ALL stores provide a service, their goods are not unique!

When you remove the service from 'public service' what's left?

They are in business to serve, I am not obligated to serve them.

A good inventory of used as well as new on display plus a well stocked ammo & accessories section is SERVICE. Any dealer that has the same gun as you are ordering needs to look at his ability to haggle.

I shop the big-box stores for "now" convenience, the internet for used & rare collectables, & the local gun store for service.

There's that elusive commodity again, SERVICE! Where do you find it?
