I love Betts (mostly for their sales) but I often find coming into the Hobart store I get ignored…read morewhile browsing. I hate that. All I need is for someone to check in and ask if I need any help. If I'm browsing, I'll say I'm browsing, but often I go in with a specific objective and so yes, I do need some help, thank you!

Lisa knows her Docs. She's been wearing them forever, and even the boys will defect to her knowledge of finding the best style and fit for your needs.

I went into Allgoods Hobart last Saturday. The 2 male staff didn't give me a friendly greeting as…read moreI walked in the store. I walked around the store for about 5-10 minutes. They didn't acknowlege me at all until I was nearly leaving the store. The older of the two staff members asked if he could help me with anything in particular.
