my girlfriend was looking for vegan or non-whey based protein powder for herself so we checked out two places: noah's and popeyes. i had recommended popeyes because i, myself (previous to this review), have gone there religiously in the past to stock up on supplements (fish oil, creatine, bcaa, msm, greens, etc) and protein powder. i think the customer service is fairly hit or miss; some days you will get associates who will be very friendly and helpful; other days you get the asshole juicehead then won't even look at you because "do you even lift, bro?"
well, last thursday afternoon, we got the latter. we walked in, guy looked up at us from behind the cash and just went back to whatever he was doing even when i smiled and nodded at him. ok, fine, he probably didn't see me i thought. another associate came out from the back and greeted us. we walked around, compared prices (that is a part of shopping, is it not?) my girlfriend didn't find anything that she wanted, but i had made mental notes of several products i wanted to buy next time they had their customer appreciation sales (which are pretty good, tbh). as we walked out, the same guy behind the cash just kept on saying "thanks for coming in, thanks for stopping by, have a nice day, etc" but in an extremely condescending and patronizing tone. i didn't even bother to acknowledge him but i've had a negative experience there the last 2 or 3 times. not that they care but i don't think i will be going back there.
