Seriously great people buy all my guns there you might letem know you wanted to buy a gun.As the title says, I went in Gulf Coast Guns (Wednesday the 22nd AM) with cash in my pocket to buy a rifle that I had looked at the day before and I was totally ignored. They weren't busy either, mostly just bsing among themselves. Wasn't even greeted at the door. I walked all through the store, even took the rifle off of the rack, worked the bolt, removed the magazine, and still no sales person .First time for everything I guess. I walked in with full intentions of buying it, but I walked out with not a single person saying anything to me, and left. And no, I don't expect to be fawned over, but when almost no one is in the store it would be nioe to be approached to see what I needed. So, if you're looking for a Ruger American in .556/223 it's still hanging on the wall, lol.

Did you notify the manager or owner? I'm sure they would like to know.As the title says, I went in Gulf Coast Guns (Wednesday the 22nd AM) with cash in my pocket to buy a rifle that I had looked at the day before and I was totally ignored.

Preach it brother! Very well said.So I work in specialized retail and it seems you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Sometimes you try to help people and thet just want to be left alone. Sometimes you leave them alone and they want to be helped. I understand the desire to be greeted when you walk into a place, but to leave without buying what you wanted and to not ask for help is utterly ludicrous. Look, we all have off days, and maybe this was yours and theirs at the same time. If you had stated that you asked for help and no one was interested, I would totally get that. If they were just rude in how they responded to you, I would totally back you up. You say you weren't greeted? Geez I got no help for you man. I've been in most gun stores around here and I would kill for a gun store of that size and selection in Fort Walton Beach. I've been in Jimm's and Jay's and been ignored twice, but I'll still go back because they both have a decent selection and I'm not overly sensitive. We got way bigger issues in the gun industry today than "no one said hi to me". I'm sorry if I sound too aggressive, and I truly don't know anything about you, but Mom-and-pop retail places get nailed on Google reviews for crap like this all the time, and it's got to stop. We need to grow a thicker skin or don't leave the house.

Your thoughts are so far out in left field and outrageous that I'm glad the're over. LMAO What a piece of crap you posted. Feel better about yourself now?Just some random thoughts after reading this. Makes me wonder if the poster also doesn't pump gas unless greeted first or even groceries for that matter. I get greeted all the time at the checkout line maybe the poster should try that? God forbid he ever go deaf in life, might not be able to ever buy anything ever again without that ever important verbal exchange that reinforces that is safe and ok to do business here. Ok my thoughts are over now.
I did go in there once to buy a AR lower once but the prices were very high. After being greeted by several employees and chatting a bit I left empty handed.
With respect, if you have ever been in that store you would know that the guns are secured to the wall by a retractable steel cable. So, it is impossible to "simply walk with it over to the cash register." Can't be done.If you knew the exact gun you wanted, which apparently you did, why didn't you simply walk with it over to the cash register and in a loud voice say could someone check me out. Not sure why you thought you needed a salesman to talk to you? I actually prefer NOT to talk to a salesman, when I do most of the time I know more about the gun (or whatever it is I'm buying) than they do anyway . Pretty much the only time I talk to a salesman is if there isn't a price tag on something and I have to ask the price.
Didn't realize that. In that case I would have walked up to the register and in a loud voice said "can somebody check me out". And then when somebody came to the register I would say "I want to buy that gun over there" and point at it. Now if after saying can somebody check me out and STILL nobody acknowledged me I would walk out then for sure .With respect, if you have ever been in that store you would know that the guns are secured to the wall by a retractable steel cable.

Didn't see any thongs there, but did pick up a nice BRA.....skooz me...BAR! I'm dyslexic.So, can you buy a thong there? Asking for a friend.
The last post before this one was almost two weeks ago. I guess everyone has to express their opinion, because opinions are like, well, you know........I wish people would quit crying on the internet. If you were actually serious about buying the gun on the spot any normal person would walk up to the counter and say I want to buy this gun. Takes all of 5 seconds.
Wonder how many on here can say that they bought guns from the old Gulf Breeze Pistol Parlor. I bought from them several times. It was a good shop. Same with Ubers and Tradewinds, good shops, good people. They all get my business.Ubers is great. She usually has something interesting in the cases. I like to stop by Trade Winds in Gulf Breeze, Miles has an eclectic selection to say the least. Really unusual stuff but he can be...well..odd to deal with.
For the really esoteric, set up an appointment and go to Gulf Breeze Guns (Old Pistol Parlor guys) spent a whole afternoon looking through Duke's stuff. Very cool shop.
