Lol! All sins forgiven cause they were the only shop that had a ts12 on the wall
UPSguy, are you a younger guy about the same age as the counter people at these stores? Maybe it's my imagination but it seems to me that as I got older people like your gun store employees have shown me more respect. Like I say, it may be my imagination but since I've become an old fart I feel like I get more respect from employees like that. Rarely do I have a bad experience like you described and that l have also experienced when I was younger. Any of you older gentlemen feel this way?
I think there is something to that; you get pegged as someone with money. When I was a bald faced boy 40 years ago, I did not receive much attention at a gun shop. You are right on.
Yep! And what OP describes has been a reality since Moses worked the gun counter, and carved tablets in stone between customers.
OP, what is truly noteworthy about your observation is this. The more shops you visit, the more striking the personality differences and the business processes and approaches you'll see. Enjoy the visits. It's your money, ultimately to spend where you choose.
There are a couple of shops that I won't set foot in. There are others where attitude on display toward a customer is a career ending move. I'd notably want to emulate aspects of one or two others as absolute business models, were I to open my own shop.
Find a few good shops, and stick with them. You and they both will benefit from the relationships built.

We currently have two in stock. One of which is used, but likely never fired for $1000.

Thank you.
To some extant, They know I'm there to buy and not dick around or look at plastic holsters and other assorted ******** set out to take a bunch of wall space up.
Often times they completely overlook the sales opportunity in unfamiliar shops becuase they're all balled up like a can of worms talking to their buddy or frequent patron who they think is going to buy something in the next 20 minutes but rarely ever does.

United seemed like good people the 2 times I went in. I buy Yamaha outboard parts from a place where the owner is known for yelling at customers, including me. They’re knowledgeable and have lots of parts in stock. I just yell back when necessary.

I am at the fiber stage, but still considering an MP5 clone. I'm nowhere close to Corvette vs. Porsche, so I guess I'm still a youngster.

I have dealt with Engage many a time in 2 years.
I have only bought a few handguns from them, mostly using them as my FFL to receive and ship .
My experience has been nothing but higher the my expectations. Maybe it is a age thing, I am 62 .

I heard your standard opening line was "I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too... So turn off the lights and close the doors."

OP you also have to remember not all customers like being asked every five minutes if they want help.
I hate it when I'm approached by a series of employees one after the other when I'm trying to look around or think over my options. If I want help or have a question, I prefer to just speak up myself rather than being interrupted all the time.
The person behind the counter has to find a balance between helpful and annoying, and has to guess where that line is for each customer.

I was trying to keep that on the down low.
