      This was hands-down the most infuriating, unprofessional shopping experience Ive ever had. I came in to buy Hoka shoes and found four pairs sitting on a clearance table, all with 20% off tags clipped to them. I asked an employee to bring out my size they didnt have it, so I tried on multiple others, finally landing on a 12 wide that fit. I go to check out, and surprise: the discount doesnt apply.An employee tells me the discount is only for certain womens shoes then literally grabs random pairs from the back and tries to gaslight me. I take her to the clearance table to show her every pair is tagged dozens of shoes, all marked 20% off. She shrugs and says, Oh, those were mistagged. Nothing we can do. No apology, no accountability just pure condescension. She talks to me like Im an idiot for believing their own pricing tags.She then pushes me to sign up for their rewards program, saying Ill get $20 off. So I waste more time signing up, just to be told at checkout, again, that it doesnt apply to Hokas even though the coupon says nothing about exclusions. More time wasted, more attitude, more ********.I work retail. I know that when a company mislabels something, theyre supposed to honor it. But not here. Here, you get rude, dismissive employees who lie to your face, talk down to you, and waste your time with scams disguised as solutions. I left exhausted, disrespected, and ****** off and I still bought the shoes.This store is a disgrace. Dishonest marketing, zero customer service, and employees who act like theyre doing you a favor by s******* you over. Absolutely disgusting.

      I made an order and returned it. Order #***********. It was returned weeks ago and I have still not gotten a refund. I sent it back with the ***** label they provided me, #************. I have contacted them several times and they said to wait a month and if I still don't get a refund to contact them again. This is an absurd amount of time for a refund. Please refund my money.
