Still not a great company these days, but at least it's back in Canadian hands again.
They lost me when I wanted to buy barefoot shoes they had on the shelf and the guy was mocking me. Then a second person from staff mocked me as well when she overheard. I just left and never stepped inside one of their stores again.
- That's bullshit behaviour by staff. When was that? I haven't really liked going in there for the last few years.
  
  Hm not sure. Maybe 10 years ago? They were still a coop at that time. I had already picked the shoes and just wanted to try them on to make sure they fit. They lost a guaranteed sale that day. I tried them on there and bought them elsewhere online. And never returned.
- That sucks. I've always wanted to try them but never got a pair since I've heard they're not great on concrete and I unfortunately still live in the city.
  Did you ever end up buying some?
  
  Oh yeah I have several. I love them. Even in the city.
The Coop died. This thing wearing it's hide is a monstrosity.

Take off that flag you fuckers have draped yourselves in.
MEC is dead, and I will never set foot in one again.
