Academy Sports + Outdoors

I’m sorry, but I need to be honest. The management at this store clearly shows little regard for their customers. Who wants to be greeted by a pile of trash? (See attached photos.) I was shocked by how much garbage had been allowed to accumulate. Unfortunately, the inside of the store wasn’t any better—completely disorganized and messy. The dressing rooms were a disaster. I regret not taking photos of the massive piles of clothes on the counters, behind the counter, and even inside multiple dressing rooms that should have been available for customers. When I arrived, there was no line for a dressing room, but within minutes a crowd had formed. It took a while for an associate to assist us, and when she did, she couldn’t find the key. She had to dig through the piles of clothes and eventually left to find another one, causing even more delays. Luckily, a customer exited a room, allowing us to use it—but others behind us were left waiting. To top it all off, the checkout lines were extremely long, adding to an already frustrating experience. Honestly, it may be worth the drive to the Portland Academy or even out of town. Academy in Corpus Christi—you need to do better for your customers.

Beautiful museum on the Myorcan coast of Spain. I'm planning on a two week visit next summer to explore the reason at greater length.
