<p>[QUOTE="Pilkenton, post: 1011472, member: 23961"]The "loiterers" at the shops I go to are much more helpful to my needs than the owners and don't mind talking to you. After being snubbed by the owner when i asked where the ASE's were displayed, some old fella sitting there got up and led me to the display case I needed. I thanked him politely, looked at the display and left. If the owner doesn't want to sell to me, I don't want to buy from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>There used to be a baseball card shop I used to go to. This guy was classy. This guy would go out of his way to help you. Granted, this was in the early 1990s when packs were less than a buck a pack. I needed one common card to complete my Donruss Baseball set. I bought at least five packs a day. One day I came in with my young son. He opened up a new box and opened about half the packs in the box before he found the card I needed, which he gave me for free. Not only that, he took all the loose cards that he opened, put them in a small storage box, and handed them to my son.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
