Whilst in Katoomba on the weekend, Ewe took me to a record store that he had said was really awesome.

The range was decent and there were a few albums there that I was interested in as well as a few books (some being art) that caught my eye.

They also had a few amplifiers and turntables but I did not check them out.

Unfortunately Ewe and I had to hold back on purchasing due to being tight on money.

As we were leaving Ewe said bye to one of the people who worked there and we received a disdainful sounding bye in response.

This isn’t the first time I’ve walked into a shop and not purchased something and had a response like that when I’ve left.

It’s the response someone will give when you don’t buy something.

It’s a fairly disrespectful act that can cost a store a potential regular.

I do understand that for a shop, someone not buying something isn’t exactly desired, but there is no reason to verbally express that negatively.

Before this happened I was annoyed I didn’t have money to purchase anything.
Afterwards I didn’t feel as though I’d go back in again.

Part of the reason as to why I go to my regular record store is that they treat customers well; even those that don’t buy something.

Oh well.

That wasn’t much of a rant. I’ll try harder next time.
