What the hell?

Sports UnAuthority

Sucks.

I hate them.

I've now been to two and am convinced complete morons work there.

No, wait. I almost forgot. We purchased our bikes in SD from Sports Idiots....and they had one of the absolute rudest sales people ever. (The guy dumped as soon as he saw an asian family thinking he smelled a nice commission. Dumas didn't realize we were ready - and armed- to spend $500 a piece. Instead the bro purchased a bike which they proceeded to ring up using an incorrect model number. Uh, two hundred dollars in his favor. Suckers. I opted to wait for another store.)

Anyhoo - I hate Sports Idiots b/c they are *so* not helpful if you're looking for merchandise sold on the .com version of their company.

At first I chalked the "I dunno" responses to lower paid staff employees.

But then I met the managers.

Oof.

Words that came out of their mouths:

• "We don't sell the same stuff as Sports Authority online. Plus you can't return anything you buy there here, so there's no point in talking to us."
  
• "Why do you want to buy that stuff? There's no where to use it around here."
  
• "If you can't find it on a shelf, than we don't have it. And there's no point in asking us, because we're not going to look in the back."
  
• "We don't have a master database to compare stock inventory across stores. And no - we won't call other stores for you. Like I said before, go look on the shelf."
