Then you said yourself they had Saints stuff.

So they HAD something Saints, even though they don't get enough requests for it.

What do you expect? The Saints to be 10-0 and all of the sudden every mom and pop store in the country to carry a full assortment of Saints regalia and paraphernalia?

So now a store, IN A MALL, is a "mom and pop" store? This place was not out in Picayune somewhere, on main street, next to Papa Jimmy's Auto Parts, it was right next to Macy's, and Radio Shack.

The "disrespect" I was referring too, was the fact that when I asked him about it, he was clueless. I honestly don't think he even knew who the Saints were. The entire point, is exactly what I said to begin with, IF you are going to call yourself an NFL Shop, then in my eyes, you should carry the entire league. If you plan to only carry the Cowboys, the Niners, and the Patriots, you should call your store, "The Cowboys, Niners, and Patriots Specialty Shop." Unless you don't mind completely rooking potential customers, into believing that you have everything NFL.

Football, is essentially entertainment. In all other forms of entertainment, MOST businesses, sell what's hot now, plus what was hot twenty years ago. Thus, in any music store, you will find Lil Wayne, and Elvis, in the same store. That's why they read magazines, like Billboard, to find out what's hot now, so they can keep up with the times. Imagine going into a Virgin store, in Boise Idaho, and the clerk saying, "sorry son, we only sell local artists here. You gotta go get your "Ciara" cds somewhere else." It's not a tantrum, to expect one of only two sports stores, in a city of 2 million people to cater to the customers, not just themselves.

But whatever Reap, I'm going to just sit here, and hold my breath til you agree with me....
