While on our babymoon, we went shopping for some new sneakers for Mr. Morgan. We wandered into an outdoorsy, sports store. For the first few minutes while we were there, we thought perhaps no one was working. We weren't greeted by a saleperson, and we didn't see anyone even after several minutes. Finally, we were approached and asked if we needed help. Mr. Morgan asked for a shoe to try on, and it took forever for the salesman to return. He returned empty-handed saying he did not have the exact size we sought. He then referred us to the online store, saying there were more sizes and colors online. While waiting, I saw this sign on display.
This sign was no joke--we felt this way while in the store! Why would they reinforce a negative part of their store's customer service? So, Mr. Morgan, fully prepared to buy shoes, wasn't even brought a similar style shoe to try. We did visit the Web site once we got back to our room, but the brand he wanted, Asics, wasn't even listed on the Web site.
We did end up buying shoes online; however, we used Zappos, a great shoe site with free overnight shipping both ways. As all little boys with new shoes, Mr. Morgan feels he runs faster in them, and he wants to wear them all the time. I put my foot down about wearing them to the Wilson-Hudson wedding coming up this weekend.
It's hard to wear the shoes out of the store when they're shipped to your house :-(
