So I go to Footaction, and find a pair of shoes on clearance...
some Iverson sneakers, that were really cheap. So I go to the chimp that's
working there, "can I have this in a 13?", and he goes "that's the only size we
have" (a size 12). I try it on, and it's a bit tight (but not too bad), but
since it's a good deal, I go "ok, I'll take these".
The chimp goes to the back, comes back and says they dont have any of those in
the store... meanwhile, I'm holding the shoe in my hand. I give it to him to
take back with him for him to check again. And he comes back witout the shoe
this time, saying he doesn't have it. He tells the head chimp this time, who had
been on the phone the whole time, and he goes into the back, and comes out with
a size 7, saying that's all they have. I tell him I was just wearing the 12, and
ask him what happened to it, and so he checks yet again, and comes back wih the
same size 7 shoe. Am I to believe Reebok sent them only one shoe in the box?!
So I call to complain, and it's a Sunday, so no one's there. I call back on
Monday, and get a machine then too. I'm not sure if Footaction has a customer
complaint line, actually - probably just an answering machine. If they can't
handle customer complaints, they're gonna lose all sorts of customers without
knowing it. And the monkeys working in the store are only interested in watching
the rap videos on the tv screens. I'm never going back to Footaction again.
