Don't waste your time, these guys shouldn't be interacting with the public. I went into the shop to check out their gear or (lack their of) and I was ignored walking in which isn't a big deal because I hate it when I get hounded when I first walk into a store. But when I asked this guy "do you work here" so that I could ask him if these shoes I wanted came in my size. His reply was "I guess,..." with a look of distain, like he was some kinda of elitist. I know I may not be a pro skater but I still dig the shoes, and that shouldn't be a prerequisite to shop at a skate shop. But after he snubbed me, I figured that I would rather shop at JC Penny shoes (gross) than spend money there. Your selection was not impressive, and the back of the store smelled like tweek. But some guy who would rather sit on his couch biting his finger nails while reading a Hustler magazine-thus alienating his customers shouldn't be in business. I guess that is why Grenade Gloves dropped their association with these clowns.
Pros: nothing really, these guys make Zumiez attractive and I can't believe I'm saying that.
Cons: price, atmosphere, tweekers, employees, selection, basically everything

I don't know what shop pdxskaterforlife went into, but it certainly wasn't the Office. Yes, they are owned by Grenade but they carry all sorts of stuff, and YES all the dudes in there DO skate, and YES they DO know their stuff. This shop is the real deal. It didn't get voted best skateshop in Portland by "Willamette Week" for nothing. I noticed that pdxskaterforlife wrote crappy reviews for a number of other local portland shops, which probably means he works for some chump store like Zumiez. If you haven't checked out the Office yet, I highly recommend you do. They also have a new shop on 81st and Stark that is worth checking out. The manager over there is on a totally different buying program, so there is a bunch of different stuff over there.
