ok i wll start whats the dumbest thing you have heard at lgs

[metaldog]

Was in a LGS the other day for a new holster. Another customer (who was bald on top) walks up to the counter & was looking at the guns under glass. Clerk looks at him & says, "What can I do for you baldy?". Customer, obviously offended (by his reddened face) says, " Well, I wanted to look at this Sig, but does it shoot BALD AMMO?!". Clerk says, "No, we only have BALL AMMO, for it.". Customer smiles & says, "Well, have a BALL THEN!", and walks out of the store. Clerk looks at me & shrugs his shoulders. Seriously?!!

Customer relations at their best.

My all time favorite is "We don't want to make any money. We just love to sell guns!!!"

Gander Mt douche. Walk in simply to look. Never buy. Wife wants to look at a small carry gun. We look at the Sig p238. She's sorta of recoil sensitive. Tell this to the sales douche.
According to him, what she really needs is this. He brings her a S&W Airwieght! Really?

The dumbest thing I ever heard was "No sir, I don't think my husband would like it too much if I let you take me out for dinner and a few drinks". I've told all my friends about how rude the staff is at that shop. I'm never going there again.

The technical term for that is "douche move".

 

[WebSnyper]

Me: "Any .22's today?"

LGS: "Yup, bricks of Golden Bullets."

Me: "Finally, I'll take a brick."

LGS: "OK, that'll be $64.99" <------------------

I'm not sure I have ever said I will take something before asking/knowing the price.

I heard a guy behind the counter once say, when asked about his preference to the glock 19 or 23, he carries a 19, when asked why not the 23, his response was, you can shoot someone with a .40 3 times, and not kill them.

About five hours ago;

SomeGuy: "I'm looking for a holster for my G30."
Me: "Lemme go see if we have a G30 in the case. We can open the packages and test fit."
SomeGuy: "I got mine" (pulls his carry gun, sweeps my guts)
Me: "Hey! Don't sweep me!"
SomeGuy: "I won't"
Me: "Dude! You just did!"
SomeGuy: "I never keep one in the chamber so it doesn't matter"

And that is why you make the big $$$...

That said, did you boot him out?

 

[JetGirl]

Nope. I repeated it, had him unload...and then I helped him find a holster.
I don't know if he's an INGOer, but I'm fairly certain he's a lurker. Like maybe 90-ish% sure.
Ish.
We've interacted before. I've taken a couple guns away from people, but not this guy.

We'll see...

So what holster for the G30??

 

[Huntinfool]

Heard a sales guy at GM the other day tell a lady that you only need to patter one kind of shell in your shotgun. All the other will shoot the same. Most folks don't know that, and they are just wasting their money.

If I recall, a Tagua that didn't even list that model. Just a happy coincidental fit.

 

[Bushido Devil Dog]

One of the dumbest things I have heard in a gun shop?

That M&P's are as good as Glock.

that glocks are perfection and I should buy one

Uh-oh....shots fired

Yup! And here's another round coming down range :
"It's a Glock. They *never* jam!"

 

[Gluemanz28]

I got one.

Young guy behind the counter started bragging to this older couple about how much he knew about AR15's. Even called one of the other guys over and said "tell them about all the AR15's I have built".

The older man then said to the young guy behind the counter "that's nice, but I really don't care. I just want to buy that 38 special revolver."

It was at one of my preferred gun shops.

Got to love the Old Guy's
Young kid where I used to work one day was doing something completely wrong and an Old Guy tried to give him solid advise. The young kid said I know what I'm doing and carried on. Young kid messed it all up and had to redo everything. As the Old Guy was walking away he said a profound statement that I will never forget.

He said "That boy is too young to listen". "It's like standing in a bushel basket trying to pick yourself up"

A couple of months ago I was at a LGS. The clerk had sucessfully sold a small 22 deringer or something similar to a newbie. The guy asked the salesman where the 22 self defense ammo was. I had to chuckle. I didn't know there was such a thing.

 

[AllenM]

Overheard a salesman trying to sell a S&W SV40 to a potetial customer, telling them this is as close to owning a glock you can get without owning a glock.

I'm not a glock guy, maybe its true but it sounded like a bad sales pitch to me.

 

[Bapak2ja]

Man, I could write a book filled with stuff from BOTH sides of the counter.

Yeah, I do that. I'm not gonna BS my way through something I don't know. cough*muzzleloaders*cough
However, when I don't know, I do my dangedest to hook you up with whoever does.
We all kind of have our niches...It's nice to have that, actually.

Another reason to like Tomlinsons—honest and helpful staff.
