Payless ShoeSource

I came in to get shoes for my nine year old girl. There wasn’t as large of a selection as I have seen in other stores.
But the main reason why I give two stars is because of how incredibly PUSHY the lady at the register is. She told me I could get three pairs of socks half off and she wouldn’t stop pestering me! I ended up getting two just so she would shut up about it! She was pushing so hard it was actually quite uncomfortable. I’m already spending $ 70 here, please stop trying to upsell me after I have politely said no three times. I don’t need socks. If you want to make sales by wearing your patrons into the ground then good job. Mission accomplished. But my husband doesn’t need socks. I don’t need socks. And neither does my daughter. But I did get two pairs because she would stop the transaction to continue to pester me to buy the damn socks and wouldn’t continue to ring me up until she showed me multiple pairs.
I don’t know if all the employees here are as aggressive as she was, but there is a big difference between being a good sales person and being pushy and incessant.
I really felt like saying to her «no means no». I shouldn’t have to decline three, four or five times, only to be railroaded into buying something so my transaction can be finished.

This store surprised me today… with how clean & organized it was, and how nice & helpful the employees were. It was quite a refreshing experience to be honest.
Someone greeted me upon entry, which is so rare these days, and then they let me know that the BOGO ½ off sale was ending tomorrow. I took advantage of the sale and got two pairs of shoes for baby :)
Would def visit this store again, it’s ten times better than the mall location.
