they got better later on, but I'm talking about 03-05 right around when they first got started. Some of their employees were straight up douches. I'm not talkin about them not greeting customers cause I can careless about that, but they would look at their customers in a weird way. Sort of like how if someone was dressed super bummy and walked into louis vuitton and got the " oh he don't got money for this" look from the sales associate.

Like yeah theyre closing down the store but theyre still eating and hes doing it so he can focus on his brand. The hell is so sad about it?
Its not like they filed for bankruptcy or something..
I'll never understand why people get but hurt over this.
Don't get it either. What's with dudes needing to be coddled by retail employees?
It's called customer service.

Why do you think Upper Playground is still in business after all these years?
Maybe because their customer service is, whether you're wearing
your $500 Supreme HIs your mommy bought you or some K-Swiss classics
with the sliding color changes on the side, don't matter to them.
HUF workers, calm down, ya'll work in a shoe store.
Co-sign. Upper Playground cats always been mad chill.
Big fan of this brand. I'm from Chicago though so I don't have any experience with the employees. Nice to hear this.

Truly the end of an era.. for Huf SF. But Huf as a brand continues to thrive and flourish. I miss the days of all 3 Sutter shops most of all, they really defined the San Francisco streetwear/sneaker experience. I am a Keith Hufnagel fan first and foremost for skateboarding, and then once he opened his retail boutiques, he did some amazing things that none of us could even imagine. Now he and the Huf crew are onto the next thing that is right for their company, maybe not as much noise as a 100-person lineup for a Nike, but quietly making a mark through wholesale.
San Francisco is still alive and strong as ever, do not get it wrong. Why don't we look to our good man Mike Brown and TRUE for example, holding down the game forever and not going anywhere. Black Scale has brought a new element and light to SF. Benny Gold? An SF icon at this point. I personally long for the days in the City of Red Five, Rolo, and Recon. When those stores closed down, people said the same thing but then a new generation of brands (including ours) moved in and have carried on a tradition.
RIP to HUF in SF. But always looking forward to what the Bay has got up its sleeve, home of true cultural purveyors. So.. who's next???

i actually like when employees leave me alone. i don't care if they say hi either. i'll ask for help if i need it.
