After working at two running shoe stores in Northern Virginia with little to no employee training, I was fired for providing customer service above and beyond that which the owners wanted to offer the customers.
One owner was fond of saying that "people are stupid and need to be told what to do." I was ordered to tell the customers what to buy, without explanation, and get to the next person.
At VA Runner we will take what ever time is necessary to determine and explain our clients needs. We feel it is important that our clients understand why certain shoes may be more appropriate for them than others.
