So.... How much do you want for those 18 .22 cartridges?
Make it to the shop and let me know you are coming and I will give them to you.....

Answers my questions from the thread I started.. Point Blank would not be very far from my place but if their training (or lack thereof) is what it appears to be it's not someplace I want to spend any time in.. I would think employees would have been on a guy coming out of the range with a gun in his hand like a duck on a June bug but a lapse in judgement by 2 "well meaning" counter guys could very well have gotten someone injured or worse.. I'll shop for something to do part time that is less hazardous to your health like working at a nuclear power plant or a coal mine.
That's what $9hr gets them...
WTH is someone doing bringing a loaded/jammed rental gun from the range into the shop area for in the first place? Proper safe decorum would be to set the loaded/jammed firearm down, pointed down range and then go notify the appropriate personnel of the situation.
Excellent... I always do this anyway as this is the procedure at my home range (MGF&G).
Sorry wt but "isolated" in this instance could have gotten someone injured or worse. After reading what Mcgrease08 said it sounds like a training issue and as one other noted, that's what you get for $9 an hour. Mcdonalds in my neighborhood is starting people at $9 an hour so I really don't understand how they hope to get qualified people for that price.. Since handling cheeseburgers and ice cream cones is generally a little less dangerous than firearms it seems they are poisoning their own well from the onset.Having gone there pretty much every weekend since they opened, I can say that this was an isolated event and is hardly typical of the place. I'm in there a lot and have never seen any safety issues. I'm not saying they don't happen on occasion, but that it can happen anywhere. Point Blank let the two involved go, so they did what they felt they needed to for the safety of their patrons. Not sure what else anyone would want. I'll say that I'll continue going there and am perfectly comfortable doing so.
Just gonna throw this out there. I think cheeseburgers and ice cream kill more people than firearms do each year.Since handling cheeseburgers and ice cream cones is generally a little less dangerous than firearms it seems they are poisoning their own well from the onset.
\Better put bacon on that list too but no one is complaining about bacon.Just gonna throw this out there. I think cheeseburgers and ice cream kill more people than firearms do each year.

Mainjet you just made my point, thank you.. Point Blank had no interest in my application even though I have had training, I have experience and know the basic safety rules. I have to assume I was rejected because I wanted more than $9 an hour since I have all the certifications they will require. $20 and hour or $40 and hour doesn't assure you of how competent a person is but it will get you some one with certifications and experience. Anyone can make a mistake but for $9 they have less incentive to care because MickyDs is hiring for the same money..

That people do not give their full effort regardless of what they are being paid says more about the person than the wage.
...it also explains why such a person will spend their entire work life in jobs complaining that someone else should pay them more.
My son works at Wendy's right now making less than $9.00. He does fun stuff like cleaning the fryers and such. Obviously he wouldn't work there without being paid, but he came home one evening last week and proudly told me that his manager said that he's never seen the fryer baskets this clean since new.
I guess he should have dialed back the effort to match his compensation.
$9 an hour is not a guarantee of getting hopeless help, especially in this economy.
