I stopped in last Tuesday, December 16 in the afternoon, deli tickets were out but I went in anyway. Wasn't overly packed inside but steady for sure with an abundance of guys behind the counter helping people. Wanted to have a look at the HK P30SK so one gentleman had one being shown to him and before the sales guy took it away I asked if I could take a look at it as well. Well, you would have thought I'd asked the curmudgeon to hold his 1st born grandson with the look and attitude he gave me. Never had any issue with any of the guys in there but this prick was just miserable. Older fella in his 60's, grayish/brown greasy hair, slight build, glasses, didn't get his name and don't care to ever deal with him again.
As I said though, every other person I've had dealings with in FS has been spot on great and helpful. I'll probably go back after the New Year and pick up that HK P30SK.
Maybe you interupted his transaction with the customer he was dealing with and he was hoping you would wait until it was your turn to be waited on,so that he could focus his full attention on his current customer who had waited patiently until it was his turn.

Maybe they asked the old jerk back, to help with the Christmas rush? Hopefully he'll be back in retirement, after the holidays. I never had any real problems with him, but a lot of people did.
I didn't realize that this guy had a history of being a jerk, if it's one and the same.
Sounds like the same guy, but of course, I can't confirm it without a visit there. Anyone else see the old coot this week?
Would that be Jeff?
Nope, definitely wasn't Jeff, I'm familiar with him.
Seriously guys, doesn't an insanely busy shop like Four Seasons have a "one customer at a time" policy for its salespeople? I'm pretty sure it does. I think that's why I've had to wait a few times (and even walked out one time) when I couldn't get a salesperson to ring up some simple ammo purchases. When customers outnumber salespeople as much as 6:1 at times, I don't think it would be a great or wise store policy to allow display guns to be handed around like you are expecting.I was thinking it might be Tom. He's been missing for quite a while.

They have deli counter tickets for a reason. You are not next in line until your number is called. The person "next in line" might be standing behind you looking at ammo.I don't know what you're talking about with your last sentence. Some kind of safety hazard??? I don't think Apples was cutting in line, or anything like that. It was his turn, and he wanted to see that gun. What is wrong with that?
I think they have an express register for persons buying non-gun items.when I couldn't get a salesperson to ring up some simple ammo purchases.s 6:1 at times,

On some days yes, or at least they call it that. But I avoid the busy days (and busiest times) like the plague.I think they have an express register for persons buying non-gun items.
I've been waited on by pretty much everyone in there over the years. Some are better and quicker than others. None were ever so bad or so slow that I wouldn't go back. Carl is the man and Four Seasons will always be my "go to" shop.Have you ever dealt with Tom?? What Them Apples is complaining about is legitimate. He was trying to make it easier on an employee by saving him from putting the gun away. There's no reason to be surly to a customer, for doing what he did. Tom was always like this to almost everyone! He treated people very badly, and I can't say I was sad to see him leave.
In that case you're right, but we don't know if he was finished with the last customer, or not. They don't have the ticket dispenser out 24/7. Even if he overstepped his bounds, he shouldn't have been treated like that. It wasn't a disaster causing mistake.
kinda makes you drop to your knees and say an act of contrition when touched by the hand of god, doesn't it?Carl personally shook my hand and thanked me for my first purchase.
