I will be in Calgary for a few hours tommorow. Perhaps if I can make the time, I will check out the new store and go kick some tires and tick off a few people in the line up. Why? Because it is my right to look, if I so desire.Donny Fenn1 said:
I buy where they have what I want and do not depend on the sales person to make or break my day. No problem with most of WS staff, but the store is too big to be anything more than a big box store. I miss the days of the small gun shops, but I feel that we are responsible. Our need for everything and everything at the absolute best price has eliminated the small and personal and created the big monster stores where prices might be right but service is rare.pharaoh2 said:I don't think what I do is piss and moan. I voice my pinion. I thought that was still my right in a free democracy, wasn't it? If you go into a gunshop, you expect to have someone help you who knows what their talking about, no? From what several people said on this thread, it would be perfectly acceptable for them to sell a newbie a 7mm Rem Mag, and a box of .280, because their both 7mm's. We shouldn't expect them to know anything. Come on now, this stuff is just plain dangerous, and if your going to work in this field, you should nknow what your talking about! And if anybody disagree's with that, then I can't wait to hear your ##### and moan stories down the road.

but that is your right! Go for it! Grab a NUMBER! Wait your turn! But when one of those clowns calls your number, remember it is not the clowns job to engage you in a lengthy debate, select the perfect made in heaven gun match for you, teach or instruct you in the finer point of hand loading or or take you by the hand and tell you why your bird dog does not like you. Don't be surprised if the clown limits your stupidness to once and calls another number. Hey, I will be in Calgary tomorrow and will be at WS. Maybe, I will be able to witness your performance first hand?gitrdun said:I'm almost wishing for rain tomorrow so I can come & watch.
but the expert had to be rescued by the clown to put it all back together
I thought this might be the glock expert and was about to introduce myself when I realized that this expert was just trying to impress his friend and not put down the clown and the circus he preformed for so it could not be GLOCK MAN. Other than that, all I saw was a bunch of busy clerks trying their best to sevrve a very moderate bunch of well mannered customers. All and all, Wholesale Sports front end is very impressive. I will be back again.Covey Ridge said:Nuthin to see gitrdun. While I was there none of the stupid clowns were put in their place by any glock experts, but there was an 870 expert doing a demo for a newbie friend on how to strip an Express. Stripping went O.K.

pharaoh2 said:Ok I'll bite, and I promsise I will stop on this one. I wen't into the store to play with some new toys. I asked the guy to show me some interesting stuff, and he did. The problem was the guy didn't know his arse from a hole in the ground, and on several various firearms, couldn't figure out how this or that worked. I.e, the release side switches in the Glock pistol. He knew to release them, but couldn't figure out the rest. He was the one trying to show off, grabbing for the "Coolest" stuff, and not what I asked him to show me either. And might I add, was very cocky in doing so. I put him in his place, plain and simple. And he got pi$$ed. If you must launch personal insults, fine. But don't assume you know the whole story by reading a blurb. This is the most I've explained my actions in a long time, and probably the last. I have my reasons for being pi$$ed at some of them, but I don't get into that. Just as a quick sidenote, I left that store that day with a hefty bill as well. This is Glockman, over and out!
