A visit to Stephen's Performance
They might have not liked your attitude. Maybe should tried a jovial greeting instead of standing there with a long face like you entitled to a rare part that you obviously can't buy anywhere else.
Make them love you and want to help you, because there's no shortage of entitled blokes walking through their door and there's more where that came from.
They have the advantage here because they got the good stuff everyone wants, they ain't just some big box store kissing your *** to buy some Chinese junk.
Your presentation probably dictated how this went down and if you really made that comment about not wanting a loan, then it makes complete sense why this went down like this.
By the way, I love your YouTube channel.
Even though you were somehow able to be a fly on the wall and know exactly how the visit went down, I'll take the time to transcribe how the interaction went down on my end:
Younger Guy: "How's it going?"
Me: "Hey guys, how are ya'll?"
Younger Guy: "Good, what can I help you with?"
Me: "Well, I'm needing to buy a sedan windshield for a '67-76 A-body"
Younger Guy (asks Older Guy whether he wanted to do this, questions himself about which windshield would be the correct one, then looks at the Older Guy again)
Older Guy (looking down at Important Paper) "not gonna have a used one"
Me: "Ok, who do you reckon would would be able to get a new one?" (GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP ME WITH THAT)
Older Guy (silence)
Younger Guy (discussion about so and so who does glass)
Me: "Ok, see you guys later"
If I was in there 3 minutes, it was barely 3 minutes. I never said anything about a loan there, you assumed it. Notice no quotations around that part? I deal with customers every day of the work week, very successfully. If I treated people poorly I wouldn't have a job. I know better than to have a nasty attitude. If you don't actually know what happened then I suggest to stop ad-libbing.
