| - I write this not to sound harsh, but to maybe inform the buy something or get out attitude a few have at the store... A few months ago I stopped by to pick-up a bag, lens and some filters, I had spent about 30 minutes looking at bags, seeing which would fit my equipment better, something the sales clerk told me to do and was kindly helping me find, we then went to the counter with bag in hand, pulled out the 2 lens and filters needed (About $5000.00 on the counter) and this guy pipes up and yells who's blue truck is that in the parking lot, you need to move it???? What I ask, as I am one of three customers in the store at the time. He then tells me there busy time is coming up and you have been parked to long (At this point I have been there about 50 minutes), I guess parking cost more than $100 per minute there as that was what I was just about to spend in product... I said I will move it in a few, I guess that was not the answer he was looking for and sneered a bit and said something under his breath.
No Problem I thought, I looked the sale gent that was so kind in spending some time helping me find what I was looking for and instead of truly saying what was on my mind at the time, turned and walked out... I know that the money I was about to spend more than likely meant nothing to them as a whole, but in this instants someone else got that sale that day.
As a side note, I want to say that the Camera store is my go to store, and more often than not the service is excellent and the pricing is competitive with a sales staff that you can tell loves the profession, Just that no one seemed to want to get involved and say/stand up to this guy at the time, calm down, so hence the comments here.
