Sunglass Hut At Play

The staff there was wonderful!
They took the time to assist me, adapting their recommendations to my style (head).
I wasn’t rushed, nor hurried. They worked at my pace and found just what I was looking for.

In my experience, Sunglass Hut is not the place to go if you are a person who is active/​sporty and knows exactly what you want. Most often, these chain stores do not employ people who know or care about eyewear, and no wonder with the rate of minimum wage I’m sure they pay. So, it really surprised me when I even stepped foot in this location.
What caught my eye was the «at play» branding. I walked in, was warmly greeted, and told the person helping me that «I know exactly what I want, but I am not sure if it really exists or if you havet it. Can you tell me if it does?» I told him exactly what I was looking for (cute girly glasses that are polarized but NOT gradated and have enough coverage/​darkness to protect my eyes and something that fits my nose). Immediately he showed me three pairs that fit my specifications and launched in to more information about sunglasses than I knew existed.
At one point, I interrupted him and told him that I was not going to be buying anything today, that this was just a recon mission, but he was fine with that. He continued to share with me why other glasses in the past hadn’t worked for me and why the three different styles he had showed me would work for me based on my needs and troubles in the past. He wrote down the style numbers of each and told me that I could either order through him, or encouraged me to go online and try to find them for cheaper. He said that the aim of this particular store was to make sure that customers were outfitted with proper eyewear and that he didn’t care where it came from. This really surprised me. I ended up staying in there about 30 minutes talking to him, and on my way out, I asked if I could speak with the manager, or was he the manager. He was the manager, who’s name is Brennan, and I thanked him profusely. He is now my personal sunglass shopper and I will be returning to purchase said sunglasses once my next paycheck arrives.
Also of note, the other employees in the store are very nice and friendly. AND they play awesome music.
