Fantabulous Day at Work

[Dionysusigma]

Well, today was my first day at Outdoor America. Needless to say, it was overwhelming, exciting, and fun all at the same time.

Spent the first hour/ hour+1/2 learning what to do with all the forms and such, what to check on the 4473 and all. Learned (and experienced) a lot of store policy, and had a heckuva lot of fun.

Ended up selling a Glock G17 + Streamlight M3, a Kimber Custom Target II, a Benelli Legacy 20ga w/ a 24" bbl, a Ruger Blackhawk (I think... I was dismissed to go to lunch in the middle of the sale) and various accessories. Not too bad for a first day, I guess.

Felt like I clocked in at 9:30, worked 45min, took lunch for a half hour, worked another 10min, and then we closed the store at 5:00. Needless to say, I've never enjoyed a job quite as much as this.

Just thought I'd tell someone before I explode from excitement. Never thought my first professional gun sale would be a Glock, though.

Glad you're having fun. "Work' is a good thing when the time flies, hopefully, you won't get burned out on the Gomers and routine BS. It's a great opportunity to provide good service, share some knowledge, and make people happy. Illegitimi non carborumdum

If it's not fun, you're in the wrong job.

Well done!

Congrats on the great day at work; but I'm afraid that as time goes on
you will see the thrills and excitement vanish. Dealing with John
Q. Public does have its thrills and excitement; but also may have lots
of challenges. I wish the best for you, with continued success. Enjoy

There will be customers that are conducting their own colonoscopy while in the gunshop, but the average customer should be a pleasant experience.

I too like dealing with customers and helping them find what they want.

I'm very, very jealous. Congrats!
