this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Its about supply and demand. If there is no demand in your area for it then why the hell should they put the items on there selves? Its business... Don't take it personal....

Re: The ULTIMATE disrespect!!!
Ok Euph. I understand basic economics. But, yes, I do take it personally. If I needed to go out and buy a Detroit Lions garbage can, I know I have that covered here in Rosa. But if I want a Saints keychain, I have to order it online, because apparently, in a store, that supposedly is an NFL specialty shop, which last time I checked, the Saints are an NFL team by the way, doesn't feel the need to carry them.
Point being, if this was just a "regional" thing, then fine, I wouldn't be that worried about it. BUT, being that they have browns, texans, and bucs stuff, so obviously it's not regional. That's the point. |

Re: The ULTIMATE disrespect!!!
Even NFL specialty shops are owned by someone. Its the owners call what he sales and based on the data he probably had he probably ordered stuff that he felt he could move for a profit. He he couldn't move for a profit you can't hold it against him for not stocking on his shelves.
My point if you have such an issue with it you needed to take it up with the manager or store owner. Let him know what you are interested in seeing in his store and that if he stocked 'said' items you would frequent his establishment and make purchases. Take your anger and frustration to him and get personal with him. lol. |

Re: The ULTIMATE disrespect!!!
Which you might have noticed that I posted that I did talk to him, and he didn't really understand what I was talking about. He didn't even know we were 10 and 0 right now, so there's the point. I did tell him if he stocked Saints stuff, me and my friends would come in there, but he wasn't interested. Which is even more of an insult, because even with the prospect of making some sales, he declined.
Being able to cater to every customer that walks in, instead of just a few, makes your business a success. Especially considering Bush had the number one jersey a few years ago. He didn't even know who he was! Taking something personal for me, usually results in me knocking someone out. I talked, he didn't listen, thus, the dis, which is the reason for this post. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this, so I asked. Sorry to inconvienence anyone.... sheesh! BTW, how is this post getting personal anyway? It's not like I'm talking about Melrose Place here. |

You make the easy enough sales for the max profit. If you have sold a Saints Jersey in 10 years why on earth would you expect anyone to buy one now??? He doesn't sale it he loses profit. Welcome to a free market society. I am sure there are a lot of facts that went into his decision that maybe we don't know... hey and maybe he's just a idiot, but based on where this location is you can't seriously fault him.![]()
If that was the case I guess the store at the mall here who only sales Raider items should be out of business by now??? He is only catering to one type of people and they suck this year but he seems to still be open. The internet makes everyone a tough guy there big fella. If you were knocking people out like that then you are probably breaking the jails rules by getting online and putting messages on forums. |

Re: The ULTIMATE disrespect!!!
Count yourself lucky. I live in England and when I mention NFL in sports shop...
Me: Hello, do you have any NFL gear? Assistant: Pardon. Me: American Fooball gear. Assistant : Erm...Kevin, do we have any American stuff? Me: Football stuff. Has to be football. Kevin: Hello can I help. A: Yeah, he wants football gear. K: It's over there (points to premiership soccer shirts) M: No, that's not what I want. I would like NFL stuff, American Football. K: Oh that's downstairs. Follow me. DOWNSTAIRS K: There it is (looking at NBA shirts) M: No, this is Basketball. K: Oh. What is it you were after? M: NFL. American Football. Gridiron. K: Oh, we don't do that. I walked away so frustrated and left Kevin laying there clutching his nuts. (Actually , I made that last bit up. His name was Steve) |
