      On July 6th ******************************************************************************* store at the Finish Line in ************** for the correct sizes needed because there were none available in store. On July 10th I received my package containing one camo hat that is the wrong item, when in fact I ordered one white hat and one black hat. After relentlessly calling and 30 - 45 mins being on hold each call about receiving the wrong item I was told an replacement order would be sent. On July 17th I called in again and asked about my order this time I was told I need to return the item to the store or *** before my original order could be sent out so I payed for a ride to take me, after getting there I had the associate call customer service from the their phone she called three times and said customer service was closed. I then told her they're not closed and called from my phone after being on hold for a lil over 20 mins I sat down because my knees started to swell a customer service representative came on the line so I proceeded back to the counter and gave the store associate my phone so we can have her on speaker and get the return taken care of. After speaking with the representative she told the store associate to send the return for the camo hat back to store *********************************************************** store go ahead and the swap for the correct items. Then a manager comes up out the back and says the associate cant do it and I would have to give her the receipt for camo hat in order to proceed. I explained everything again and told her everything had been going through and she just walks away a goes to the back. I waited a few minutes and when I seen no associate come back out to assistant me I went to the back and open the door the manager with the brownish red hair is sitting in front of a mirror on the phone dancing and playing with her hair. I said excuse me ma'am I still need assistance, she says you need the receipt. Do better FL
