Sent my e-mail. Just sharing it--don't copy it though...gotta make it look like en masse--a bunch of us able-bodied intelligient (sp?--how ironic!) women are boycotting their store.

Hello,

I just heard from a friend of mine of how she was horribly mistreated at your store in Valparaiso a couple of weeks ago. The actions of the employee towards my friend were appalling. To make statements such as "You do know this is a store that specializes in running shoes right?", calling John Bingham a “slow poke”, and to make glaring looks while trying to sell shoes is inappropriate. Many people of all sizes have completed half and full marathons and it is not up to the employees to make such hateful judgements of their customers. It is fine if you wish to offer your expertise—but it can be done in a much less elitist fashion.

The best advertising is by word of mouth—and my friend has shared her story with many and we will all be avoiding your store for its poor treatment of customers. We come in all different shapes and sizes and finish times with money to spend. It is unfortunate for you that we will be spending it elsewhere and encouraging our friends to do the same.

This is how ludicrous this guy is--I found some pics on their web-site and I just don't get his reasoning and need to have an elitist attitude.


Not good with my weight guesstimations--these are the pics I found on-line on their web-site. Nice hypocritical sales system they got going. So how did these people start out and prove their athleticism.

On the street, This woman would NOT look like an athlete--yet her pic is posted on their web-site b/c of course she is one..

Lisa,

Have I told you how much I you? Thanks for all your support!! I think that first picture is a picture of the **** and his wife.....I could be wrong. I tried not to look at the guy. Hard to believe he would be married to someone that weighs more than he does. (Not my thinking that it is wrong to do that mind you...he just gave me that impression)

I am so glad my SO loves me for who I am....big or thin.......it is SOOOOOOOOO what is on the inside.

Thanks again!! How is the back feeling these days? Hope you get that resovled quickly. You must be going stir crazy!!!
