My friend and I entered this store and had a very intimidating experience with an employee that I believe has received a bad review on here already. He made us feel very uncomfortable and we felt almost chased out of the store.
As soon as we entered, we were stopped to talk to this man. We were polite and let him finish his little speech, thinking he was just doing his job, but he got more and more aggressive with his speech as we tried to move on saying, "don't try to walk away, everyone tries to walk away." He then asked if I considered myself a geek. I said no, and he told me to get out of the store. I gave him a look, and he said 'it was a joke.' I said I knew that (I simply didn't laugh because it was uncomfortable and not funny and I came in to shop, not stroke this guy's ego). He made a hand gesture to imply that the joke went over my head, and my friend and I moved on.
He met us at the back of the store, and started asking my friend questions about why she came to the back of the store. She said she was just walking and looking around. (Isn't that what you do at a store?) We made our way back to the front, anxious to get out of there but trying not to be rude. He called after us "sorry for wasting your time."
He walked behind us as we made our way to the front saying, "oh this is awkward, I have to walk back up here to greet guests. This is so awkward." There was no one else coming in. If it was so awkward, he could've waited and not walked on top of us as we tried to exit the store. My friend and I were looking at something in the store as we went through the exit and he rushed us out, saying "have a good day ladies, goodbye! Have a nice day, go on." And waving us out.
I don't understand why he acted this way. We felt paranoid for the rest of our trip (two young women alone) and I felt nauseous. Even more than what he said, it was his condescending tone and lack of personal space that made us uncomfortable. How can someone act this way while representing a store? I thought maybe he was new and wouldn't be there long, but after reading the other review posted a month ago (from Dustin M.), I'm not so sure. I will not be returning to this store. read more
