Since I have a day off, I called CAI to pick up some ammo and (hopefully) a few other things.
Here are some highlights of the conversation that ensued:
"I'd like two boxes of your AMO39 7.62x54R CZ 147gr."
"We have a $75 minimum."
"Okay."
"Well, we have a $75 minimum."
"Okay - well, the boxes are $80 each."
"WELL DO NOT SAY BOXES! THIS WHOLE TIME YOU HAD ME THINKING BOXES!"
"Sorry. But you don't sell Czech 7.62x54R in boxes."
"Say CRATES! What you mean is CRATES!"
......
"I see that you have some air rifles, AR003. Can I get one of those?"
"Which one do you want, the Good or Very Good ones?"
"What's the difference?"
"Why don't you read the catalog?"
"I'm looking at your website right now. The description is exactly the same for both."
"Read the catalog."
....
"Okay, you've all the info you need - what's the total right now?"
"I have no idea."
"You have no idea."
"I have no idea. Look, I'll just enter it in the computer later."
....
Hehhe -
This is in contract to my conversation with another guy, I believe his name was Keith Hendrickson. That guy was awesome... this one, his name is Herb... well... I had this mental image of someone with a ball peen hammer and 10 thumbs doing "gunsmithing".
