Average irritating salesman...

The story begins with me having an ailing Boss DS-1. I took it to this place down the road that is an authorized Roland service center, it's called The Piano and Organ Center.

Anyway, I bring it up to who looks like the manager, tell him I'd installed a couple new caps, little mods. He asks me how much it is new, I tell him about $50. He looks at me like I'm retarded. He asks me why not get a new one, since the repair people are paid $40 an hour.:11: He tells me (and this is important)...

"He's just trying to save me money."

So he then says, "why don't we look in the catalog..." and he finds a DS-2, and he starts yapping about why he thinks the DS-2 is better and blah blah blah, and tells me he could give me a deal...

:bsflag:

and that for $80 I could get the DS-2 new (not that I'd want it anyway) and I wouldn't have to mod it (But I WANT TO!!!).

Bloody salesman.:butkick:
 
dude that sucks, i don't think many salesmen in music stores actully know what people do with the stuff they buy from them nor do they know anything about their products.
 
I hate dealing with most sales people. They only (And this is a generalization. It does not apply to EVERY one-) want to make monry.

Why is that? It's got to be the only field where you could get away with that ****.
 
The minute a salesguy gives me two "wrong" answers, or sometimes only one, I ditch him and shop "my way."
Like a horse with blinders on, till I get my way.
 
He was really annoying. And he called me back once as I was on my way out of the store, he seemed kind of desperate to sell me this f***ing DS-2. :mad:

"Oh just think about it okay? Won't you consider it? You will think about won't you?" :2:

I hate salespeople who treat you like a retard. :mad:
 
I hate how if I tell one I'm into death/thrash/power/black metal, they get an SS amp, drop tune, scoop mids, and just strum and go "like that right? you dont wan't a tube amp! I was just at a death metal concert, all I saw was randall's!!!"

AHGHHHH SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!!!

sorry...

sorry...

i feel your pain, in a different sort of way.... at guitar center, since i'm a kid, they assume that i'm in to newer pop-punk music, so they give me a cheap strat and a crate SS amp.... why do they even have to give me things?? I know what i want.... and i don't want a cheap guitar, OR an SS amp. They can't seem to understand that i know the difference between a squier and an american series, and they can't fathom that i like to play blues....

:rolleyes:

Thats why i like to go to Heart of Texas Music whenever i can now. god bless you, Ray Hennig....
 
I can relate, I went to GUITARCENTER yesterday. I saw a limo out front, and of course, there was some weird couple - guy was tryin out guitars - in the prs section.

of course, I just took a gibson sg and plugged it into a triple rectifier, playing metal/death metal as loud as possible, until the

"emo squad" guitarcenter employee told me to turn it down. How can you listen to a triple rectifier if it is not turned up????

I did however, buy 12 packs of ernie ball slinky regular strings for $35. that made me happy.

it was a good day for metal/hardrock!
