Where's Tonya Harding when you need her?
I owned a couple restaurants in Vancouver about 6 years back and Tonya used to come in once, twice a month with the most red necked out trashy looking dudes. From the looks of as the show says "where are they now" She would take a few pain pills to do a hit on the guys screwing over the rest of us with the ammo.
I did end up asking a manager to come to the gun counter a little while back as I pulled into the parking lot and a guy pulled in after me, got to the gun counter after me and the clerk greeted him by first name and gave him the box of .22 he said he did not have aside from the one his friend had "dibs" on. When he handed it to the guy I called bs and went to the guy I knew was the manager and he made the guy hand me the box. He told me that he has been trying to nip the issue of employees holding out for their friends but that he could not stand there and watch them at all times. one of the guys at the Beaverton Bi Mart seems to have that down and has been a total tool since the first time I saw him there. I asked if they ever got any bolt action .357 rifles in and he told me there was no such thing...many guns since he has told me do not exist or are discontinued when I have just been looking at them for sale at buds guns or other online sales. I really cannot stand the know it all employees who cannot handle just saying "I have never seen one so we must not carry it" rather than a snotty "There is no such thing" with a laugh like I am a fool for thinking there was. This is what I wanted Ruger® 77/357? Rotary Magazine Bolt-Action Rifle Models
I guess the Ruger American in common hunting caliber is all they carry and know about as they are able to stock and sell them cheap. He could have easily looked it up as I just had hours before. I am now happy I went with the lever action .357 and saved money but the guy has done things like that so many times I dread the gun counter when he is working it. Same with the ex navy seal, ninja, samurai warrior beer bellied old man at Dicks in Washington square. Happy to tell me about what a bad *** he is but when I ask for a certain gun he hesitates to hand it to me before giving me a bunch of reasons it is under powered, unreliable and he would never have used it when he was leading troops into battle back in the days of his confusing Navy Seal, Army ranger, and another one he listed that he had completed training in. Yet he worked his way up from a grunt....Must have been a real bad *** back in the day...yet with all that training he claims the only handgun caliber he trusts as powerful enough is a 44 mag.... Sorry just venting after these visits.
