Gun store Fiasko!!

[LEaSH]

Just name the damn store already.

No offense meant OP

Every time I see a post like this I find myself wondering what the other side of the story is. We are so quick to jump on the bandwagon as if posting it on a forum means you are never wrong, rude, or just misunderstood something.

OP, you haven't been around long so I don't mean to include you in this but..............if you are universally mistreated, maybe it's you.

Just take your business elsewhere. Businesses with bad attitudes generally don't last, nor do employees sales people with bad attitudes.

I'd not go back, you should name the store too. I would like to hear the other side of the story if available.

If I'm mad enough to go on and post about it I'd name it. Lets face it, in the world of LGS's it's hard to find good ones. I think everyone on here looks out for each other for the most part. I think shops like this need to be held accountable for poor service. I've never understood how a business could operate this way in today's "whine first" climate. Just my two cents, but if someone did that to me I'd post the name to warn the others on here of their practices.

I'd go back and not buy anything!

Handle everything in sight, then ask him where "the good stuff" is.
Seriously, if I didn't know better I'd think you were looking in LUDCO.

May not be the store policy as much as an employee with a bad attitude. Did you talk to the manager or owner? He might see the situation much differently. In any case, you still have other places to buy from.

Assuming this madness stops, wonder how many of these shops will regret their current pricing/customer service one day?

I have personally crossed 3 places off my list, luckily my fav. LGS had continued to be great!

Just a guess. But I bet the store in question shares a name with a popular candy manufacturer.

If you aren't going to name the store why even bother to post. Silly.

Sorry for your experience, OP. Look on the bright side, you've identified a shop you no longer need to ever waste time visiting again.

I kinda miss going in ludco and looking around. Wish more shops had the invetory he had. or close to it.

Do we know if this particular shop does or does not sharpen axes?

The store should be named so the owner can be axed to weigh in on this issue.

I disagree. If the shop is a site supporter the high post count fan boys will be all over the "noob". It's a no win situation. Just spend money elsewhere.

Not in my nature to bad mouth, that's why I'm not naming the store. Like i said i just wanted to share my experience, i was frustrated and needed to vent. The salesperson was the owner/manager, that's what made me so angry. If it were an employee I would have definitly wanted to speak to a manager. Also, there really is no other side to the story, I didn't say or do anything that would make him act like that. I just told him I wanted to think about it for a day. Now I won't return. I think if i would have bought something from him it would have been all flowers and sunshine but since I didn't buy anything, he kind of shrugged me off. I have never been treated like that anywhere, gun store or not. Very rude!!

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I agree we've only heard one side of the story. Unfortunately for the LGS owner, should the OP decide to name it, this is how word-of-mouth reputation is either built up or torn down.

To the OP's defense though, I've known a number of store owners that just do not get how to deal with the public--why they ever decided to go into retail business amazes me.

Ok, you don't list what town you are from, in your avatar, so what town is it in ?????

I've seen several threads bashing LGS I've visited in the last couple weeks, odd, I was greeted and asked if they could help me after about two steps in the door, usually I just say no or I'm looking for a whatever. I did see a few people try to strike up conversation with about 30 people in a shop big enough for 10, then get shot down. I wonder if they realize its not the time to stop and talk with people who are obviously busy with paying customers. Not directed at the op at all, I think if I was talked to like that I would have walked to, but sometimes people are rude and want 100% of the employees and owners attention, then come on here crying because they wouldn't stand around and talk to them. The way things are I'm pleased just to be acknowledged!
