[quote user="riogrande5761"]It doesnt matter who started the conversation. Fact or not, this is information the hobby shop owner should NOT be discussing with other customers. Unethical at the very least and poor judgement. Being "just people" is no excuse IMO. Unacceptable and this guy should not be at all surprised if he loses customers, and as my wife would say, his own daft fault![/quote] If he mentioned no names, and the OP initiated the conversation, then there are no ethics involved in my opinion. [quote user="riogrande5761"]Its ok to dream but good luck with that. Women model railroaders are statistical outlyers and extremely rare. What is it they say: its good to have goals but if you did find a wife who was into trains youd be lucky and part of a fairly exclusive and elusive club[/quote] Yep I am a member of that club, and she also agrees with me on this, so I'm thrice lucky I guess.  That having been said, I agree with you that if the OP did not initiate the conversation, then yes, it would be improper for the proprietor to bring up other other customers spending, names or not.
