I called ahead, and asked if they sold Washington State Parks Discover Passes. Yes! says the…read moreperson who answered the phone. So, on a dark and rainy Puyallup night I drove to their store. The first clerk I asked to sell me a pass fumbled around and could not log into a computer. He made an odd, childish sounding call to another clerk. That person came and the two of them would have been comical to watch, if not so sad. After about 5 minutes, clerk 2 called his manager. I had the dubious please of listening to first questions about the computer ( I could tell it was not good news of some type), then a long conversation about sales, socks and things the clerk was to do. It was very clear the customer standing awkwardly in their store was not important. So, after the call, I'd been in the store 10-15 minutes. The clerk addresses me, while looking down and to his left, like he was afraid of me. I had NOT said a single word at this point. He gave a long-winded excuse, this was a known issue, they had submitted tickets, they simply had to call the state and get it fixed. I simply said OK and left to find another store and by my pass. This store needs training and a manager shake up. To not post the computer was broke (so I would not drive there in the first place), to not notify staff, to not care about the customer standing there while they were talking socks and sales.... Everything that is wrong about retail training and service is endemic to this store.

They always have good prices and quality of shoes, and UNLIKE Target, they have Men shoes! Yay! They also have a good selection of camping stuff, hunting, and fishing and whatever else a active outdoor life needs :) I do think this store has real friendly and helpful employees as well.

I was met by two very informative friendly young men and we had good discussions about what might be the best options for me . I felt zero ageism and zero 'oh it's a woman' vibes that I have noted at other shops. The two fellows I talked to were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I'm shopping here from now on!

The cashier (I didn't get her name) was able to look up my item that didn't have a tag and didn't make me feel guilty for being an inconvenience (you'd be surprised how often that happens in places, not just no tag merchandise but in general for shopping at their establishment)

Then I decided to go back in today and give it another shot. After waiting for about 20 minutes someone came over and scanned the shoes I wanted. I waited for over a half hour to have someone bring them out and nothing. I stopped a service person and asked if I was still on the list for the shoes I wanted - then was told that they couldn't find the other one....and he also said " I'm surprised nobody told you" . so I waisted over an hour just trying to buy a pair of shoes. I then went into the mall a few doors down and bought a pair. The service is awful.... I tried 2 times and both times I received no service; I won't be going back. That system does not work!
