The next time you go in there...ask them for a burger and fries, they'll understand that.
HA! I was thinking along the lines of extra cheese on the za.

I always feel sorry for the poor person who has to stand guard at the door to check everyone's purchase.
Why? That's a pretty skate job. It's usually a young hottie who stands around chatting with her hipster friends most of the time. The annoying thing about that setup is that it creates a bottleneck at the exit when several people are trying to leave.

Seems the one in Denver hires Hooters girls on their off days.

The GC by me has alot of the same shit, low end amps, low end guitars. Mostly a bunch of crap. I did play a Gibson LP GT 60's heritage w/P90's, been thinking about getting, but the 1 I played sucked. They have other higher end Gibsons, but they're hung up high and you have to stand around 10 min to get a guy to get one down, and they have no decent amps to try them out thru. It might be me but I don't care for the Egnaters or Line 6's.
I'd like to find a place close that has Mesa's & real marshalls, not the hazes or 15 watters.
I don't even buy socks n underwear there, I get that stuff on line, alot cheaper.
I am actually lucky to have a friend (live/recording engineer) that is a manager at one of the GC's here in Denver. His particular store is however 45 miles from me. He is one of the few good ones. It is a well known fact that GC will match any advertised price+10% of the difference. You can either find the price yourself, or have them look online right there. They do work on a slight bit of commission, but it and the pay is not enough to motivate knowledgeable people to work there.
Befriend a manager, and the commission goes away. I got my 1641 for $208 because B&H accidentally advertised it at cost. GC matched the price, plus the discount. You gotta go in more informed than the staff.
Guitar Center is great. Only pompous snobs carry hate for a retail store. You don't like it? Fine, don't go there. Just quit crying about it.
Yeah, you base your purchases on what you want. A storefront gives you the opportunity to try the product out. Use GC for what it is worth, as place to try out gear. Try a cymbal online and see what you get! LOL!
Tell me about it! That's how I got my mail order bride!
I wonder if I can park the Lexus on the sidewalk by the front door....
I could have sold $1K-2K worth of instruments in a 1/2 hour, just by making recommendations and talking to people - just give me $12 an hour + 5% commission!
you are seriously overestimating how much scratch most musicians have to spend on shiny new gear
