And I'm trying to say I understand it to a degree, yet at the same time trying to give you some rationale so you understand it as well.
The problem with your theory on "salesmanship" is sort of messed up as well. People that are actually buying really need no sales help, they've made up their mind and are buying so it's just a matter of what to buy - whereas people that are shopping are the biggest time-wasters for salesment there are because those people really aren't buying and no amount of salesmanship can make a sale. So they spend an inoridinate amount of time, in 90% of cases, for nothing.
Sorry, but that's just what sales statistics reveal.

And honestly, though modelsport may not remember every customer that walks in the door - they damn sure remember every one of them that have bought a kit recently. And, as I alluded to earlier, they know the ones that are going to nickel and dime them to death - wanting great service, advice, etc., yet spending little money. And money is what keeps the doors open.

I hear what you're saying, but it just does't make much sense - at least not in the greater scheme of things. And I'm not justifying rude treatment, if that's actually what happened - and considering that you suggested that you received similar treatment in three different stores it makes me think that either you're exaggerating what actually happened, or maybe you were rude or demanded special treatment. I'm not sure.

Not trying to start an argument either. All I was trying to do was offer up another way of seeing things.

you sound like one off them of the apprentiece lol
