So I needed some new tires and a state inspection. I called treadquarters yesterday. They had two of the tires I wanted, and could have the other two in the next day (today). I got a call that they were in so I drove on over. Right after I walk in I'm asked if I'm "on duty". Uh, no? He said that he respects my gun rights but customers complain about people carrying, that he has the right to make rules (no argument there) and asked me to lock it in my car. I said "but my car will be in there", pointing to the garage. He said he knows, none of his guys will touch it... Yeah, this sounds like a brilliant idea, obviously that's unacceptable. I told him no thanks, I'll just go somewhere else then. He said I could also stand outside instead, and kept emphasizing that he has the right to not allow people to carry. I told him he absolutely has that right... just like I have the right not to buy from him if I'm not welcome. He told me I'm not being asked to leave, I just can't be armed. I once again told him I will go somewhere else instead and walked out. He seemed to be in disbelief that anyone would actually leave instead of complying with what I'm sure he saw as a completely reasonable request. So anyways, avoid Treadquarters on Mercury. I do wonder if its a corporate policy. He has obviously dealt with OC'ers before. I'll be sure to mail them my receipt from wherever I end up going instead... Anyone have any recommendations?
