Sports Direct

"Went into Eastleigh to visit a specialist sports shop who were unexpectedly closed early on NYE. Visited sports direct who were open the expected hours and received really good customer service and walked away with my new pair of running shoes."

"The teenagers they employ on the tills are extremely rude and act like they don't want to be at work. When I worked in retail and hospitality I put as much effort as I could in. Better training and recruitment needed pronto."

"There aren't always staff about to help but when there are they're happy to help. My only gripe is that they're always trying to get you to buy rubbish at the till by offering you all sorts of things you don't want."

"Sports Direct where the products are piled high and the prices are low. Everything is very good value (too good) which really does make you question is everyone in the chain being paid a fair wage (love to think they are but highly doubt it). This is a good size store easy to navigate round, and in general the staff are helpful and friendly (although I can't say any of them look like they really love their job or actually want to be there) At one point on a recent visit I waited so long that I thought I had gone to the Hard Rock Cafe in London! One member of staff serving and another folding clothes (totally understand that clothes need folding, but not sure that is something that should take place at the till, gives a poor customer service impression in my eyes). Was also lovely to hear the staff slagging off the customer who had made a comment about waiting (the very ugly side of human nature, fairly sure we all have or still do this) at the end of the day this is Sports Direct its cheap, occasionally friendly, and you can purchase a variety of items including the biggest mug in the world!"

"Not a great fan of SDs cramped outlets, especially with C19around. However I needed new tennis shoes & their prices are hard to beat High praise for Troy who'd service & friendly manner was excellent. Give him a bonus MIKE!"
