Does it just not drive you bananas.....

When you go in to a store, you KNOW what you want, you tell the counter
people and they sit and argue about something?

I went into Kit’s last night to price check on that F1.8 lens… I know what
I want, I told them 50mm f1.8 for the canon 20d. Right? Noooo the guy
%%^#$ argues with me. I explain I’ve researched this well on several
canon boards and email lists. This is THE lens suggested for low light.
Then he was like “Well use a flash”. Um NO that won’t work EITHER ya
dingbat! I’d be kicked out so fast… I explained why this f1.8 50 mm is the choice to use plus other uses I have for it and he still was trying to prove his point.
Why is it is so hard to accept what a consumer wants?? I knew what I
wanted, I told him and he argued with me. Now I am not so sure I will buy it from Kits.

Yes! Just happened to me last week. Brought my DD's tennis racket in to Dick's to be restrung. Her coach told her it needed it.

The guy at Dick's tells me it doesn't need it. Well, excuse me - if I'm the customer, and I WANT it done, shouldn't he just do it? Customer is always right and all that jazz?

Incidentally, he DID restring it, and her game DID improve.
