<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 388453, member: 8033&quot;]VERY good point and a good way to go about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Behind the counter is a different world Greg. A lot of what I do at the shop is &quot;run interference&quot;. It&#039;s not that the owner doesn&#039;t like YNs. We have a 14 year old &quot;intern&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>What it boils down to is if he&#039;s working on a $3000 deal and someone walks in for a state quarter where is he going to focus?</p><p>I&#039;ll sell the quarter while he takes care of the serious business. It&#039;s not just YNs either.</p><p><br /></p><p>I worked retail for a long time before this. I tend to greet customers more than anyone at the shop. If I ask them &quot;is there anything in particular you&#039;re looking for?&quot; and they answer &quot;no just browsing&quot; should I shadow them? This happens every day.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I spend an hour to sell $3 worth of coins when I could have been tearing into a set the boss just bought my time and HIS money is better spent tearing the collection apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>THEN when someone comies in looking for a 32-D Washington quarter we know exactly where it is. A five minute deal puts a few hundred n the till.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin shops are businesses after all. Those are the facts.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOW as for the experience you had where no one even had the courtesy to greet you and things were overpriced. I&#039;d simply avoid a place like that period.</p><p><br /></p><p>They prejudged without talking to you. Their loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
