I browsed a few minutes, found something I wanted to buy, then walked up to the counter. They ignored me for three full minutes, working on whatever they were working on. They wouldn't even look at me, although they had to see me, I was two feet from them and obviously waiting for help. Not even a "I'll be with you in a few minutes", just talking between themselves about whatever they were working on. I walked out. I peeled out in the 100 and I think I saw a piece of gravel hit the big window at the front of the store.

They need to ask themselves, in this economy, in a part of the country that it taking it harder than many others (midwest in general), if they can afford to shun the few customers that exist who have money and are willing to spend it.
Bad economies tend to bring more "customers" to my employer, by contrast.
