I visited the Lynnwood location a couple times. I don't recall dealing with rudeness from behind the counter but I can attest to their ridiculously high prices. I even asked the sales guy why their prices were so high lol. This was years ago so I don't remember his answer but I do remember thinking 'what a load of crap' it was. They had a .22 rifle in stock that I wanted for about $150 too much. They wouldn't budge on the price either so I never went back. Ammo, accessories, guns- all overpriced.
Management/sales stuck in the 1980s and unable to accept that almost every customer has a price comparison tool in their pocket.
You can't trick customers any longer into thinking that certain items are worth twice what they are. Ignorance is one thing, and a good shop will make a deal if you can show them what current market price is. Artificially jacking up prices on everything is just going to push me out of the store, and I won't come back.
I understand that stores have overhead.. However I am not paying 20-40% more for a given item than what online sellers are charging. Not ever gonna happen. Even 10% is a stretch.
