I don’t think you’re understanding the whole situation. But that’s ok. Arrogance is a gift

In todays wild world there are all kinds of off the cuff, hot air, no thought engineers.
Surprised the guy at the counter did not tell you to try TIG it to the action instead of cut it in half.
I had one tell me to NOT BUY STORE ammo and reload my own or take the chassis down to a machine shop and change the engineering on the Mag-well to make things fit.
yep....the Live in person SNL SKIT

Did your research..fantastic!!
Or did you pull a stint for Rio Tinto?
6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum billets that Chassis builders feed into their automated CNC mills hovers between 60% and 80% total recycled content.
While their marketing team uses terms like "aircraft-grade virgin billet" to convince un-trained retail buyers they are purchasing a custom, raw aerospace artifact, the realities and fact of the modern global metallurgy supply chain completely expose the illusion.
Because secondary aluminum production requires 95% less industrial energy than primary smelting from raw bauxite ore, the standard commercial billets supplied by distributors to high-volume manufacturing lines across North America are inherently loaded with pre-consumer industrial scrap and post-consumer...pop cans, beer can, or any aluminum recycle that makes back into TRIPLE *R* System.
Then there is that markup....with some builders in the 1000s of a %.

ProLine are awesome. Really enjoy going in there. Found a few treasures in there over the years.
Ya, cause scaring up a random set of keys and a $10 wallet in order to walk off with a very expensive optic would be totally out of the question.

“Price matching” does not cut it with me. That is unfair to the retailers that did not try to over charge in the first place. Allowing a store to “price matching” is rewarding bad behaviour. I am not here to search out the price for them. Any store that has price matching policy is the last one I check out and if they are not the lowest, I don’t even mention the price match I just buy from the store that quoted me the best price in the first place.

A-no you can’t. b- agreed, C- just need his drivers and PAL, not the whole wallet. If he matched the photo on both, you can hand those to the police should he run off which he won’t. Taking his wallet without looking at those two documents is useless, the wallet could be stollen.

It’s been talked about many times in this thread. I could have found a random set of keys in the parking lot or counterfeit or stolen someone else’s wallet. We can play a million different scenarios.ProLine are awesome. Really enjoy going in there. Found a few treasures in there over the years.

The point is, he accepted my collateral, and yet still breathed down my neck and at every chance, would gesture to give the binos back to him; like a kid unwillingly sharing his ice cream with his younger brother because dad yelled at him. At least give me some fake respect so I don’t get pissed and drive up Deerfoot to go buy them from cabelas. The majority of people in this thread have been to CSC to try and help the LGS out but the employees aren’t really giving them an opportunity or reason to is my whole point.

Just went back and re-read the OP and still did not see where he said that the store employee had already “seen his PAL &any and all ID”.Bla bla blaahh..They Had/Seen his PAL & any & all I.D at this point, an obvious real/legit Truck key, easily verified.. w/e...goes for the other tool too. The worker went with him..anyway..again..bla bla blahs
Well, maybe you can’t tell, but I don’t have any trouble figuring out who the shoplifters are.
In any case having decent people skills and decent CS skills goes a long way.
But I’ve been around the block a couple times so probably mine are better than the clerk at CSC.
That’s fair and I’d agree with most products but it’s nice to inspect a gun and purchase locally then to order one online (if given the option)
Ladies and gentlemen…we have a fanboy.
So just check his PAL as well…man, this is getting pretty elaborate to steal a scope even if it is high end..ProLine are awesome. Really enjoy going in there. Found a few treasures in there over the years.

Check PALs for non-firearm related purchases like binoculars? Look around CGN to see complaint threads when stores do this. He's upset that someone stood beside him while they let him check out some binoculars outside.

lol I’m not “mad” because he went outside with me. I’m “mad” because even after handing over my wallet and keys, he still stood within 2 feet of me with a posture that would resemble a competition pistol shooter waiting to hear the starting beep.
Just give me some space - Back up a few feet so I can observe the binos without feeling your breath.
I don’t think I can make myself any more clear.
No need for the guy to be that close, if they are already trusting you with the item, whats he going to do anyway lol, tackle a person and possible get tuned up or stabbed?
My experiences there all hinge around one employee, I thought maybe the first time was a bad day... but EVERY time I go in there he is such a pompous jerk (even to other staff members) that it is enough for me to not go back. I have mentioned it to other staff members as well and their opinion did not seem to stray away from mine. He also was the same with my gf when she was looking for a lever, so she went elsewhere and spent the $1500.
Every other person I have dealt with there have been great, even some that were not as educated but were the first ones to say "Hey, I do not know but let me go ask ______ so I get you the correct info"
