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!"

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.

This Big R is an interesting place to be sure. It has a super dystopian vibe to it. The store was…read more large, well staffed and hospital operating room bright. Everything was there but the inventory of a successful store. They did have some deals on clothes, but mostly it seemed like a lot empty shelves and most of the hardware was off brand stuff I never heard of, marked up to premium prices. It was as if Cabela's and Harbor Freight went on a date, got tipsy on box wine and woke up in the morning with this love child to deal with. A bit of dna from both parents but none of it from the deep end of the pool. Speaking of which, mom and dad must be ashamed of their child, as just getting in to The Big R was difficult. The parking lot entrance wasn't directly in front of the store, and at night it was difficult to navigate the parking lot. Also I get that Santa Fe has serious restrictions on lighting at night, but the parking lot just screamed "Please stand by, your mugger will be with you shortly." No wonder the place was deserted.
