So here's the deal.
I called a company late last week about picking up some rifles and other items they had on sale for Labor Day. I checked their web site several times to see if there were any other things "I needed" to add to the want list. I contacted two buddies and took orders from them. I went by my FFL Dealer and got a hard copy of his FFL to ship the fire arms to. Emailed the company last week but never heard back, still have not for that matter.
I drove down today in about a hours worth of heavy rain and 2.5 hours of over cast and light rain. Got to the company's store front at 10 minutes until opening. At 10 minutes after the store is posted to open me and several other customers were told to leave and come back in two hours. Now to make things clear there is a BBQ with presidential hopefuls and other state elected officials from 4 to 7 pm at the store today as well. The BBQ and political event is clearly posted on the stores web site. Just checked and there is still no mention of altered store hours. It's my guess the owners pushed back the store opening because of the political rally being held there; but what gripes me is no mention of change of hours anywhere not even a sign at the place of business. Also, the lackadaisical attitude of being dismiss out of hand and told I can come back latter as if they are doing me a favor. I truly despise being taken for granted as a customer by anyone I'm willing to do business with. Anyway, I wrote them and told them I'm finished as a customer and explained why. Was able to do it without even resorting to profanity.
So what do you think, is the company completely shit birds or did the 3.5 hour drive home in the rain stewing on it get the best of me.
