What possible good can it do to beat up on an unidentified small business operator?

Things like this are a problem with shopping local and why people end up at big box stores.
Call first
Do they have a phone number? This time of year and with covid I like to call ahead for this exact reason.I was off from work today so I headed to my LGS/indoor range for some shooting, but they were closed. Last week on the 24th I went there to see what they had in stock and they were also closed.
I'd be less annoyed if they had posted a sign listing their holiday hours when I was there on the 24th (their regular hours are written in magic marker on a piece of paper). And they were open during this past week as I saw cars in their parking lot.
Things like this are a problem with shopping local and why people end up at big box stores. Which is what I ended up doing. On Monday I went to Bass Pro to check on ammo and they had a Ruger American Ranch in 556 for sale.
Maybe not, but praising small, LGSs, while running down large, conglomerate sporting goods stores is kind of a tradition.Not all small local businesses are deserving of our support.
So you know what you can do with your ignorant whine comment.
Between working my behind off as an "essential" employee and taking care of elderly mother who has cancer I don't appreciate having my valuable downtime wasted because a local business can't be bothered to notify their customers when they will be closed.
But your right, maybe I'll save my time not be bothered with THR. I stopped posting here for about 10 years and didn't seem to miss out on anything important
That's fair--there are plenty of places if all you want is an echo chamber.But your right, maybe I'll save my time not be bothered with THR. I stopped posting here for about 10 years and didn't seem to miss out on anything important
