[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 3238058, member: 6592"] I've never hidden the fact that I work in a Walmart sporting goods department, so you guys are hurting my feelings... or you would be, if I cared! I like to say that I'm trying to be that "unicorn"--a Walmart sporting goods associate who knows guns and ammo and will give you good service. That I am was brought home to me when I called another store. A customer didn't like the Marlin 336 we had in the gun tower (the only one we had that day, IIRC) and asked me to call around to see if any nearby stores also had one. I called the closest store and, when I finally got someone on the line, I asked them if they had a Marlin 336 in stock. His reply? "What's that?" Now, at the time, we only carried two Marlins--the 336 and the 60. I had to describe it to him and he had to go to the gun locker to see if he had one. Why he didn't use the A&D log is beyond me. BTW, if you come to my store and I'm not in the department, I can be reached by radio. It's not a store radio, it's mine. I bought it shortly after I started working in the department since if I waited until the store provided me with a radio I'd still be waiting now, almost four years later. If I'm not right there, I'm either on the other side of the store (I don't move as fast as I used to,) in the rest room, or helping another customer outside of sporting goods (at night, I have to cover the paint counter and the fabric table, too.)
