Kid calls, asked if we carry a certain semi-decent/semi-shitty product. I explain why we don't carry it but do carry some of the parts. Then asks what pistol lowers we have in stock. In the middle of explaining there isn't such a thing and why, he says, "look, I didn't call to be educated by you. Just tell me what you have in stock."

Well, here's where it gets difficult...

Option A: "You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you should shut your cock-hole and listen."
Option B: "Come on by, lets have this discussion in person."
Option C: Click
Option D: "Have a nice day." Click

Now... Those of you that know me would think I chose Option A. But no. I'm the older, kinder, more gentle version of SA Friday. I went with Option D.

If he had said, "Look, BRO, I didn't call to be educated...." would that have changed the option you selected?

Mmmm, I don't think so.

Should have sold him a pistol lower for $20 more than a rifle one. [ROFL1]

There is such a thing. Dunno why, but Aero makes one.

The model name nor engraving on it mean anything.

It's sold as an "other" if not assembled into a complete rifle or pistol. And regardless of the engraving, it can be made into a rifle or pistol.

Finkle is Einhorn; Einhorn is Finkle.

I think Finkle had a folder.

So you could have just told him you have plenty in stock and that he could swing by and check them out and see which one he wanted.

No need to make the guy feel stupid and embarrassed because he is ignorant of things.

Not because he was ignorant, but because he was an asshole trying to be a know it all.












Wait, was it you who called?

I think Sean should get a desk cam.

Nah. I?m definitely more ignorant than an asshole.

A customer cam. I like it. I bet he could post up some wonderful conversations that nobody would believe without video proof.

There were some solicitors in our neighborhood yesterday (I get a solar guy or a fiber guy at least once a week) and I was on the phone so I told her to get rid of them. She completely chokes under pressure and went outside and proceeded to tell the guy that I would say no to anything he was selling because I'm an old.

He looked at her like she was drunk and was like, "He's old? Is that why he would say no to solar? We have other products." Her: "Yeaaaah, he's old. Sorry."

She was upset the doorbell camera didn't capture that awkward conversation, and she's 20% older than I am!

I feel like we should all randomly call over the next week and ask about pistol lowers.
