Yip his wife who is unwell and who can no longer make the trip loves them

I m pretty sure I ve heard that BMW + I think Ferrari story many times but any how if you sell stuff and wish to survive make them feel welcome. Feel them out make decisions based on that or you ll regret it guaranteed.

End of the day you will get time wasters but picking them is the problem !

Admittedly I wasn't there and have heard similar "urban legends" but I've no reason to doubt the validity of his story but I digress...

OK

This is a true story .
I actually knew the guy , so this isn't a mate of a mates uncles brother story .

Old guy goes into a Mercedes dealer , he's about 70 years old , bad fitting suit , trousers so short you can see he has odd socks on , yesterdays dinner is still on the lapel of his jacket .
Says he wants to buy a convertible , but wants it in a different colour than what's on the floor .
Young salesman humours him and pretends to be interested in his inquiry .
Tells the old guy that it will be a couple of weeks before they can get it in .
No worries , old guy offers to give details but young guy is a smartarse .
Two weeks later old guy walks into showroom .
Manager sees him coming and can't get out to greet him fast enough .
Manager knows him because he has sold him numerous cars in the past .
Old guy asks to see his new car.
Blank stare from manager .
Old guy ends up telling manager to get his shit organised .
Never buys another car from them again .
Old guy is the wealthiest person I've ever known personally .
Before he died he sold his cattle properties ( 5 of them totalling 7000 sq km ) because the kids weren't interested in them .

What do they say about " Books and covers "

My old man has a friend who buys his clothes from the warehouse and drives a 1970's 2L GT Cortina.

He's a down to earth hard working man that looks just like every other hard working old bugger just getting by, never throws anything away because it may come in handy type.

And people who don't know him treat him just like this young salesman.

However he is a multi millionaire both in terms of cash and assets.

He just never flaunts it.

Cheers

The only place resembling a gunstore I have set foot in, in at least 20yrs, is Hamills in CHCH. That is only because a good mate I trust and who genuinely looks after me really well, owns it.
Now I believe it is a humping and fucking franchise
If you are reading this bro, my wife will be in on the weekend to buy a flyrod n reel for my boys xmas. She got angry with me because I said I know bugger all about flyfishing gear. You're up

Last time I ever was in a guncity I was watching a fella mount a scope backwards. My cobber who couldnt help himself asked the fella if he has mounted a few scopes in his time. The bloke regailed us in his scope mounting prowess until my mate just had to point out that things would look really small thru the one he was fucking up.

What are you getting twisted about? Its a funny name that actually suits imo, that I use to describe the franchise. My cobber doesn't get upset when I point out he owns a Humping and Fucking store. Although he probably stings me extra for the cheek I give him, in the tons stuff I buy off him.

Poor customer service is unfortunately pretty common in a lot of shops, today I went sandal shopping for a new pair of Keen's which have been awesome for the last 5 years so I knew what I wanted and what size but I wanted brown not blue. I had to show the poor girl in FCO what they actually were before she said no that's all we've got. In Kathmandu two of the sales people were busy so I waited at the counter for the third who was sorting coat hangers, she turned around looked at me and went back to the coat hangers so I just left. The third independent store had brown ones but not my size, I was waiting for them to tell me they could have them in by Tuesday and I would have said ok but no apparently that was all they had in the shop, I gave up in disgust and decided to check the web where I found a pair $40 cheaper with free delivery!

Now if I say so myself I'm not that ugly and was well dressed, I just think the average retail assistant doesn't understand what they're selling or grasp the basics of closing a sale by offering to go the extra mile.

Have to agree with Beetroot on GunShitty. The last 3 times I have been there the service has been very poor. Left waiting for a long time before being served. Very short yes/no answers from them and no idea of when items will be in stock. Two of the young sales reps just chatting about crap.

I blame myself as after the 2nd time of absolute crap service I told myself I wouldn't go back. But I did and got the same ground hog day experience. Guess I deserved it the 3rd time-I just shouldn't have gone back.

Big yes to Reloaders, Serious and SAI. Have always had good help from them.

I went to the Sika Show and stuck out like dog's balls, I was one of about ten who wasn't camo'd up...some even had gaiters on...none I seen had face paint on...I suppose that is something to be grateful for.
