B&M in the UK is a discount food and anything else you can think of chain. I can entirely see this being plausible if they sold magazines...
I like asking someone in target where something is. The kid never knows.. then I show them where it is. I used to work at target. ?
Haha it means Brick and Mortar tobacco shop
IGNORE THIS QUOTE I SOMEYIEMS DO THIS AND ITS HARD TO DELETE
Why did you get fired this time?
That’s what makes it rather amusing to me! The thought of this particular chain doing pipe tobacco is very entertaining. Or indeed a B&M selling the kind of goods B&M does.....?
Nothing like relaxing by the fire with a nice bowl or Orlik Golden Sliced and a magazine full of other people's asses. I wonder if the centerfold is printed horizontally so they can put a cheek on each page.
I was a cart attendant, yo. At 17 I had better things to do and stopped going in haha
Hey that's important work man. Even with cart attendants it still amazes me how many ass clowns can't even be bothered to put their damn cart into the corral. There's an open spot...........oh nevermind, it's got a GODDAMN CART IN IT.
When I was a young man I was probably the bane of your existence. We used to put carts on the front of my dodge neon in the middle of the night, accelerate to a high rate of speed, and then brake quickly, sending the carts 35 MPH or so into the curbs. They go like 15 feet in the air, it's awesome. One of them escaping a my bumper and going full rogue into the side of a parked minivan ended that pastime rather quickly.
I was a smart kid.
What Tobacco Stores today need is a Chef Gordon Ramsey
I must be very lucky. My local tobacconist carries a variety of pipes, tobaccos, cigars, snuff, snus and a staff that are pipe/cigar smokers. Been very helpful. Yes they are a few £s more a tin but worth it for the quality of interaction.
Ha I’d have left them out there. I used to go smoke behind the building as I’d go pick up the carts. I think they began to wonder what I was doing back there so much ?
There tends to be a “shocking lack of knowledge” in a lot of fields. If you’ve recently purchased a major appliance, car, insurance, etc., then you’ve probably experienced this trend.
If you sell cigars and cigarettes and nothing else you won't know about pipe and pipe tobacco vendors.
No surprise. I cannot tell you how many times I've been in the humidor, in cigar shops, and listen to the Owner or person working there misinform someone inquiring about cigars. At least a 10 - 20 to 1 ratio of hearing someone who really knew their cigars. When I've called around to pipe shops looking for blends or during my travels, I've experienced the same thing when inquiring about quality blends. Fribourg and who? How do you spell that?
If you spend much time in a cigar shop, you'll notice the majority of people walking in the door are not serious smokers like members here. They buy a tin of OTC or a bag of house blend they've been buying forever. They grab a handful of $2 or $3 cigars that take care of their nic needs or their plans to make blunts. Or you see a poser grabbing some Opus X or some other high end cigar with a fancy band to impress their friends. And you'll get the poor schmuck that sits down and tells you about the wonderful "authentic Cuban cigars" he brought back from his last trip to the Bahamas or Cayman Islands.

I asked the guy in town if he could order SWR.. I knew I could get it online, but I wanted to do business with a local store. He sounded excited that I had asked, and asked me to come back next week. I came back, he said he couldn't pull it off. He had ordered some PA instead... Which I bought, even though at the time I didn't really want to.. now I'm glad I did.
You should have taken her home with you. I bet she would have been more fun than a barrel of monkeys..
I live in a college town and you just described 90% of the trips I take to my local tobacconist.
Next thing, as the guy walks out the door, the shop guy (Who has been in business for 30 years and is quite knowledgeable) turns to me and says "There goes another smartest fucker you'll ever meet! Don't believe it? Just ask the stupid SOB!" or "Damned millennials, can't tell 'em nothin!".
His shop is right downtown, near campus!
The biggest sellers on the market are the aromatics and OTCs.
