Well said!
Why is it that in the firearms industry the CUSTOMER has to be all careful not to hurt the dealers feelings. It's our damn money! They wouldn't be around if it weren't for us! Why should we not be able to call them out when there being rude and obviously don't appreciate our business? I'm so sick of this! This is a forum. If a dealer has done you wrong or treated you poorly, this is the place to call them out on it. Obviously by doing so you do take the risk of getting some backlash from customers who have been happy with the dealers service. It's to bad that many of them don't want to admit that someone else's experience could have been the exact opposite of theirs. The idea that customers just have to deal with being treated rudely amazes me. We dont! I'm the one spending my money at a shop of my choosing.
In no way am I saying a dealer needs to kiss your ass to get your business. But if they're being disrespectful and obviously not appreciating your business, go elsewhere. It's your money, and trust me there are plenty of places that would be happy to have it.
Absolutely agree. Nothing irritates me more than going into a shop to look a few things and get attitude. I avoided Valley Guns for just this reason. Even though Valley is no longer in operation, I will not enter the store front that currently occupies the location. As I understand it the current dealer rents the building from Sanford Abrams and his family. I will not do anything that puts money into the pocket of that man.
