I go through a lot of hats and have been a regular customer of Lids for many years. Recently I was looking for an infant sized Yankees cap and had to go through Lids.com. They have an option to get free shipping to any of their stores. I went to pick up the cap and looked at their selection which is extensive as long as you want the stiff, flat brimmed style currently popular. My only complaint was the salesperson. Her attitude was horrible and next time I may pay for shipping rather than deal with rudeness and a bad attitude. read more

We bought Padres hats and had them embroidered and the manager was fantastic! Great service and very polite!

That's funny they remove reviews! They don't give a receipt here because they overcharge you. I came to buy my son a hat and the teenager female charged me $10 for a premium pass without my consent or asking me. I had to reach out to their customer service to get a refund. They say they'll email you your receipt but they never do. Careful what they charge you. They scam and they're hella shady read more

I came to look for a hat for my brother, & Vickie the female manager attended to me & was very helpful! The location is clean , and organized. She also asked if I wanted to upgrade my pass & become a member. Knowing all the advantages of Lids will have me coming back. I received my receipt with my purchase on hand. Thank you Vickie & team ! read more

I bought a t-shirt from the store as a gift but wanted to exchange it because it was too small. They didn't accept the exchange even though I had the invoice. One of them in particular tried to kick me out by shouting that they don't accept returns. read more

Vickie & Nate is the best manager I've ever encountered! I bought 5 hats and embroidery she mentioned to me how I can save and she upgraded to me the access pass member !! store is always so clean and employees are so nice and helpful I never have to even reach a hat they grab if for me ! Such a vibe in that LIDS !!! read more

Was charged at hat steam from a teenage girl at the little store Lids. was very disrespectful and never gave a receipt only from email. and when asked for physical copy she says they only do email and have no print paper. will never go back to the smaller lids in the mall ever again!! read more

The employee was fine, but the music they were playing was very inappropriate. The "N" word was heard and "B's", etc. I may be old fashioned, but that type of music should not be playing in a public store in a mall. read more

I have been going to LIDS for many years. Today I was not greeted with respect, the employee did not honor my lids membership and stated that since the "Microsoft computer" issue happened they have not resolved the issue to apply the membership discounts or military discounts, also he did not offer an alternative since I am member of Lids. I am very disappointed in such a big company to have employees work there without passion. I don't think is valid because another location for Lids honored the discount in another city. They also did not offer to give me a receipt for the transaction. Please monitor your employee as you will lose my business at this location and he could jeopardize your business with manners like this. read more

Had a great experience working with employee Ruben. Beyond professional and at closing time went above and beyond. He stayed 15min extra to get the hat embroidery right that the Escondido mall location struggled with. If you are in need of a true professional at customer service and embroidery Ruben is your man!!! Clean store with solid inventory. Highly recommend read more

Bought a Fitted hat (Christmas present) for my son. I said at the time I wasn't sure of the size & might need to exchange. Hasn't been 30days and I went in without receipt, but was able to show CC statement with transaction number. I just wanted a simple size exchange and I was refused outright. It Still had all the manufacture stickers and was un worn. It didn't have the price sticker - again, it was a Christmas present. I didn't create a scene or get into to words, the hat was only $48, but I left thinking, You can get a hat anywhere and even easier online - How a brick & mortar business can continue to run with this kind of service especially from a manager is beyond me. From the rating stars It looks like others have had problems here too - so, if the owner cares to read these you might have a problem. Ps: the new hat is coming tomorrow from Amazon. I did try to support local and will continue with other stores. . read more

I could believe this location is still open. The employee smelled like he belong in Amatadame

Customer service is Horrible. Their website is far better then this location. What a waste of a trip.... read more

Arrived at the store at 11:30 AM. It was supposed to open at 11 store was still closed gate down lights off with no employees in sight came back 30 minutes later they were just opening the gate as I walked by unemployment literally says to himself we haven't even turn the lights on yet and people want to buy things? I kid you not you are in a retail store why else to people come in and why are you opening a half hour late but more importantly thanks for this comment, instead of buying the hats, I was going to buy inside the store I simply tried the hat on found the right size ordered it online. It will be here tomorrow. This should make this employee happy. I don't know how you do businesses stay open when you can't open the doors on time and you make smart comments like this to customers and drive business back out the door I would never walk back into this location. I would go out of my way to go into the one at the outlet mall. read more

Closes at 8pm and gate is closed with employee on phone at 7:45pm, I understanding closing a store on time, but to sell a hat you should be open until the advertised time. read more

Very rude employee. They need to learn customer service. And learn to count. The sign says 7 customers at a time. I walked up. Counted. There was only 5. So I walked in. He rudely said. Can't you count. I said yes. The sign says 7 CUSTOMERS. there are 5. He said. Did you count the employees. I said no. Sign says CUSTOMERS. HE could have been polite. He didn't have to be a DICKK read more

Absolute garbage ... I'm a huge Lids customer and every time I go in there it takes forever to check out. Today went in and as their only customers there it took 10 minutes just to be checked out because he cared so much about opening boxes. After that it's been around 4 times they never ask about my membership so I always have to ask to I put my information for I can get my discount. This shouldn't be a thing! Always rude and for some reason their personal stuff is more important than a customer! Super inattentive! I don't mind it happening once or twice but this is every time I go there read more

Employees blasting obnoxious rap music, couldn't even hear them when i was asking question about their products!! No womens jersey selection either?! Next!!!! read more

I like the on-line merchandise but this review is for the Carlsbad store in the mall on El Camino Real. Everytime I call the line is busy, for hours. i don't think it's customers, it's the teenie bopper tieing up the line. When you go in,(I only pick up from on-line shipment now), they are rude, nonchalant, don't offer help. Worthless crew except the "guy". Worst customer service EVER! read more

was supposed to open at 10am and still nobody here at 11:10. second time this has happened to me with the store.

Horrible customer service as I was there looking at bucket hats the young lady started putting the hats I was looking at back on the rack, I was not finished making my choice. As I was also there a young lady walked in need help finding a hat for her child she had no clue how the fitted hats where sized and instead of the being help like suggesting a snap back or flex fit hat she was just pointed to kids hats and adults hats also person working there make no eye contact what so ever then the young man in the back office can out and said I'm late for my ten min break fuck. Really I've been shopping there for years might have to drive to esco instead of dealing with theses horrible ppl read more

Walked into Lids and we were not greeted. The 2 white women walked in and got a hearty "how are you ladies doing". Really?! You didn't think we're going to make purchases or what was it? Therefore, we went elsewhere to purchase all-black Atlanta Falcons & Braves caps. read more

I'm pretty sure the guy working was Tony, super helpful, I had a long beach state hat my brother got me in Orange County and figured I would need to back up there to exchange it. But he assured me it would be no problem when I called, and it wasn't. Thanks guys great experience and very friendly employees. read more

Absolutly love this store! Has plenty of hats to chose from and had a good vibe with great customer service! I had no idea what kind of hat to buy my husband for his birthday and the sales associate suggested a authentic padres hat and the young lady even guessed the right size! My husband loved! The mall is kinda empty but if your looking for hats this is the place to go! read more
