We lost a good guy, that young one has a lot to live up to.
Managers/store owners thread?

I know you loved your job Sam, but questioning the direction the company has been taking and voicing your disapproval contradicts company policy.
We hope you will be happy in whatever field you choose to pursue in the future.

I laughed. Funnily enough, he did criticised the company more than once when I was there.
Not that you say it, it might be the reason he had to "move on".
>>47115061
>not pushing products on you
I'd say there's your reason.

High-pressure tactics don't work very well in a demographic like ours where many people have some sort of anxiety disorder or social issues. Pressuring them just scares them off and makes them not come back for fear of being forced to interact with them.
Neckbeards are like deer - you gotta let them come to you on their time. You can lay out bait, but if they suspect that it's bait they're not gonna go for it, and will instead just shit all over your yard and then run away.not saying it's not a likely reason, just that it's actually a pretty logical approach.

>shit all over your yard and then run away
I get the feeling that's a bit too apt of a comparison.
>>47115061
You're very clearly a reasonable person if someone having tattoos is enough to dismiss them entirely as a human being.

Thirty years of research in professional selling demonstrates that it doesn't work at all in any demographic. It just makes you feel tougher while you sell, and makes managers feel like they're working harder.

You think the majority of people that engage in a highly social activity like TTRPGS have social anxiety? Why are you believing in the memes that all sci-fi fans are just awkward spergs? That wasn't even a true stereotype at any point in time.
>>47116777
I have depression. I would not return gladly to a shop with a pushy dipshit in it.
>>47116777
you must be one of those awkward spergs because I would never be seen anywhere with the people at my flgs/gaming group beyond a gaming capacity.
>>47116777
Unfortunately I've seen a lot of people at FLGS with some kinda problem. It's true not all of us are like this but there is a notable ammount. Sterotypes exist for a reason.

You're focusing on the wrong bit, Anon.

>that young one has a lot to live up to
I'd say that's a fairly reasonable and open minded statement. I don't read any judgement on that new guy, apart from the "hipster" bit. Do you?
>GW guy is an amicable, albeit obese, guy in his late 20s
>Pushes product, but not too hard
>Is actually cool to just talk to and has a genuine love for the hobby
>Store's core group of customers is about 15-20 college students and a few locals with a 1/3 split of fantasy to 40k players
>Age of Sigmar happens
>Customers drop down to seven people playing 40k once a week
>manager is fired for lack of sales
>replaced by some 7 foot tall broseph looking guy
Haven't been back in the store for longer than five minutes at a time since. No reason to go anymore.
