Customer service doesnt exist here. Jaslene was our cashier…read more The transaction experience was awful. My husband had a little sticker shock at the register for the 26 lb weight we were buying. He took a moment because he thought it was a little less online. When he asked "and that's the total with tax?". Normally you hear back a confirmation but instead she said no with tax it's $73.62. Mind you we were at the register to pay not for a price check. My husband was looking at his phone and she blurts out "you want it or not?". We told her yes but I had to explain to her he is just taking a moment to look up the price. Normally someone at the register gives the total price when purchasing not sub total. I walked away once my husband got the receipt and was already a good ways away from the register and she yells out "Good Bye!" In the most patronizing tone. It was the cherry on top for this review. We are all human and can do better but this right here is why online shopping and self check out is putting cashiers out of jobs. Maybe she should remember that the next time she wants to be unjustifiably rude and try to make people feel less than with "you want it or not?". So if you want your intentions to be buy something rudely questioned in front of other guests than this is the place and Jaslene is your go to.

The last time I was in this Dick's was December 23rd, 2024, doing the same exact thing. I feel like what I'm supposed to say here is "I need to be better about Christmas shopping ahead of time," but I'm so tired of just saying what I am supposed to say. I'm going to start saying how I feel, no matter the backlash. Truth is, every time I finish the last-minute-panic-shopping, I come out extremely proud of what I've gotten. This year again, they were almost all hits. Shoutout to Dick's Sporting Goods. They are always there for me in the Holiday crunch time. I'll see you December 23rd, 2026.

It's different from their REI outlet items because these are all final sale. The inventory always changes based on what items have been returned. REI's generous 100% satisfaction guaranteed return policy-that stuff that has been used and then returned that can be restocked/sold in the normal retail store? That stuff ends up here. It's a great way to reduce waste. You can find tents, sleeping bags, hiking poles, shoes, clothes, cycling gear, pretty much anything can end up here. The discounts are priced based on the condition of the item. This is the thrift store of REI gear and it's amazing.

During that time, I wasn't curious enough to walk through the doors; I just chalked it up as another brand-new nice-ass spot to ignore as I walked by after hittin' at the beach all day (doing street shows, the best one on da beach alongside Uba-Uba, Mr Animation, & Calipso Tumblers, of course [Big ups to Harry Perry & Hercule's]. Anyways, I walked in a few days ago bc it was one of the only things I recognized. After donating all my decks and snapping the only one I kept in half, I wasn't trying to buy another one - so I'm very grateful I was able to, and did. Skated everyday since three days ago, and I feel the most genuine to myself I have in a while for doing so (exponentially affecting productivity). Thank you Nick!

I really enjoyed my visit to Arbor in Venice. There was a sale of shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies…read morefrom the former San Diego store with such a nice selection of designs and sizes. The store is remarkable and serves the Board community well. The thing about Arbor over other sporting goods type stores is that the products designed and materials used follow strict sourcing requirements to reduce the impact to earth. I got my first Arbor shirt at REI over 20 years ago and have been an avid follower of their products. I ended up buying several sweatshirts and hoodies which were embroidered or printed in very cool fashion. All the items I purchased were 50 percent off and are of great quality. The cashier and main employee was really nice, as we had nice conversations about our dogs and how she got into boarding. With such nice savings, I'll be back for value priced summer clothing in the next few months.

They're also very understanding when it comes to working within a budget, which help me pick out my gear.
