We visited this establishment last weekend and were appalled by the disgraceful customer service we received. It all started when we observed our daughter being mistreated by the cashier after she requested a pair of shoes in her size. We observed the cashier belittling our 16 year old daughter and proceeded to intervene. We asked for a manager and that's when we were shocked by what happened next.
We explained what transpired to the manager Noah, expecting him to "manage" the situation, but he had the audacity to responded saying "I didn't see what happened so...". He shrugged his shoulders and further stated "I'm sorry you feel that way but I didn't see what happed so there's nothing I can do about it". We patiently explained the situation again and his response was the same.
We instructed our daughter to put the shoes back because we will never spend another dime in Shoe Palace. At this point the manager reared his disrespectful attitude and stated "don't ever come back here again".
Frustration set in for us at this point as we followed him to the cash register and asked for his name. He refused to give us his name and also protected the young lady who disrespected our daughter as both of them vanished to the back of the store and refused to come out and deal with the unfortunate incident. We demanded his manager's name and he refused to provide that information as well.
Another employee at this point saw what was going on and called one of the other managers to handle the situation. He was very helpful, apologized for the incident and provided us the name of the other manager, Noah, who was overly disrespectful to our family.
I'm not sure what type of training these managers/employees receive but they need some serious training because we will never, and I repeat, never do business with Shoe Palace again. You have lost very valuable customers!! Our family has given a lot of business to SP, but the disrespect and unprofessionalism we endured this trip has permanently cancelled any future business with Shoe Palace. We will also encourage our vast network to NEVER shop at this establishment.
I hope SP's corporate team engages with this location sooner rather than later because this seems to be a trend based on the other disappointing reviews written about this location. I highly recommended replacing this VERY inexperienced, rude, and obnoxious manager with someone competent. I also recommend personnel training for the entire staff and that ALL EMPLOYEES WEAR NAME TAGS. I also recommend a point of contact outside the store in the event future customers encounter this level of disrespect and lackluster customer service. read more
