It's a good question.. I stopped in a local gun store and again was met with the typical gun counter guy.. You have met him.. He is really into guns but that is probably the only thing he is good at in life. He has no problem giving his opinion and looks down on every gun but the one he really likes. HK fanboy.. Glock fanboy, Sig etc etc..
Gun store owners would be much better served to hire non gun types and teach them a bit about guns. Hire people who understand customer service and sales. Not guys who have there idiot buddies behind the counter and act annoyed when you want to look at a gun.. The basics of how a gun store keeps it's doors open seems to elude many of these socially retarded gun guru's.
When you go to a store like Sportsmen warehouse or Cabellas you can look at guns.. Browse. You don't have the annoying look's from the gun counter guys like you do at a LGS.. The prices are terrible and I won't buy at those places ... The sales guys are less knowledgeable and that might be a good thing.
Am I talking about your gun store? Yes.. I'm talking about just about every gun store I have been to in my life. Barring the big box types. (I said I won't buy from them so calm down)
Am I wrong?
Someone please tell me about a gun store with good prices, employees who smile and down talk down to customers. Gun stores where the employees don't hurt business and actually help the owner make money.
rant over.
