Well I really got a co-worker thinking today. It’s actually taken a few weeks to have the need to come up with a plan. Back about 3-4 weeks I had a Cabela’s flyer on my desk. Lots of guys that come by have a look and bs for a moment. Well one guy, I guess might be a closet anti-gun type sees it and comments, gee that’s something to have that out with all the guns on it. I remarked yea, it’s Cablea’s flyer, he says a few more comments which I didn’t pay attention to, and I remarked just about everyone has seen it already.
Couple weeks later… Cabela's flyer on my desk again, several people have been by and checked it out and chatted, one manager even borrowed it for a closer look. Well here he comes again, and says wow, more guns stuff, I said yea it’s got some things I want and some good buys on ammo and I know others would like to have a look. He says; I don’t know… always having this stuff with guns out. Then comes the something about postal. I calmly ignored it and that was the end of the conversation and I went back to work. Well now its time for a plan.
The new Cabela’s flyer came yesterday so I took it to work and displayed the bait prominently at my desk today. Sure enough, he sees it and says another thing with guns, I said yep, not many gun or ammo buys, mostly clothes. Then I set the hook. I said “well it must make you really uneasy working in this building”. He says why’s that? Well about 90 percent (which is true) of the people in this building are gun owners/enthusiasts! Then comes the look in his eyes I then proceed to tell him that there’s always some sort of gun related hallway/coffee pot conversation at least once a day, then he gets the look again.
And that my friends was the end of the conversation
