Californian Dreams — Local services in Vista

Typical Dickies/scrubs lower-end store where the shoes are wrapped in cellophane. Prices are slightly higher than what you'd expect at a place like this, but you don't go to places like this with very high expectations.

I called before visiting to check stock for a specific style, size, and color item. There was a bit of a language barrier, but the person on the phone was able to confirm that they had two of what I needed and agreed to set them aside.

When I visited the store the following day, it was difficult to tell who was an employee and who wasn't. After finally finding someone, I ran into more communication issues. After a couple of minutes and the assistance of another employee, the items were located and I purchased them.

I made the mistake of not inspecting the items (Dickies pants) before leaving the store, and unfortunately one of them was missing belt loops and improperly hemmed. While this is clearly a manufacturer defect and not the fault of this store, I'm reticent to attempt a return after the communication issues I encountered originally.

While I would return in a pinch, this is a place I'd...

Meh! Basically an indoor swap meet.

If you didn’t grow up ghetto like me in San Bernardino, this place would turn you off right away.

I only wore swap meet clothes and shoes until I got through high school. That’s all the Moms could afford as a single parent.

So going into this place wasn’t foreign to me. It’s exactly what I expected.

No service. Overpriced. Your a criminal the moment you enter the doors.

They earned their reputation with the reviews you will read on google.

Just DGAF is the stereotype these folks branded themselves with and they do it with honor. Ironically.

I still scored some cheap gear for the tweiner kiddos because they are only going to stain and outgrow the basic clothes kids wear.

This place wouldn’t survive in Carlsbad.

They should move to Escondido but they are probably too scared.

Was that real enough of a review? Thumbs up...

I have never written a bad review because I just don’t like saying anything negative about anyone or any place life happens and I believe that people have bad days so I don’t like to accuse anyone of any wrong doing but the employees or owner of California Dream are ridiculously rude and so unprofessional. I went in to exchange Not return some jeans I bout for my daughter, just needed a smaller size and the lady refused to exchange them telling me I did t buy them at their store, the same person that the day before was at the register and told me I could only exchange them no return policy, I will never...
