got to love those LFS employees

[mark]

Yes I did start this as a bit of a rant but my point; I had done the research, I consciously chose to support a LFS over mail order (realizing in all likely-hood I'd be paying more), I didn't not ask for advise, just where was the product located, I only stated what the product was for to maybe simplify the search.

I realize the salesperson role is the generate sales for the company but when the product was not available I didn't need the misinformation nor a sales job on what I didn't want. I wasn't there to be self important to the LFS employee by asking for a product I guess he was unaware of, I just wanted some filter socks. A "no, we don't stock those" would have been fine.

I don't think anyone would think that what happened to you is good behaviour on the part of the LFS guy. I was more trying to explain why stores can't hold onto better staff. A low paying job is one thing but a low paying job where you have to deal with the public is tough.

You should be commended for making the choice to support a local shop in the first place.
