[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 23234, member: 67"] Re: GC Sign Fail Hi Steve- I set foot in a Banjo Depot for the first time, ever, last week when I needed an iLok "right fuckin' now." Our local store is about 4-5 years old now, so it's still physically okay. The 'greeter' sent me to the accessories dept. After standing at the counter for about 2 minutes I was noticed and addressed by a clerk, who spent 5 minutes looking for an iLok. Another clerk finally said "that might be over in Audio." So there I go. It took several minutes to be acknowledged as a customer, probably because of my small breasts or non-youthful appearance. :lol: I finally had to LOUDLY say "Hey, I'm here to actually BUY something!" What should have taken about 5 minutes took nearly 20. It was apparent that whatever training the clerks are given, "how to recognize a buyer" isn't covered. I shop our local "dad and son" store whenever possible, but they didn't have an iLok in stock that day. My visit to GC probably won't, by necessity, be my last, but it confirmed why I like our locally owned stores better. It IS about service. The minuscule difference in price means nothing and it helps my neighbors stay in business. [/QUOTE]
