Went to Vancouver MacArthur outlet. Lots of good samples for $24.95 before 30% f&f discount.

Jordan premium futures in chocolate and black leather cw were $299.99. Wind racers ranged from $69.99 (blue) to $154.99 (black). Size small only for light grey tech fleece shorts. Nike pro fitted t shirts were $19.95

Employees were really nice. Gave me a f&f card when I asked. No problems at all

I called my buddy @ corporate and he said they are being lazy.

None the less they just messed with the wrong dude.

I took each of the "nike atheletes" names that I dealt with and handed them over to my friend.

Looks like a few people will be without a job tonight.

I was priceless when I was asking for their names and they asked why...When I said I'm with corporate, one person changed her tune and said she could do the phone order, I said no thank you.  You could hear her voice tremble, LOL.

Good for you. These lazy employees need to do their job or be without one. It's not that hard.
 
Just ran around Orlando Kissimmee area to the factory/clearance stores and nothing noteworthy. The small one off 535 had De La lows for 89. Lots of Lebron 13's for 109-119. Going to hit the I Drive Clearance and Premium Outlet on the way home from work to see if they got anything new. Very disappointing F&F so far.

This lowkey pisses me off. I work at a Nike outlet, and people fail to realize that on weekends we a super busy, and of ALL weekends you decide to call on a F&F weekend. I worked last night, the first day of F&F, and we literally had 4 people working the whole store for the last 3 hours. If I step off the floor to conduct a phone order, that takes from the help that is needed for in-store customers, where they are priority. Phone orders aren't mandatory at all stores, and honestly depends on who the store manager is.

From the business aspect, the time I can do one phone order, I can ring out 3 in-store customers, who I am MORE likely to get repeat business from, versus a customer who probably is a one and done.

IDK why some feel entitled to phone orders when there are PLENTY of others business that don't ship certain items due to demand or time period.

Not all outlets are busy.

My local outlet was & still is completely dead.

The girl that rang me up yesterday could not believe what was going on across the nation.

Maybe so J, but if some will and some won't something is up, policy or not.

you can hear it in their voice, they hate their jobs.....

you are coming off as real insensitive to these people IMO.
ive heard the stories from a head coach over the years and the direction to NOT allow for phone orders was from above their pay grade. intimidating them for a phone order is pretty grimy in my opinion.
this false perception that these employees are too lazy to do phone orders is just absurd. the order comes from above and is trickled down from the management level and they are just doing what they are told. you are definitely better than that.
 
Nike Ivy City DC- Tech fleece pants grey pairs and black and grey camo pairs just got put on the clearance rack

Didn't see anything worth buying at Leesburg earlier and Potomac just now...

I need to go to Williamsburg to meet a friend tonight so will stop by but doubt anything good will be there as I have yet to see anything worth buying at this store. If I don't buy anything, ill give my F&F up for someone who has better merchandise than my local outlet stores. Really wish I can find ASG Kobe XI's like lots of folks that have posted here.

Is there a policy against doing phone orders for Jordan retro?  Someone told me they are considered launch product so they cannot  be purchased over the phone.

BigJ feel free to delete this, I just wanted to comment on this.

I second this comment. I work in retail, not going to say where, but I hate when people who aren't even in corporate threaten us with the "I know so and so from corporate." As if we are supposed to serve them better than the other customers inside of the store. You're not that person, you don't work in corporate, you're basically just another customer. Trust me not everyone loves their job, especially since myself and a majority of workers at these type of stores are, we're teenagers and young adults, we'd rather be doing something else. But to threaten to take away their job because you didn't get a pair of shoes you want is just petty. The younger crowd tends to work there because they just want to get work experience and get some pocket change to go out and pay student loans. There's a lot of stuff to get done and as mentioned here, most of the time stores are under staffed. Just some things some people just don't understand until they actually work at a retail location. Moral of the story, just give homies a break, as simple as it seems, retail is a very stressful job.
