| - Not so much. I think I spoke to the owners when I went in the store in Dec. The lady was very eager to help and nice, her husband, bald guy....started out ok, but....I had asked for a quote on some protein powder, a larger purchase to see if I could get a deal if I bought in bulk. (no pun intended) He left for a minute.
The lady and I were laughing over a sarcastic comment I had made, NOT intending to upset anyone (why would I want to upset anyone? I was in there asking for help, and ready to order over $1,000 in product.)
Anyway, he came back out, and must have misunderstood what I said... he only heard a couple words of her and my conversation...threw his pen and pad of paper on the counter and quoted the regular price. I asked if he was upset, he walked off saying something, obviously upset...I told her good luck. Maybe I just caught him on a bad day, I get it.
I have always been a huge fan of GNC, they are a great company. They were one of the first "go to" nutritional product stores, even in my small hometown. Sometimes, they may get a younger person who doesn't really know much about the products, but they are usually love health and wellness and are eager to find the answer. I was sponsored by my old local GNC, I was proud to support and represent a local business.
This day, I was so bummed and turned off by GNC. I had walked next door looking for a cool Christmas tree ornament in Hallmark, all I remember was that dude was so rude and ruined my ornament shopping adventure. As a person who has been in the fitness industry for over 25 years, 20 of that as a strength coach and educator, 10 year bodybuilder/figure/bikini competitor, owned my own Personal Training business and a leading Fitness Manager for an industry Gold Standard...I will kindly pay more and drive to Tucson if I can get better service.
