Try getting to know the "Joe" behindthe counter. If he's not interested in Sporting Goods but is stuck there, yeah, you might not get the best service. It's unfortunate, and I wish all Wal-Mart Associates gave 1/10th the effort the few of us good ones do. (Ironically, I work as a gunsmith in my second job, have worked gun counters before, and yet Wally World puts me in the soup aisle every night! (I know my soup and ramen noodles dang good as a result, too! ) Heck, I get the photo ID and rilfe or pistol treatment every time and I work there. Just for giggles, I tell the old blue-haired cashiers it's for a machine gun. (I wish!) It's good cheap fun. Having done some back-up cashiering, I know that you will lose that crappy paying job if you DON'T ask those questions. Some of the people there actually do need those jobs, so they comply. (I'm just waiting 'till my kids are old enough to stay home and not kill each other or turn the house into a shambles,so can go get a real day job.)
