While reading BF I really like when LBS employees / owners chime in. I think its great to get their perspective, and being new to the sport with lots of fresh enthusiasm... I just plain think real life LBS stories are great. So I'm hopping this can turn into a place to post your favorite stories from working at an LBS.

They can be about good customers, bad customers, sponsored teams. great owners, bad owners, that sweet deal you scored because you work at an LBS.... anything at all you feel like sharing.

If you don't like someone's story or disagree with their perspective in this thread... please just let it go. Let's just make this a cool place to browse and share stories.

Thanks.
