So, I'm at Dick's Sporting Goods Today. My kids wanted to go check some stuff out, so I took them. Of course, they know I will allow them to buy stuff from there, but I will not spend a penny there.
I go peruse the gun counter and the fella asks if he can help me.
I say "Still not selling ARs."
He says no.
I say "Think you'll ever start selling them again."
He says no.
I say "That's a shame."
He says something really close to "Yeah. We just don't have the manpower to sell them."
I walk away. As I'm walking away, I'm thinking about what he said and how stupid it sounded. I really want to walk back and ask him exactly how what he said makes any sense or if that's just what he's come up with to tell people to avoid saying I work for a trash-store that craved to political pressure.
I suppose it is possible that they'd need another person to work the counter to sell all those ARs. And of course, hiring additional people because something sells a lot is a bad thing for a retail store....
Thought this was funny - hell of a bad scheme for marketing.
