[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by loathar I hate that "your keeping me from my sandwich" attitude. [/quote] Yep sounds like you've been to Oddo's train and hobbies in McKeesport, PA. Basically the guy had the personality of a warthog and the place looked like a dark, dingy, old dungeon. Basically a complete hole in the wall. I had a question about paint for a CSX engine and his reply was What the hell kind of an engine would be gray and blue? (Despite the glaring fact CSX runs near his shop.) So as a result I did my shopping elsewhere. I like to feel like when I go to a shop the owner is paying attention to me the customer and not his sandwich or the ballgame. I like to feel welcome. I'm not saying I expect huzzahs and handstands and them to roll out the red carpet but a friendly hello and answers to my questions is fair if I'm going to be spending money in your shop. Hmmm maybe this could be why "the hobby is dying". Maybe idiots like him chased all the young customers out. Any hobby or business that doesn't get any new members often dies.
