Dude did seem like he was full of himself...but at least she knew they were airmaxes. People that work in these stores should at least be up on the names &nicknames of shoes...especially the retros. And in some shoe stores...it's been proven that the employees have NO CLUE.
Case in point...couple weeks ago, I wandered into my local finishline and was greeted by a female that worked there. I asked her if she knew when the Agassiswere dropping. She looked at me as if I was speaking french. I then said...I mean the Air Tech Challenge 2...is your store getting these? The girl said shedidn't know. That I should check back in a few days or so. I then responded with an "Ok...I'll check back cause Finishline is suppose to begetting the Agassis. As I turned to leave the store...a kid in the back of the store that heard me say the word "Agassi" hollared to me..."Yo,We got em right here." He had 2 pairs in his hands...and was just putting the shoes on the wall. I thought to myself..."Ain't this a @#$%...
I was just about to miss out cause this dizzy chick didn't know the name of a shoe...but the lil' youngin' did!!! My pair was bought with thequickness.
So...my opinion is...Anyone working to sell a product should have SOME knowledge of what they're selling. You as a consumer shouldn't be all snobby ornothing...but...it's not out of the norm to expect an employee in a shoe store to know something about shoes. They don't have to be a sneakergenius...but know the hot products. And don't gimme that..."oh it's not important " crap. It's their JOB to know this. Suppose Iwasn't in the store...and I would have called to get the 411 on those Agassis. I would still be home thinking that Finishline didn't drop em'yet...to have shorty tell it!!!
