Play It Again Sports
Store Owner Yelled at Me for Advising Coach on Prices

Miscellaneous

The owner of the company was unbelievably rude on February 20th. I was shopping with my two sons at the beginning of spring, looking for some good deals on baseball equipment. I happen to coach a youth baseball team. While I was looking at the bat section, another gentleman walked in and was interested in buying some practice baseballs. I politely asked him what he needed them for. He explained that he too was a baseball coach in a neighboring city and that this was his first year coaching. I gave him the advice that I would go to Academy Sports to buy practice balls, since you can pick them up for around 1.00 each vs. the 2.00 Play It Again was charging. I told him that over the course of the season the kids will lose the balls or take them home or whatever, and either way I wouldn't spend too much money on practice balls. He nodded and thanked me for the sound advice.

Within a minute of me speaking with this coach, a guy from behind the counter (30 feet away from where we were standing) came running to me, yelling that I should not tell his customers to go somewhere else for a better price. He said that I was taking business away from him and money out of his pocket. Shocked at this point, I said, "Are you kidding me, buddy? The guy coaches a little league team, so do I. What's wrong with giving him some good advice on how to save a few dollars?" The employee again yelled and told me that I should go to the parking lot if I wanted to give advice to his customers. Since my two young kids were with me, I obviously took the high road and left the store.

Please do not ever shop at this store. I know Play It Again Sports lost at least one customer for life, and I suspect at least one more would be the other coach I was speaking with. It's obvious that this store owner cares more about his pocketbook than trying to help out the community and its youth.
