YA YA its a shocker epsecially from someone like me but before anyone chews my ass off for this let me explain...
I have been getting a few people PMing me about the new guy who works for Dan at the gun shop.
His name is Andrew and he is rude to people he is disrespectful and today i went in and he threw me out of the gun shop because i asked him a question.
So i know a few of you would like to see him gone and i spoke with Dan about this several times and he is not prepaired to remove him from the shop so i am asking those of you who are not impressed with him to post on this thread and i will take it to dan so he can see whats really going on in his store.
The boycott comes in now, i think being how its hard earned money that supports his local small shop that we have the right to be treated with respect and as the saying goes the customer is always right i would suggest that we stop spending money there until he removes andrew.
Sound off lets hear your thoughts on this.
Wow! Where did this come from? I have bought several handguns, one shotgun, and one rifle at Mary’s, and you want to call for a boycott based on
one side of an encounter about which you’ve been completely ambiguous? Then, because they don’t fire him just for you, you want to trash talk them? Seriously?
I’ve read all your posts and I still don’t know what happened. So, what happened? What
really happened? I’ve been to Mary’s several times just to shoot the @#$%, and I’ve always found Andrew to be friendly and engaging. I think there must be far more to this story than you’re letting on, and possibly some responsibility you’ve not accepted.
Selling guns is their bread and butter, it’s how they make their house payments and put gas in their car. If Andrew was the person you’re making him out to be, they would never let him stay…..unless….there's more to this. Andrew threw you out “just because [you] asked a question?”
If I were to believe he threw you out
just because you asked “a question” (meaning one question), then I would have to believe he was completely insane, and if he were completely insane, Dan would have fired him, unless Dan was also completely insane, and if Dan were completely insane, the so must Mary as well. So we have, based on the logical extension of your call for a boycott, a gun shop in Tacoma owned and staffed by insane people who need to be locked up at Western State? I think I’d have to be insane to believe any of this!
If
you aren’t happy then don’t go there! Calling for a boycott and trying to damage their business is unbelievably rude. I have always been pleased with both the people and business practices at Mary’s Pistols. There’s a reason I keep going back there! When I wanted a Glock 20SF, I
didn’t go to Mary’s because I thought I could get a better deal from one of the Glock authorized sellers that are allowed to sell at ‘First Responder’ prices. I went to Federal Way Guns because they are one of those dealers. They wouldn’t sell it to me because they claimed the deal didn’t apply to
retired military members, only active duty military members. I left there, went to Mary’s, and Mary cut me a deal so close to the First Responder pricing that the difference was negligible, so I bought it. Federal Way Guns was wrong by the way, the deal is available to retired military. (I mentioned it to the owner there and he was angry his employees didn’t know this and had lost a sure sale, but not so angry he wanted to make it up to me in any way.) Do I need to mention the RFB I just bought there for $1250 when other dealers are marking them at the MSRP of $1800 (or more),
and getting that price?
If you don’t want to patronize Mary’s based on an incident about which you haven’t revealed any details, so be it. The rest of us will continue to shop there and get great guns from great people at great prices.
