We hope..

but there are still a few stores a few minutes away that he could have gone to that WE know would make the sale no questions asked.

Hopefully this customer understood why the smaller stores did this.

+1 - its all about knowledge.....which most LFS's have. Its using it properly. You might have a unhappy customer in the beginning. But once they start gaining the knowledge...they will understand.

Good job Bean!

Agree, good on her! But also to have the owner of said store announce he is happy she did the right thing even though he lost money. That says something as well. BIG plus in my books on seeing this from both employees and store owners.

Bean's such a PITA, Everytime I talk about putting sharks in my SPS cube, she has to come along and throw reality back at me and totally bust my unplanned, retard bubble.

Agreed.... She has come a long way.... so has her dog.
