Dick’s Sporting Goods

When it comes to big sports stores, Dicks is my favorite. Clean store, lots of staff, helpful, and a variety of quality sporting good brands. However, when it comes to running shoes I refer the small running stores.

Well they definitely call it Dicks for a reason. The sales associate from the shoe department was extremely rude. I asked him a question about a coat and his response was «I don’t know I work in the shoe department and I’m looking for something for myself.» and instead of him going to find somebody that can actually help me, he continued to shop for him self, while on the clock. Therefore I am taking my business elsewhere. Thanks for nothing dicks.

I went to Dick’s for an archery target. At checkout, the clerk refused to ring up the sale unless I provided proof of age (I’m 60). She said it was required because the target could be used with a «weapon».
I checked with the manager on duty, and confirmed that’s Dick’s policy, although in my experience no other sporting retailer does this. I find it an offensive invasion of privacy, and just wanted to let anyone know who might feel the same. I didn’t realize Dick’s was hostile to hunters and shooters.
I left Dick’s, went down the street to WalMart and bought a nicer target for $ 20 less.

This is my first bad review to write. I even waited till today just to make sure I wasn’t mad any longer but I still am. I’m not really a Dick’s shopper, I’ll go to sports academy any day cause I love their prices and customer service… This was my 2^nd trip to Dick’s cause I couldn’t find Vball shoes any place else…
I thought I’d give them another try after my first visit wasn’t that great. When my child and I went to the shoe dept both of the people working over there acted as if I wasn’t there. They did this to me when I first came to the store and left. They all the sudden both go in the back before asking if we needed help, or anything. We couldn’t find the shoes were looking for so we waited a bit. After it was apparent they were not going to come back out I go to the back room ask start calling for someone. They acted as if I was bothering them.
I didn’t think any place would let the only two people that worked in a dept go on break at the same time so I didn’t feel wrong in having to go back there. He was very rude to us and from the door just pointed where the shoes were. I asked once more because I had no idea where he was talking about and he’s darts over there huffing and puffing cause he had to show us. Didn’t ask us a size or anything. Just said these shoes are over there and you can just find your size… I was pissed. Him and the other guy that was working there both came back out but again. nothing. didn’t ask if we were ok needed help or anything…
They leave again and we found the shoe we wanted but of course it was the one on display and it wasn’t the one on display where we were. So here I go again back to the back and ask for the shoe. He had the nerve to say, we’ve just made this to hard for you. If I didn’t need these shoes we would of left at that point…
After going to check out the lady up front didn’t say hello, did you find everything ok, just acted rude like us coming to her line was our worst mistake. She just called out the price I owed, not have a good day or anything…
This WILL be my last visit to this store. I left saying to myself, The people at Dick’s are staying true to their stores name. If that’s what they are going for, they have it down perfect…
