The irony is, Sean Brosnan worked at Roadrunner sports when he started coaching at Newbury Park, before he got his teaching credential and started teaching. I'm really not sure why the previous post stating this was deleted. Is it somehow offensive or is someone disputing the truth of the post? Very odd that someone would find any reason to report or delete that post.
The problem is whales like you don't understand that when we are engulfed by the eclipse that you cause, we call you Boss Man, as in Boss Hogg, the original fatty. You should thank us for our honesty in giving you the lack of respect that you deserve.
If anything, I feel like running store clerks are the last people that would call someone “boss” or be overly familiar in that “soften you up to sell you something” manner. All the clerks at stores near me are super awkward 20-somethings.

that is not irony
What about when Brosnan had to endure rain on his wedding day?
There is absolutely no difference in shoe technology brand to brand. Everything is personal preference and anything i tell you while selling shoes is to convince you I have some higher wisdom about the process

There are many people in the US with good amounts of disposable income that would rather have 'expert' workers at specialty shoe, electronic, clothing, meal stores tell them what they need rather than taking the time to do the research and figure it out for themselves.
Also, may people like and value being waited on and served.
They enjoy going to a restaurant instead of buying carry out or cooking it themselves.
The average specialty running shoe store carries dozens of different models, and trying to sort them all out is not easy.
A good percentage of people buying running shoes do not run or run very little. If they buy a running shoe from a specialty running shoe store some feel better about themselves. (Hmm, yes indeed the carbon plate makes me more efficient! )
I have a very honest and authentic question for all you ppl who work in shoe stores. Please answer respectfully.
Back in about 2017, I started noticing thst anywhere in america, as soon as I walk into a shoe store, I am immediately bombarded with several employees who call me "boss man". They say "hey boss man" and "what's up boss man" and "what you lookin for boss man".
It's all the same, no matter what store I enter. So here's the deal. There is obviously some reason for this. So here is my question:
1. Do all ppl who work at shoe stores in america go to some sort of annual professional conference for shoe store employees where they are lectured and told that all customers like being called "boss man"?
2. Do all ppl who work at shoe stores in America have to watch some sort of training video that instructs them the most effective way to approach all customers is to call them "boss man"??
Look, there is some sort of reasoning for this. I would like to get to the bottom of it. Obviously there is some sort of high entity up the ladder that is instructing all shoe store employees in America to call people boss man, or they wouldn't all be doing it.
Every single one of them do gold teeth. It's all exactly the same old game. Same exact wording. Every shoe store in america.
So what exactly is going on here?
For those who work at shoe stores, what’s your approach when a customer comes in uncertain about what they want? How do you balance providing guidance while respecting their personal style preferences? Additionally, how do you handle situations where a customer insists on purchasing shoes that may not be the best fit or size for their needs?
Measure their foot, bring out multiple brands/options that fit, and let them pick one. If they ignore my notes and pick something stupid, I sell it to them and try to upsell some socks and inserts.
I actually have a similar problem, except it’s non stop customers calling me “boss” and “boss man” where I work as a cashier.
I don’t know how or why everyone started throwing around boss man like it’s a normal way to greet someone, but it’s both psychotic and infuriating. Just two days ago had to call out this kid who literally called me boss four times in the span of 10 seconds.
I still can't believe people are actually employed in these businesses. There should just be an automatic kiosk for checkout, let the customer pick up any shoe box of their liking and try shoes on. Why the middleman pretending like he can impart any useful wisdom when in reality they are basically there for loss prevention.
A year ago I would have agreed with you, but having attained some more recent second-hand knowledge of the knowledge of most people who walk into a running shoe store, I have changed my opinion.
I, personally, have never benefitted from the advice or expertise of a shoe salesman. I have always known exactly what running shoe I wanted and what size. That is common for most runners, but I think most runners would be shocked to know how many non-runners go get shoes at a running shoe store. Their podiatrist recommended Hokas to them, or they want a shoe just to walk in, or they want a shoe with funky colors that some running shoes come in, etc.
It's pretty clear that no one can teach you anything.

Two things:
1) You are hearing them wrong. They are saying “welcome to Ross, man,” or something similar to that.
2) Stop looking for running shoes at Ross. They have a horrible selection, and if you do find a pair, they probably don’t have them in your size.
