This place needs to fire everyone. I pulled up in my car with a family member to get some shoes & before we got out the car we sat in the parking lot to finish smoking our cigarette. As we are sitting smoking our cigarette and talking, we see a car pull up and park and three guys jump out.
All 3 guys were no older than 20-23 at most . Talk g loud, speaking Spanish. (I also speak Spanish) They LITERALLY went in & came out within 3-4 minutes carrying several boxes of shoes. About 3 boxes each. I flicked my cigarette & opened my door & said "wtf" with my arms up (but I said it in Spanish slang) and the last guy stopped. He just froze. Then the other 2 guys were getting in their car really fast & one of them said to the frozen guy "just hurry up come on move it" (in Spanish)
I went inside the store with my family member & IMMEDIATELY NOTICED NO ONE WAS AROUND. Like literally no one, I had to yell out "hello" and someone came from the back, I asked the guy immediately "did 3 guys just come in here & buy several boxes of shoes?" He looked at me & said "when?" And I said "literally just now, did you sell like 5 or so boxes of shoes?" He said "oh no, we haven't sold anything like that, it hasn't been busy" and that's when I said "well 3 guys JUST NOW walked out of here with a bunch of boxes of shoes" ....and do you know what this man said to me and my family member?!?! (my family member was also chiming in on what we saw)
He said "yeah that happens a lot" with the most oh well look and tone in his voice. This is a store manager being completely nonchalant. I'm not saying he should have ran into the back dressing room and changed out into his Superman outfit and then ran out the store to try to find the guys, I'm not saying that at all. But the least he could've done was say something in a tone or in a way that would have relayed that he was going to take the matter seriously.. like AT LEAST ACT LIKE U GIVE A DAMN.
At that same exact moment, guess who walked in ?? The ARMED SECURITY GUARD! My family member immediately walked up to the arm, security guard and said to him what had happened. This security officer (who barely spoke English) shrugs his shoulders & said "what can you do huh" . Nothing about looking at the cameras to get the pictures of them men to possibly ID them or or get the license plate of the car that they took off in. Nothing about making a report just nothing at all.. it was like they just didn't give a damn.
In family owned businesses I noticed that they will put up the pictures of the faces of the people who steal. That's because they want to make sure the thieves know they were found out & they can't come back in or risk getting the police called to charge them with the previous crime.
I'm guessing that this establishment doesn't have those kind of people working for them . So they don't care when thieves come in and steal stuff even if it amounts to $1000 worth of shoes being stolen.. because all those boxes were Nikes so I'm sure it was pretty expensive..
I don't plan on ever going back to the store. I don't feel like I should spend any money in an establishment with people like that working there.. in fact, I think the thieves knew they would get away & I'm pretty sure that's not the first time or the last time that they will go there to steal more shoes. read more
