Big 5 Sporting Goods — Local services in Huntington Park

I was in the market for a softball glove and really did not have time to comparison shop. So, if they had a glove that fit, I was most likely going to buy it.

I ended up trying quite a few gloves and finally settled on a Nike softball glove, the original price on this glove was $70. Quite pricy I thought. Some gloves seemed to have a neon tag, indicated that they were on sale.

Would’ve given 5 stars but one of the employees approached us asking if we are finding everything okay as we just stepped foot in the store . I mean we just walked in dude, give us space. Anywho he followed us around the store and really ruined my day cause I work in retail and I know when we follow someone it‘s only when we suspect something wrong(maybe stealing). Anywho they should work on that. Maybe this store has been through some rough past customers but they shouldn’t assume that from every customer and take the correct approach. At the end I found what I was...
