[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 5250120, member: 25619"] I'd like more than a few items from each system you support. Be pretty much a completist on current and last year or so from each system you support, and there's more reason for me to come in and check things out -- I'm looking to browse and buy, not playing, in a store. Also, it's good to have magazines on hand. If I'm browsing and can't find a book I like, I'd usually be happy to pick up a copy of Kobold Quarterly, if there's one available (almost always not in the FLGSes near where I live). I like to buy something when I come in, to keep the place in business. Also, make sure someone is always attending the food area/cash register, instead of wandering around gaming. It's always a little annoying when you have to hang around the cash register until the store employee finally looks up from his game and comes over to sell you stuff. On the other hand, I've never actually just put my stuff back and left, so eventually, it does get sold. It's just that I'd rather get the selling over with -- usually with some discussion of what I'm buying and comment on related products, if possible -- rather than feeling like I'm a jerk for "interrupting the game". Finally, weird experience today in a very crowded (with people playing, not buying) game store. When I went to buy my item (and the employee came over quickly, only like 1 minute of waiting), he was seemingly very suspicious of my signature on the credit card receipt, holding onto the credit card instead of giving it back once he ran it, and actually checking the signature, then looking at me (there's no photo on it) and finally giving it back. I don't mind if a store asks for photo ID when you purchase with a credit card (as long as they do it to everyone), but this was odd behavior, and I think I'll avoid this store (two surviving FLGS in my area) for a while because, while it does have a broad selection, it's further away from my house and the employees usually give me a weird "we don't like your kind around here" vibe. Bottom line there: Treat people who come into your story as valued customers and fellow hobbyists, rather than intruders who are bothering you and interrupting your game. [/QUOTE]
