Ahh the off spring of the fugitives from the sixties and sometimes employed as professional college students with degrees in how to procure government grants.

mobile web. If you run a web site, you really must have a mobile version for your customers. Shame on those of you who don't.

If you don't know what to do, hire someone - the $2k is good investment.

What do mobile users need?

Phone - clickable

I'm always amazed at how businesses that operate predominantly from a storefront regularly fail to put their address and hours in an easy to find location on their website.

People who "pretend" to have served. Whatever their angle.
This exceeds Gripe level with me.

That's not right on many levels. I was never active duty and have never made out like I was ever near a war. Honorable Medical Discharge is not much to brag about.

It's this verbal habit, or tic, that the president has. It seems like nobody has noticed this, and even his staff have adopted it, too, in much the same way the Bush staff all stared mispronouncing nu-cle-ar as nuke-you-lar.

So my apologies if you never noticed this before and now that I'm pointing it out here, it starts bugging you, too. Here is how it goes.

It's inserting an UH (but pronounced more like "UH-K") in long sentences. For example, I'll just make something up.

"Mr. President, what will be your response to the airliner being shot down today?"

"Bob, we'll need to UHK, get back in touch with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib, then I'll UHK bring in secretary Kerry before UHK sending our own NTSB investigators to UHK examine all aspects of the tragedy.

Excruciating. Even the new press secretary does it. None of the comics who do impressions of the president use the UHK, and to me it's a signature aspect of his speech patterns.

Damn! Now I'm tempted to try and listen to him speak. Thanks for that!

Classified;

Whachu' GOT?

"Will trade for .38, 45, or whachu' GOT?"

Drives me Nuts.

Walking into a LGS only to be ignored while the guys behind the counter chat with their buddies on either side. That and getting help but getting the distinct impression that you're wasting their time. I've walked away from a number of sales due to these attitudes. I guess they didn't really want my business. And I'm a nice guy too!

Didn't happen to be in the Eugene area did it etrain?

Nope, Portland area. I've had it happen in a few stores unfortunately. Thankfully I know where to go for better service.

That is NOT what I have heard in this part of Oregon.....

Alright just checkin' cuz I also had a less than pleasant experience in my area on the same day, thought it could've been the same baffoons... Sad this behavior is common in the firearm industry and in LGS. I would always rather give my money to a good Ma & Pop shop over a Big Box any day, but they're gettin' harder to find...

I know OF you......

What really gripes me is people complaining about the service they got at a store/from someone. and they don't name the source.

I think if you're unwilling to share locations/etc. of your gripe(s), quit yer' batching!
