300!!! (almost)

WOW!!! You People ROCK!!!!  296 hits on the Blog today!  RIGHTEOUS!  I'd like to send  a special shout out to our newest buddy (whomever you may be0 going by the pseudonym  "BentNotBroken" for putting up a blurb about us on Reedit (like that name!).  "Gritty Charm" Oh i do like that, ALOT!  It warms the cockles of my heart to know that folks "Get us"!  That the word is getting out about what and who we are.  Yes "gritty" fits the bill just as well as "Backyard Scab"!  And I'll tell you after that blurb went up the Hits just kept on coming!  I hope you all got a kick outta of our ramblings, and even better come into get your next ride from us, or re-pair your current one (insert shameless pimping plug here!) Today was a hoot even though I did enter BRIEFLY into my grumpy old geezer mode.  Look, I will fully support any ones right to destroy themselves with alcohol.  It's their body and as much as I would not choose that kind of life, it's their prerogative.
HOWEVER.
DON"T BRING IT IN HERE!
This is a FAMILY shop, with kids and parents out to enjoy the day and the LAST thing they want to SMELL is the wafting stench of stale beer! And on top of that, if you are a less then pleasant drunk, best to keep it at home.  And Driving...is RIGHT OUT!  I broke one of the cardinal rules of retail today.  The use of colorful "Daddy Language" to a unruly drunk who came in with his friend, who was AT NO FAULT mind you, actually very apologetic about his friend, but to come into our shop (thankfully no one else was here) and just start b&^%$#Ng about nothing...LOUDLY.  Un unh!
That dudes got ta GO!  AND...he did.
Some people!  and at 12.30 in the afternoon?
SHEESH!
ANYWAY, other then that unpleasantness, today was a KILLAH!  Sold over HALF the kids bikes we had in stock.  One of our regulars came in and filled up his truck, and got a SAWEET deal to boot!
Sold the GT Timberline to a dad son duo who appreciated the look of it so I gave them a great deal as well!
And two more kids bikes went out to a belabored father with his three little one who were NOT letting him leave without them!  (heheh kids are the BEST salesman!) And even though we were the busy little beavers we STILL managed to put out four more newbies, and get started on a couple more.  Although Jose' has been a second day no-show!  Things that make you go...hummmmm?
Well I DO need to get it in gear as I have Spaghetti and Meatballs awaiting!
Y'all have a GREAT night!!!
