The sales consultant gave unhelpful suggestions until I directed him to leave. This was after previously identifying the brand and product name. I could’ve been out of there sooner if it wasn’t for his priority to sell more than I need and want. Watching/streaming videos on his phone also added delays. He continued to stare at his phone for a few seconds as I waited at the counter. Then he paused it, but left the phone on the counter as he unlocked the register. Once unlocked, he cradled the phone in his left hand for a bit until he was forced to put it down to bag. Definitely my first and last visit...
I am done with this place. I have given it several times of going in there and trying to assert myself in different ways to get him (Brian is his name I believe) off my back. Tonight when he asked what I was looking for I tried letting him know that I was going to look at some proteins, I know what I like, and would let him know if I had any questions. He still followed me and provided suggestions. That was it. I will absolutely never go back in there because I am tired of feeling uncomfortable when I am there. I ended up buying two protein bars and he had the gall to ask me why I didn't buy any protein. I should've answered honestly. I was looking to stock up and protein and would've spent A LOT of money, but I couldn't do it. At that point it is no longer being a good salesman when you are losing customers because of your overbearing and frankly smothering sales tactics. I will have to enjoy going to other GNC's from now on despite living 2 blocks away. Too bad.
I went to the store when Brian was working and he was very overbearing. I appreciate being told different perspectives about the products I was insterested in but I was quite uncomfortable. Brian followed me around the entire time and kept interjecting with comments whenever I tried to look at something by myself. Very pushy. I would like to be able to look around without feeling like I have to buy something or buy whatever he happens to be promoting to me. I won’t be returning.
Great staff! I was not expecting the employees at this store to be as knowledgable as they were. I went in with my sister to get some pre workout and am very happy with the ACG3 I was recommended. Go to this store if you want to talk to someone with basic or even advanced nutrition knowledge. The manager here knew more than my dietician plus I didn't have to pay for the information and guidance that a dietician charges for.
I went into GNC with very little knowledge about what I needed to get and the manager was a HUGE help. I was nervous that I was going to get pressured into purchasing something I did not want or need but the staff proved me wrong. The manager suggested I try a protien powder for after I work out and a vitapak to help me cut down on my weight and I am losing weight faster than ever. The energy and metabolism vitapak is a great one to try for anyone looking to lose weight. The staff here are the real deal!
