So I was OC'ing this evening with my girlfriend while we went to exchange a pair of pants at Fallas Parerdes I had bought and were too small.
I walked in and went right to the cashier and asked to exchange and she told me to grab whatever else it is I wanted and she would take care of me. no problems, great, so I went to look for a pair of pants.
I got about 15ft when this old Security Guard started following me, and then got VERY close to me. So I turned around and he started talking to me.
I am going to try to remember everything that was said.
SG: Are you a Police Officer
Me: No, sir.
SG: You have a gun. why do you have a gun displaying if you aren't a Police Officer?
Me: Here in NV it is 100% legal to open carry a firearm.
SG: Do you have a permit to do that?
Me: No. I do not need a permit to open carry, it is perfectly legal to carry my firearm.
SG: Well do you have a permit to cover it?
Me: I have a concealed weapons permit, yes.
SG: Then you have to cover it while you are in here.
Me: Ok. I'll do that.
So I pull my shirt over my gun, so I printing like CRAZY. I was wearing a kind of tighter polo shirt and carrying in a OWB holster..not the most concealable carry rig in the world.
I went to look for some more pants, and my girlfriend suggested since they don't want my gun in there, they don't want my money either. (Isn't she the f-ing best???) So I realized she is right, so I go to up to the cashier/customer service desk and ask for a manager.
The manager comes up and asks what the problem is. So I ask her what is their policy on LEGALLY carried firearms inside their business. She said there was no problem at first, but then quickly back tracked and said it is not allowed because their customers "freak out". She also said I could either cover it up, or leave.
So I told her that I am going to tell everyone I know to never shop there, and I will never be back again. She didn't care one bit. I also told her I wanted a refund instead of an exchange, and she said "Oh...well I am not sure that is a possibility. I was already really annoyed at that point, but when she told me I couldn't get my money back, I got real mad real fast. I told her "I want my f-ing money back, and I want it back right now". I shouldn't have said that, I know, but I was pretty mad, and it just flew out of my mouth. She told me she had to call her Regional Manager to find out if she could give me my money.
She comes back 5 minutes later and gives me my money, and I remind her once again that I am never going to shop there again, and I am going to tell everyone I know to never shop as well. Once again, she didn't care.
I asked for her Regional Manager's phone number, and I asked for her name, her RM's name, and the Security Guards name. She said she couldn't give me any names, but she gave me the number.
So Monday I am going to call the RM, and find out the policy, and then get an address and where to send my letter of dissatisfaction.
I know I shouldn't expect the best customer service at a discount clothing store like that, but I do expect to be treated like they are happy I spend my money there.
I wanted to let you guys know to NOT shop at Fallas Paredes because they do NOT support your right to openly carry your firearm. They will NEVER get my business again, and I suggest until they chance their policy, none of you shop there as well.
