    The staff at this store went out of their way to be aggressive and rude. I dropped my validated parking ticket while shopping, and the young lady with teal hair yelled at me and treated me like a freeloader and a thief when I came back to ask if anyone had found it. They had found it, but by the time they bothered to pay attention to us, we had overstayed the limit and had to pay for parking. $10 just for lack of simple human courtesy.

    This location is standard. Prices are not as good as they used to be- clearance is barely marked down!! One of the only spots I can stand shoe shopping in
