Since people were talking about all the shady business that goes down at the San Leandro Clearance store, I decided to leave my feedback on the surveys they tell you to fill out. This was my second time leaving this sort of feedback.
On my last visit, I witnessed an employee who had just helped me with some shoes, purchase I few things while I was in line. He had a bag full of stuff like elite socks that weren't their anymore in that colorway and some sunset air max 95s I think. The girl who helped him checkout at the cash register made every effort to make sure none of the stuff came out of the bag. She rung everything up while it was hidden in the bag but some stuff like the elite socks fell out along with the shoes. This caught my attention and I was thinking to myself here they go again pulling some shady stuff. Then their was a guy who was supposedly the manager at the time and he said something to the guy buying the stuff along the lines of that it was against company policy to hold things. He said it subtly but I was nearby so I heard him.
I decided that I was definitely going to write about this when it came time to the survey and so I did. Well the manager of the store responded via email and this is what she had to say:
"Thank you for visiting our San Leandro Clearance Store. I appreciate you taking the time to share your comments and concerns.

Haha yea right. I have the contact number of one of the employees that I met off of Craigslist for some shoes and I recognize that he works there. He has told me he can hold shoes but for upwards of $50 a pair. This was a long time ago by the way. He stopped hitting me up since he probably seen me at the store quite a few times haha. Plus he would always hit me up for shoes that I didn't want at all. I'm not going to single him out since I know he isn't the only one who does this. Plus I feel it's not my position to do so.
I know this isn't necessarily and update for the thread so if the mods feel the need to erase/move it then it's all good. Just thought I would let you guys know wassup.
