[QUOTE="Steve Milner, post: 858, member: 9"] I picked up a used Mackie HUI controller today to get some faders to use with Logic... and found myself needing a simple midi to usb adaptor cable. So, reluctantly I headed off to the local GC, which I have not been to in YEARS. The place was in absolute shambles... I haven't been following how their business is doing at all, but the place looked like an abandoned bus station... inside and out. Shelves were somewhat bare of stock, what they had in was in horrible condition for display models, there was literally garbage... stains... nastiness all over the floors. I quickly found the cable I needed and then had the pleasure of standing in line for 10 minutes or so to pay for it. I might add that the people amassed in front of me in line were not actually purchasing anything... a lot of question asking and speculative answers from the staff. The staff were so casual, I actually witnessed TWO different employes take personal cell phone calls while "assisting a customer"... even going so far as to complain to the person on the other end about having to go to help the guy trying to ask his question!!! The same salesman actually used the word shit 4 times in answering one guys question about a DJ mixer. I paid up and got out of there... amazed at the experience. This isn't a rant... I don't go there often enough to care... it was just kinda funny and VERY disappointing at the same time. The sign on the front of the shop kinda says it all.
