Yesterday got a small window when my Mom was watching the kids, and thought to myself "I have'nt been to _______,
I should stop in and see if anything has changed. Now this B&M is the only one for about 25 miles, and they are not the friendliest, so I don't stop by often. Walk in and the employee, a male in about his 60's puffing on a cigar. Does'nt say anything to me for acouple minutes, then says "NEED SOMETHING"? "YES" I say 4 oz of the LT. Blend. As he is measuring out, I'm looking at their pipes for sale. Pretty much ALL way over priced ROMA's. But their was a meerschaum pipe that was in the glass case caught my eye. I asked him what brand it was? He says "I don't know". Never asked to get it out, or even try and be somewhat helpful. So more testing to myself how bad this place has gotten, I decided to just stare at it for 3 more minutes (I did keep time). Again never even said a word. I say "Well I guess that will be it for me then", he rings out the 4oz. $22.00! Wow tobacco sure went up here I say in a low tone, and leave. Never a goodbye, have a nice day, anything... Any of you guys that have a great B&M close by, count your blessings...
