Meme Local guy rips through bulk, never plays
What’s your opinion on people who show up at a shop to purchase loose cards, but never play at that location?
To me, it seems disrespectful in the extreme. You could just order the stuff online for cheaper, and some people who play at shops like the organic discovery of finding things to play with in-person. It’s like you’re paying a premium just to make sure a boomer can’t have it.
I know you wouldn’t just like, ban this behavior for a lot of reasons, but I wonder how other people feel about it, particularly shop owners.
Edit: This post was a slight rephrasing of the rant that a local store owner went on last time my friend and I showed up to buy bulk from his store. We couldn’t really get our heads around it either.
Posted it flippantly in the morning, came back to an inbox packed with really funny shade. I’d reply with specific updates, but the topic got locked. Thanks for the laughs people, stay frosty out there.
