It's bitter sweet. It was a soulless store with underpaid and often (rightfully) rude employees. The customer base was completely asinine where I used to go shop - some dude on the drum machine for way too long. Sweet, because when I was little I didn't see any of this and it was a marvelous store to go to and it made me learn music.
- gokhan 6y agoBeing underpaid does not legitimize being rude.
- xiphias2 6y agoThere's a minimum amount of money you need to pay to be able to attract competent sales people inside a shop in a stable way. I'm right now in a hotel, and I wish there would be half as many people who were doing their job well.
- systemvoltage 6y agoTrue, I meant that they had to deal with all these rude customers so it just becomes a pattern. It's not good to generalize, I concede.
- woah 6y agoI worked there a long time ago. The best performing salespeople had big customers who would buy a lot of gear at a time. 90% of the regular people walking through the door were just there to mess around, and would not purchase anything. If they came back later, ready to purchase something, another salesperson would be getting the commission. There was also high turnover. Those 3 factors can lead to rudeness.
