Here's a hint....

...if you run a tackle shop, and your buddies love to come in and hang around the cash, spouting off about what idiots the _____________ (fill in the blank with your favourite group, government employee, type of fisherman/hunter.....) are: that guy that wondered in, then turned around and walked out wasn't lost. He was looking for a new bc reel, but couldn't get past the wall of obscenities and "homegrown wisdom" that hung in the air like cigarette smoke. Hopefully your buds bought enough stuff that day to offset the lost sales. Really, if you want to run a private club for the local "we're the only non-idiots around here" club, that's great. When you find yourself complaining that people don't shop locally, and support your business, try not to choke on that irony.

 

Yes, I do feel better. Thanks.

That nicely sums up the frustration a lot of people experience. Well done.

Happens in a number of stores. I'll give a shop 2 chances. After that, I won't waste my time there.
