. There's also Starbucks and plenty of other spots depending on what you're in the mood for. The whole area just has a comfortable vibe to it compared to a lot of other malls. Parking has honestly never been too difficult for me either. Even when it gets busy, I can usually still find a spot without too much trouble.

Apocalyptically awful parking lot!…read more This parking lot is a chaotic, soul-crushing labyrinth that may very well be the single worst design I've encountered in my 79 long, well-traveled years on this planet. Upon entering, you're handed a cheerful little ticket promising a free first hour--how generous! What they don't tell you is that you'll spend roughly two-thirds of that hour trapped in a slow-moving purgatory just trying to escape. You've got about 20 blissful minutes to enjoy yourself before trying to join the line of cars that moves slower than a sloth on melatonin. I genuinely cannot tell if the exit gates are malfunctioning, cursed, or if the drivers ahead of me were participating in some sort of cognitive endurance experiment. Multiple cars took a baffling 4-5 minutes each at the gate--an interaction that should take about 10 seconds unless you're attempting to solve a Rubik's cube while blindfolded. By the time I escaped, I had aged another decade. I will absolutely never return to this parking lot. Bring a helicopter. Hope this helps.
