Academy Sports + Outdoors — Local services in Saint Peters

I was buying ammo from the outdoors section and decided to check out up front. A gentleman from the customer service desk called me over so he could check me out and asked if I wanted $30 off my purchase today. I said why not thinking I’d just be signing up for a rewards system but that was NOT the case. He didn’t explain what I was signing up for until I looked at a sign that was advertising an Academy Sports credit card in which you could save $30 on your current purchase. I was misdirected into signing up for said credit card. These credit cards are well known scams and I feel stupid for allowing this employee to sell me this credit card. I’ve come to learn they have to fill a sale quota for said credit cards which is why they push them like they do. This is predatorial. I came back in today to talk to someone and a few employees helped me and gave me a few options of what to do to cancel the card and said whoever sold me this card was sly and misleading. Please don’t sign up for this card PERIOD. Please learn from my mistake. And thanks to the employees who treated me like a human when I came back in, those are the type of employees you want at your company. I wish I remembered their names. And to the gentleman who sold me the card, you’re an absolute goober and should...

I went in on 10/09 I'm the evening and it was a young while male with mullet like haircut working alone, he ignored me as I stood at the counter. He took 3 white gentleman that he claimed where waiting before me. Once one customer told him to go ahead and help me he said do you have an ID? I gave him my ID. He allowed me to look at a few pieces then said you can look at them all day but I can't sell you anything because of your out of state ID. I asked about someone else buying it for me he said yes and told me about going to a FFL dealer since he would not serve them if they came in because he wouldn't know whether they were using my funds. I rarely experience racism but I did this day. I started to not go back but I went on with a new ID and met the sweetest man Reul! He didn't ask for my ID right away, he actually greeted me with a smile and was concerned about my needs! He was very knowledgeable and helped me with a hard purchase for me and I really appreciate him. There were also other nice men working with him that turned a bad experience into a great one. I am glad I went back and that they have hired a variety of people who hold no malice towards people who don't...

Hello, I would like to tell you about my experience with this store. My cousin and I went to this store to buy bullets for my gun. After that, I went to the cashier to buy. There was a racist man, sorry, I don’t know his name. He asked me about my ID to buy bullets. Of course, this is the first time I’ve been asked about my ID to make sure of my age. Of course, I gave him my ID to make sure, but unfortunately, he asked me another time about my cousin’s ID. Unfortunately, my cousin forgot his ID at home, but he is 18 years old. However, the man will not be convinced and will not sell me bullets, due to his bad treatment. So, I went from the store and took my cousin to his house. I went back to the store to buy again. When I entered and took the bullets and went to the cashier, a man came again and kicked me out of the store. I asked for a manager, the manager came his name is Randy but unfortunately the manager was even more racist. After that, I was kicked out of the store because I am an Arab Muslim. But Academy Sports should be ashamed of their selfs to hire these...
