<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rower41, post: 1398111, member: 36826&quot;]I stopped in the shop yesterday; had a list about half a dozen Lincoln&nbsp; Cents...all Wheaties AU and Early proofs (pre 1950&#039;s),&nbsp; chosen from&nbsp; their website I have interest.</p><p>I tell the clerk if they have these I would like to look them over.</p><p>Clerk asked if I was interested in buying...I said no...not initially;&nbsp; this is my first time in the shop and I wanted to check out their stock&nbsp; and grading/prices to get familiar with what they have vs my needs.</p><p>He brings out 4 from my list and says &quot;not to be an ******* but I can&#039;t&nbsp; keep bringing out coins to look over if you&#039;re not interested in&nbsp; buying&quot;.</p><p>How is THIS to talk to a counter customer???</p><p>I asked what&#039;s the problem...it&#039;s not like I asked for 30 coins and am&nbsp; loitering in the shop wasting time. I was in the shop only 5 minutes so&nbsp; far tops. I perused and chose 2 Coinworld magazines to purchase; I&nbsp; initially went there to get a newest copy of the Redbook but they had&nbsp; none.</p><p>The clerk said he was there to sell coins, not to let people look over&nbsp; stuff so he would not bring any more out without a commitment to&nbsp; purchase first...evidently sight unseen.&nbsp; So its...you no buy, no coins&nbsp; for you. They surely discouraged over-the-counter service...and did so&nbsp; in spades.</p><p><br /></p><p>During my wait for the coins two employees were discussing telephone&nbsp; customers...and in a very disparaging manner. The younger of the pair&nbsp; turned to me and asked if he could help me because &quot;I was sitting there&nbsp; staring at them&quot;. I replied I was just waiting for the other clerk and&nbsp; could not help but listen in the tiny showroom. It was very bizarre.</p><p><br /></p><p>Th shop goes under the name Annapolis Coin Exchange, especially for&nbsp; buying gold and silver, for its storefront. Behind the door in the back&nbsp; its the Mt Vernon Coin Company for internet sales. Their Better Business&nbsp; Bureau certificate states they have a B rating...I&#039;m surprised its THAT&nbsp; high.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told him that I would have purchased the 1932 Proof but he can keep it...AND the magazines I was going to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes clerk...you meant to be an *******. </p><p><br /></p><p>And succeeded. </p><p><br /></p><p>Goodbye.</p><p><br /></p><p>No internet sales from me for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
