I had to call in and wait 2 days after my AR lower came cause the middle aged fudd who ran the LGS didnt look hard enough for a stripped lower, I had to show the UPS delivery email to him in person to make him find it
Am I the only one with terrible gun stores around him? Is this uniquely a me thing?
>go to LGS
>2 guys behind counter
>Notice weird high pitch chattering sound but try to ignore it
>Heavy boomer and a middle aged guy
>1 guy affixed to display case (also boomer) jabbering to heavy boomer
"Hey I'm here to do a form 4 for a suppressor, my name is..."
>Heavy boomer interrupts
"Use the kiosk"
>There's a sad SilencerCo kiosk in the corner
>Try to sign in but each keystroke requires a few seconds of processing time
>Whole time heavy boomer is jabbering to the display case boomer about his time as a police sergeant
>Mostly terrible stories about pulling people over and issuing citations
>Kiosk suddenly freezes
"Hey the kiosk isn-"
>Middle aged guy comes over
"Sorry its an old machine, just keep trying. This happened yesterday"
>Try again for 10 minutes
>Middle aged guy sighs
"Here, try it on my laptop instead"
>Display case boomer flees as I approach and leaves
>Approach laptop and notice the chattering from earlier is louder
>Notice that it's not chattering
>It's a voice
>Its a TikTok brainrot voice
>Look over my shoulder
>Boomer has a TikTok storytime compilation running on his phone
>Its been running THIS ENTIRE TIME
>It's all slop stories written by obvious AI about petty revenge
>He must sit here all day listening to these
>Nobody else seemed to notice
>Am I the only one who hears it!?
>Did I die in the parking lot and end up in purgatory?
>Finish on the laptop when middle aged guy comes back
"Kiosk is working now. Wanna just fill it in there?"
>Go back to kiosk and fill out everything a second time
>Hit submit
>It freezes again
>Middle aged guy looks at me
"Just try again"
>Try again
"Give it 5 minutes"
>Wait 5 minutes
>He chimes in
"Oh you filled out everything on the laptop, you're good! We'll call you when the ATF approves it!"
>Exit the store and hear the TikTok slop fade
Every LGS in my area is some flavor of fudd-infested brainrot or hyper l33t pr0 tactical shooterman shootbang store that primarily sells Sig products with a large selection of Crye and 5.11 clothes.
This is why everyone wants home deliveries on firearms and NFA stuff, man. This sucks.
