    I’ve had mostly good experiences with Mike’s. Usually good, friendly service.
    One problem they do have is the good ol’ boys hanging around at the Jay store.
    I stopped in last week to buy a gun cleaning kit for a Christmas present.
    Several locals were hanging around talking trucks.
    I looked at the gun displays. Nobody said a word to me. I bought the kit and left.
    Now, I don’t expect an employee to roll out the red carpet but a “hey, how’s it going?” would be nice.
    I’ve always said that nothing will kill a business faster than the owner’s buddies hanging around.
    It makes the customer feel like an outsider.

    I buy where ever I can get the best price, that includes my time and gas money. So where ever the total cost is the least.

    This thread is a good reminder to make sure we are aware of the store return policy before we complete the purchase. Many times our wife or friends buy us things that might be the wrong size or make for items like birthday or xmas gifts etc.... Would hate to know that a refund would not be given "if the appropriate size etc was not in stock to exchange" and I would never shop there again. This is with any store not just gun stores.

    I would surely hope that some of the local shop owners would see this in the forum and wake up as to why they’re in business at all. They should never have forgotten. I still have no idea what I’ll do with this extra case. Probably just keep it around as a reminder where NOT to go to buy.
