Questions about tactial tommies nosales people

The place for beginners, or anyone else, to talk about gun, gear, and shooting topics with a minimum of jargon and/or geekery. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask that blows up in your face later.

That's better than having them ask if you'll buy their blood plasma.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

It's the Austintown Sports Shop in Austintown(Shithole), Ohio. Besides being the only shop within a 30 mile drive that sells Wolf or Brown/Silver Bear 7.62x39, their Remington and WWB x39 is a little cheaper than Wally.

I've long since decided to never work in a gun store or an amateur radio store.

I used to enjoy building, configuring and tinkering with computers just for the heck of it. Then I started working in the industry, first in retail sales and builds, then help desk. Now I do only what I have to do to keep our home systems up and running and to do "work" (forums, e-mail etc.).

I used to carefully shelve all of my books, arranged and categorized. Then I started working at a book store when moving into this house. 2-3 weeks of constant shelving (part of the training to get you familiarized with our product), and all of my books went on the shelves as they came out of the box. Still have never organized them.

I don't want to ruin any more leisure activities by doing them for a living.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

One of my closest friends has a gun shop -- frankly, he makes almost all his sales to the same few people, w. the vast majority just coming in to hang around/get free advice/then not listen to it, so I understand the nosales bit, to an extent.

I worked for several years in a retail business. One reason why I'm willing to pay for decent service, and why I always *get* good service in places where I'm a regular.

It doesn't take too much time and effort to learn to tell the people who are there to buy, from the people who aren't- who are there to look, to fondle the merchandise, to ask silly questions and not listen to the answers, to cut in and recite hopelessly incorrect 'facts' when other customers ask questions....

What I'm saying is, it doesn't take that much effort and dedication to your work to learn to spot the people who are worth, you know, serving.
