I said "good morning" and all she did was turn away from me to a work colleague and starts talking about a text she got from someone...? It's early so I ignore the little snot and keep going. After 10 minutes of looking at work out gear I head to the washroom. As I'm walking up to the gents I hear a "need a key", I look around and see 2 supervisors standing bitching about a customer. The guy looks at me again and says "yeah BUD, you need a KEY!" I respond "thanks where do I find the..." I get completely cut off as he, without looking at me says "pro shop" (clearly very annoyed)! At this point I've already decided that I will NEVER set foot in this retail outlet again. I use the washroom and return the key. As I'm walking out I say to said Snot "have a good day" to which she loudly responds..... "YIP"! Holy Shit!? As I sit in the parking lot writing this I'm still in shock at how I was treated! Never will National Sports get another dime from me!

I've visited Garb and Gear more times than I could count. Only twice have I ever been able to make…read morea purchase, on account of the fact that they NEVER have anything in stock. Only thing I've bought there was a Jays Tshirt. Always shopping in season for gear for hockey soccer and baseball. Needed hockey pucks once, out of stock. Soccer shin guards? Out of stock. Went in today, looking for practice baseballs. Would've accepted any baseball. No staff came to help until I signalled for one, despite having three employees standing around chatting on the floor. Asked if they had baseballs. The woman who was working motioned to a tiny basket of softballs on the floor and said that's all they have. Didn't seen very interested in the customer, even though I was the only customer in the shop. The management is routinely rude to customers, and the staff generally seem to just not care. I'm never wasting my time walking there again. I'll just drive to sport check in London next time.

Before…read moreI was walking out, what seems like a manager was super impatient and asked if I'm buying anything or not in a threatening tone. You know I would go out a lot faster if there were someone around to help me? Or you can just tell me the operation hours for tomorrow nicely to send customers on their way out...?

Crappy service. Several staff totally ignored my husband and I while we waited for service in the…read moreshoe department. One clerk said that someone would be "right over," but nearly ten minutes later, nothing. We left and spent our money at New Balance. Later that week I followed up with an email to corporate and received a canned auto-response from the Customer Servicebot: "We are sorry you feel that our service did not meet your expectations..." I replied to that and said, wow, thanks for the canned response. The reply this time? "We are sorry that you feel our response was canned..." LOL, no thanks, Sport Chek.

Awesome store. It's huge. Much better selection that the store in Pickering…read more The stuff is super friendly and helpful! We came at the end of the day on the New Year's eve and I forgot my purse when I was leaving. I only realized when I was on my way home when they called my husband's cell from my cell phone. Although the store was already closed, they waited for us to come back and pickup the purse. So very grateful. Awesome-awesome people!

The Big K needed a hockey stick which would, unbeknownst to me, require a lot of cash and plenty of…read moretime to research things like flex and feel. Ho hum. Not my idea of shopping. So the Big K headed in first while I went to Dollarama nearby to waste some time. How long could buying a hockey stick take? I finally had to enter National Sports to investigate the Big K's disappearance and within record time I was greeted by a very friendly salesperson who not only found The Big K for me, but three perfectly wonderful, very expensive hockey sticks that could significantly improve The Big K's game (and in sum total cost more than my dishwasher.) After much careful consideration, The Big K finally settled on "just one" (thank goodness) from this neatly organized and well-stocked store. I rushed the Big K with stick in hand to the check-out (in an effort to prevent him from buying anything else.) Even the cashier was super-charming and personable and made paying the large bill less painful. Final words: bring lots of cash. This store is conducive to shopping.
