Preciate the help homie. the manager was just being a prick. She talked dwon to me the whole time and refused to make eye contact or acknowledge the fact that we were having a conversation. That's where most of my annoyance comes from. Wasn't really feeling her nonchalant attitude and complete lack of customer service. I worked in customer service for years and i took pride in trying to helps folks out. Of course i can't expect great CS from a sneaker establishment, but I'm also not the bad guy for wanting the kicks. They were ON DISPLAY and had already sold pairs just a couple mins earlier.
Sidenote: same thing happened to me on saturday at another urban retailer in Baltimore. Manager apologized that he couldn't sell em early like the PG plaza store (right near DC) had but he'd hold em for me til Sat 7th (this was before they changed the RD to 11/12). He even had a sales associate write my name on the box. Although i gotta drive to Bmore, i dont mind, just didn't wanna take the chance of missing out in case this store sold em on the 7th.
