BigDaddyIf the owners intention was to shame you into spending more, I would buy online in the future.
My thoughts exactly. A shop owner should never discuss what other customers spend because to me its just unethical to do so..

Assuming bi-weekly means twice a month and not twice a week, that is still 12 grand a year. If I owned the LHS I would want all my customers to spend that much.
It's just as likely the 10 customers, before the two spendthrifts, bought a bottle of paint, or a pack of rail connectors, a bottle of glue or nothing at all.
I'm old school, but back when my dad was in retail mens wear, we never discussed what other customers spent with customers. If the owners intention was to shame you into spending more, I would buy online in the future.

Yes you are right I should not have pulled the post. Yes I did not get the response that i wanted to hear. I seem to be the outsider here and will take my medicine for it. I have been a lonewolf modeler for 50 plus years and now i know why I stayed that way. Of the 1461 readers of my post 44 (at this time) took the time to respond, that talks plenty. I was wrong the LHS owner was wrong. I will retreat back to my train room and enjoy what I have because I really don't need new stuff. anyhow
