Has anyone notice that many high end stores seem to have these same 3 or 4 types of salesmen?
--a slight, scrawny guy with a beard & glasses, non-descript personality, able to carry around gigantic full-range speakers by himself with no problem.
--a big, portly guy, sometimes with or w/o beard or glasses, sometimes the friendliest salesman in the store.
--a Tall, pompous, snooty guy whos purpose is to insult the customer's current equipment.
--occasionally, a leftover hippie from the 60's who you can just tell ate way too many mushrooms at one point.
A friend & I once theorized that when audio stores advertise for a new salesman, they advertize for whatever type they don't have (wanted, "tall, snooty audio salesman", or "slight, scrawny audio salesman with a beard & glasses"). They need a balance of the 4 types in each store; 2 big, portly types, or 2 tall snooty types in one store wouldn't work out at all.
It's just a theory tho......
