Columbia is a good brand with great products, but the staff at this location seems a bit out of touch of the products they sell. I live nearby, so I go to this mall often and shop at this store regularly, I've noticed that I know more about their products than the floor staff does. But it really doesn't bother me, as I know what I am looking for and don't need their help.
I was really upset last time when I went there to return a product. The coat was purchased two days ago and I had the sales receipt, the item with all tags attached, and my credit card that I used for the purchase. I set them all on the counter and asked for a refund. The person's name tag at the counter showed that he was the store manager. He looked at the receipt and asked to see my credit card slip. I told him that I had left it at home. He insisted that I have to show the credit card slip. I was furious and had a short argument with him, he kept calling me "sir', but in a sarcastic manner and told me that I shouldn't raise my voice, as the camera is recording my voice and actions. I wasn't sure what it meant, but I felt like I was threatened. Still unconvinced, I grabbed everything and left the store to go home and get the cc slip, along the way I called the Columbia customer service and told the lady about what happened. She said that all they would need are my sales receipt, the product with tags and the credit card that was used for the purchase, the rest of the information is already on the sales receipt. In any case, I got the cc slip from my home and returned back to the store. I told him about my conversation with the customer service. He said that the customer service wouldn't know he retail store rules and went on with the refund. This was not a satisfactory answer either. Regardless, I got my refund and left the store with bad feelings. Have I lived far away, I wouldn't have been able to go home and get the cc slip. I've never gone back to this shop since.
