    Store front pre-opening for the day, Sunday 28 January 2024.
    Tanis L.

    After wearing down the soles on my pair of Under Armour running shoes and receiving a gift certificate from my aunt at Christmas to Road Runner Sports, I made my way into the store today, Sunday 28 January 2024, to see about getting a new pair. Heading in, I was unsure/did not have preferences for a certain brand of shoe (I had noticed in online offerings no Under Armour options). I arrived a few minutes before opening and spotted a few birds in a tree watching me. I asked them about Swedish runner Arne Andersson (former world record holder in the 1 mile run) and they convinced me my purchase of the day should be in the spirit of him. Once the lights were turned on and the door unlocked, I went over and entered the store. A couple of workers were inside the entrance and I was asked if I had shopped here before, which was a no, and then I was asked if I was here for shoes, which was a yes. A helpful and friendly worker, Samantha, took me through the fitting process, which included measurements such as arch height, foot width, foot length, and foot/ankle/lower leg flexibility. I was active for some of the measurements, including walking on a treadmill so video footage could be collected of my Achilles in motion. Following measurements, I went to the area with the shoes and tried on four different options recommended from the fitting and picked out by the worker. I liked all of them (Brooks Ghost 15, Brooks Launch 10, Brooks Levitate 6, and a Saucony option), and selected the Brooks Launch 10 for my purchase of the day. There was ample space to pace in the shoes and get a feel for each when I was trying them on. Payment with my gift certificate was straightforward. The price was excellent per my experience ($100-$110 pre-tax range). Only drawback of my experience was that I came about 10 a.m. on a non-rainy Sunday in January. Most street parking was full, lost of residents parked as not at work for the day, and I ended up parking on Sunnyside, about 0.4 miles away. Though, it served as a healthy reminder I was buying the shoes to be used for this very reason... walking (and running).

    Have been shopping road runner sports for a long time and the service is why I continue to come back. I recently went in to return two pairs of hokas that didn't fit and my wife and I were greeted by Davyonn. He quickly asked what I didn't like about the shoe and recommended options. I fully intended on just returning the shoes but Davyonn was very excited to show me a couple options. I settled on a pair of new balances, he noticed my wife's brooks were looking a little run down and he offered her options as well. He took time, was attentive but also did a good job greeting and setting up other clients with associates . At no point did the sale feel pushy and we ended up leaving with 3 pairs of new shoes . I think this is a great example of turning a return into a positive experience. I can tell he has a true passion for the product and is a great representative of what I think retail is often lacking! Will be doing all my shopping in store with Davyonn going forward .

After patronizing this place for a while, I was asked not to come back to this store. Naturally I was curious as to why they would do this to a repeat customer. I was told that I had made an employee uncomfortable- by flirting with them!! I was gobsmacked as to why anyone would think that. I'm a talker- I talk to everyone I meet the same way, but this person thought I was flirting with them. Perhaps they have too much main character energy to think that. Perhaps they found my chattiness annoying- not everyone is going to be delighted by me- but why, WHY would they not just tell me they were busy and couldn't talk? Did they feel they were being held hostage? I saw Standard Goods as a neighborhood spot. Keep in mind I wasn't camping out at the store; I'd say my average visit was -20 minutes, and I wasn't there frequently. This just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm forced to consider the possibility they felt ill at ease around me due to my disablity- I'm legally blind and my eyes look different, some people aren't comfortable with that that's their problem. Even if that's not the case, it still really hurt when they asked me not to come back. What is this, high school? Yes, I cried. They made me feel like my presence was a nuisanc. It left an impact. question whether people want me around. There were so many other ways they could have dealt with it and at the same time keep in mind that I was a customer with feelings. I get the distinct sense that they don't care about customers or the community. It's good for managers to take their employees' concerns seriously- Just not like this. Maybe they are extremely nonconfrontational, yet there must have been another way to addrss this without banning me from the store.

After a number of emails back and forth, they were not able to send me the original mailing receipt which is required to file a claim with USPS, so it seems unlikely I'll get anything from the claim anyways. They even gave me a "tip" that I should look into getting a secure mailbox, as if that would prevent an empty box from being delivered in the first place. In the end, I spent $140 for a box with nothing more than tissue paper and promotional material. Oh, did I mention they generously offered to send me the products again if I pay 60% more than I already paid? Thanks, but definitely not going to throw more money in your direction only to lose it again. Update: Just to clarify, this is not a case of mailbox theft...I was physically delivered an empty box by the carrier. There is always risk involved with shipping, and as the shipper, it's your responsibility to ship in a way that reasonably reduces risk and puts shipping liability on the carrier. Since you put more than $100 of your product in a box that's only covered for up to $100, you put the risk on the customer. I can't possibly be refunded now. You also could have reduced risk within reason by not advertising on the outside of the box that there is jewelry inside.
