I remember being paid $5 a day as a youngster to go and sweep and mop the store rite before closing 3 days a week and during deer season before I could hunt, I would help him with the processing. When I wasn't in the woods or at the river fishing, I used to just hang out there and watch them fix bows, fix guns, rig fly rods etc. I learned a lot listening to the guys who came in. This was a very memorable time in my life and I wish I could still hang out at a place like that. I still chuckle when I think of the select few guys that knew if the put .75 cents in the soda machine and hit the out button, they would get an ice cold PBR. Conversation & friendly service was just unmatched compared to the major name brand stores that have ran these small places out. Just sad.

MK M GBL, I hope you, or anybody else here that may work at one of the big stores didn't take offense at my post, it wasn't intended that way. If the store I'm talking about would hire people with the knowledge of the outdoors, the respect and courtesy that you and the others here put forth, I'd probably see things a little differently. I'd still miss my old shop and the guy that ran it though. Bob
