Academy Sports + Outdoors Jonesboro Jonesboro - Hours, Reviews & Deals

I was sitting around bored so I came to check out the store, I came on a Tuesday evening around 5pm and the parking lot was fairly empty. It was a great opportunity to check everything out without a lot of customers. The store was very clean and well organized and I didn't have any issues finding what I was looking for. The guns & ammunition section are always a favorite, went ahead and stocked up on ammo. Great prices and great selection!

Found some Nike running shorts I liked. They were $55 which was a bit much but I found a bunch of them on a for sale section for $30 each. They rung up for full price and the checkout guy says show me where you found them. I took him there. He starts plucking the Nike merchandise off the racks. He had an arm full of them when he was done. We just stand in awkward silence for a bit as he stands there holding all those running shorts. I asked "so can I get them on sale?" He says "oh absolutely not! A customer must have put these all here. We aren't even in the right section for this." I don't want to sound entitled but that isn't fair. I wasn't rude to him and was polite and he snapped at me when I asked if I was going to get them on sale or not because he was just silent the whole time while plucking the product off the racks. I don't believe the sale sign was even marked with a specific brand either. And the rack was literally next to some more Nike gear. Go back and watch the camera, I didn't put those shorts there so how am I supposed to know without asking? Wasted my damn time. I may have just went ahead and purchased the shorts if the heavyset checkout guy was a little more courteous. He cpuld have said something like "I apologize for the inconvenience sir but we don't honor misplaced products that we didn't personally stock in that location." Instead he just snapped. I just won't shop here anymore. Easy. I'm not going to get snapped at for asking simple questions.
