What's with the attitude from gun stores?

[sneakerd]

It's mostly because we're pretty tired of the last 5 weeks of balls to the wall insanity open to close. It's getting harder and harder to be friendly and pleasant when 90% of the questions are- "Do you know when my background check is going to be done?"
-or- "Do you have any AR-15s?" -or- Why can't you order me one?" -or- "Do you have any 223/5.56 ammo? -or- "What's going to happen with the pending legislation?" (like we have a crystal ball). I could go on and on. All the while- the phone never- EVER stops ringing in the background.

Interesting, the experience I was speaking about occurred in November. They must be really unfriendly now!

I have walked out of a few gun stores because of their attitude. Jensen has gotten a lot better for the record, but sometimes you just have to get an attitude with them. I went to 5280 once and will never go back, F'em.

Also, we're almost always understaffed. Very difficult to find qualified, intelligent staff in the gun business who are willing to put up with the low pay and long hours.

Was Jensen very crowded?

Ha! I've only been there once and don't really remember the experience.

Yep, there's always two sides to every story. Thanks for the input.

In my case, I'm just a dick. Even outside the shop

It doesnt matter, if your in "customer service" quit bitching and do your damn job. I work in customer service, working for all kinds of stupid mother fuckers but I work in their house, and most of the stuff I fix is shit the homeowner did. I am always nice because we have stupid surveys so even if the fat worthless pig fucked shit up 3 times in the same week and i have to take the repeats to go fix it I still have to be nice. And I am busy year round 10 hours a day outside mostly in the elements just hopeing I will get home in time for dinner. I have to pull on-calls and may be out all night and then have to be back at some somalians house at 7am.

Never been there, but I will now. And yes, 5280 was one I was talking about.

I could have sworn you were talking about Specialty Sports....

I wasn't bitching trlcavscout, just telling it like it is- beyond that you can f off.
