You know what? YOU are the sort of buyer who should not be allowed to walk into a store.  Why do you walk in there? You know enough about the goods any way.  Ah but you like to look at the merchandise, see it hear it touch it feel its operation.  Why don't you just go online, sight unseen and buy it?  Or go to the el cheapo wharehouse and get it there?  Oh but you wanna see it working, you wanna try it out,or because you like the convenience and comfort of the shop.  YOU might know this but YOU have just USED a SERVICE, taken up someones time who needs to earn a living from providing that service. It costs them MONEY to provide you with that shop front service. Next time you go to work to your job go in there without taking any pay for your time say half an hour each day for the next year, and explain to your family why you didn't get paid as much this year

Sorry man, I dont take crap from anyone.  If you throw some my way, I throw it right back.  Just because I'm a moderator does not mean I have to take what people say to me.  I speak my mind, sorry if it hurt anyones feelings.

I don't take any crap from anyone either, including moderators , thats why I said what I did.  BTW I'm not a salesperson, and if YOU and others think its OK to shop the way you do thats YOUR perogative, but that doesn't make it right or more worthy.  

Your role as the moderator is remove posts that don't meet posting guidelines, not posts you don't agree with it.  Sound like you might have missed your calling in Joe Stalins ministry.

my purpose in deleting posts like yours is because its bashing, off-topic and pointless.  If I hurt peoples or salespeople's feelings by not buying from their store, again, my choice and I dont care.  I've noticed quite often when users whine on this site or any Amiga site they see in their eyes that its "ok" to whine and complain and berate others.  As soon as a authority figure corrects them they complain of censorship.  I can only please one person per day, today is probably not your day.  Again, sorry.

This will be my last point on this.

Its not about hurting anybody's feelings but at the end of the day if you are going to use up their time and facilities without any intention of purchasing then be upfront about it:  Give them the choice to not bother serving you and even asking you to leave their store if they want. Thats fair.

Unfortunately your post exhibited a very low opinion of retail workers, and regrettably thats all too common. Not all salespeople lack knowledge and intelligence, only the bad ones. I recently needed an external USB DVD drive for my HP 2133 mininote just to install some other software that was on CD.  The salesperson suggested I use the dvd drive in my desktop pc, create a wireless network and mount the dvd drive on the mininote.  He did this for free and didn't sell me a USB DVD Drive. But I bought a wireless mouse instead -which I could get anywhere-because of his service.  Would I get that service from a hardware warehouse or online store?  Its not just about who's cheapest.

We are ALL in a sense salesman: we either sell our services to our employers/customers or goods that we make.  No-one likes to provide that for nothing.
