I fucking hate when they ask me for the gay ass rewards card. Been going to the new local gnc for like 8 months now and each time the same fat bitch register lady asks if i want one and when i say no for the 800th time she still presses with "why?" And dumb shit like that
Based and redpilled. I mean seriously, for anything that's not perishable or extremely bulky but cheap you should price it out online. It's faster and cheaper.
Also from a life perspective, not going to a store every day or three saves you time as well. Idiots who say they don't have time to go to the gym are often going to stores and wasting time there.
Anthony Scott
Imagine getting out alpha'd by a guy working retail.

This is pretty much every business ever. They get right up in your face and try to sell you shit you don't need. Normies don't understand shit about fitness so BCAA and ABA and COCK all mean nothing to them and most of them are retards who assume the salesperson is the expert since I've never seen them hire anybody who doesn't look like they're tooling. They get retards to buy grape flavored surgar powder with caffeine and that shit that makes your asshole itch right when you're on your last rep for 200 dollars a tablespoon because there's been a trillion other idiots who walk through those doors and buy 300 dollars worth of shit for new years or some crap. You'll see this in any industry, cars, medicine, computers, ect. Ever walked into best buy to buy an internet cable and they try to get you to buy some hyperwave super speed ultra giga e-cable deluxe(tm)? Its because your average retard thinks the salesman is an expert when they're really just taking advantage of them being an idiot.
A fool and his money are soon parted. Always do a decent amount of research before buying something new.

>Going to physical stores to buy an item you consume regularly in a predictable manner that's not perishable
How tarded are you guys? You pay more, waste time and then complain about the experience
Andrew Garcia
they have to do it. i used to work at a gamestop and it was like that. you gotta meet a quota on new members and if you don't, you get chewed out. can't even take the "no" right off the bat either, you have to make a turn around. feels shitty for both sides of the situation desu
Isaac Lee
The stuff i buy usually cost around 150 for 4 but the discount my fren gives me drops it down to only about 50 :)
Christopher Wood
I do order stuff online you mong. Doesn't mean I don't ever go to physical stores to buy shit sometimes.
Hunter Walker
Great it's $40 everywhere else
Andrew Diaz
Is this how you cope with not leaving your room?
Levi Wright
>going to the store Why?
Dominic Richardson
Because fuck Jeff Bezos
Christian Peterson
You tard i buy 4 jugs of protein that cost 150 dollars but i get it for 50
Samuel Ward
Yeah, I hate GNC. They always recommend dogshit and have a script to explain why it’s so wonderful.
Sebastian Jenkins
isotech42 alone is better than anything in GNC.
Blake Ramirez
So? It’s still irritating af. Also they’re the ones who chose this job, nobody forced them so fuck them - both workers and the management. I don’t appreciate wasting my time by anyone for any reason
Elijah Adams
>Haha yeah I'm going to get in my car and drive somewhere at 52.5 cents a mile and deal with retarded sales people and choose from a smaller selection and pay more to fuck over Jeff bezos!
Same, i worked retail, had to sell chocolate bars at the counter. Now if the cute girl next to me suggests buying a chocolate bar, most people just say fuck it. If the lumbering hulk asks to buy a chocolate bar its a curt no.
That shitty job opened my eyes 100% to the gender dynamic. By the end of the day i hated the world. She, having been asked at 15 times, was happy and full of life.
Then management goes, "you need to have a positive attitude like Stacey here". I lasted two days, never again. But it made me realise how important looks are, and how gynocentric society is.
Benjamin Reed
Just get gyno then bro
Elijah Baker
You sound like an autistic loser OP. He's just trying to help a bro out and you get butthurt and go on a Chinese cartoon forum and sperg out about it.
Mason Sanders
1 gram of protein from protein powder is cheaper than 1g of protein from chicken. Chicken requires cooking, which costs time and money as well. it's easier to consume and store and transport protein in powder form too.
>paying $40 for a pound of isolate What the fuck? It better give blowjobs too
Caleb Long
Imagine being this poor and full of cope.
Owen Long
what an anti social prick you are. just say: "hey bro you look good, so what protein do you personally use? I'll consider." be friendly won't hurt you at all, and just choose whatever you think is at best value. believe me, it's just his job.
Tough way to get your eyes opened on the female question user, I don't think its ever easy. They live life on noclip mode and don't even realize it
Leo Wright
If that happened to me I'd scream "I can't handle it" and run out
Leo Jones
Welcome to the world of commision OP, the more retards they sucker to buying a specific item the more they get paid. Thats why they're so annoying about certain stuff. I'm sure they don't even give a shit about it but they have to make their living too.
Adrian Foster
I go to stores, even buy electronics in store nowadays since almost everyone price matches. I'd 100% rather buy something at a physical store and get a receipt over online

Hunter Barnes
Just get Rich Pianas preworkout if its still being sold. Best and most complete one out there.
Leo Fisher
Go to vitamin shoppe instead they aren't commission and have tons of interesting shit
Owen Lee
Id rather talk to people than be a hermit.

I used to work at Michaels and I only helped people if they looked like they were having a difficult time finding something or if they asked. Other than that, I minded my own business as a replenisher (a stocker). I was told all the time to tell people that there's an app, but I wouldn't do it. You know why? Because I didn't want to be an annoying shill.

There's a reason they're closing over 900 of their retail sites in USA this year.
Juan Foster
Fuck gnc. I really thought the membership would be worth it. Bitch at my local store tried to tell me my membership wasnt there on thr computer so i couldnt use my points. Didnt even argue, just decided never again am I going into gnc. Wack ass store, theyre the gamestop of fitness pulling some bs at all times
Whey has much more bioavailability than chicken. They're not even comparable
Hunter Johnson
this and Bumple bees
Jack Davis
Checked. Did you have to deal with your manager checking the fucking tapes after hours to "see how your technique was getting along"?
Ethan Scott
Michaels is so comfy.
Luis Hall
yeah but when i was there, i could tell that they were handpicking the most expensive brands. for example (and this actually happened), there was this little Halloween decoration that had these shitty LED lights in it, and it was $100 ($99.99). When I asked about it, I was told that they (the store) bought it from the vendor for like $7 or something.
Caleb Lewis
anyone have the screencap of the user who robbed a GNC?
Lincoln Miller
The titties were alright. Just alright. Didnt see her ass at all as she immediately zoned in on me and tried to sell me as much shit as possible >oh you need new preworkout too? You should try this 70 dollar tub of store brand- >nah I think i want the kill it, didnt know you guys carried it >ok its your gym experience. You have a membership with us? > yeah my number is (insert number here) >hmmm its not coming up >you sure? (I had literally got an email and actual mail that week) >yeah sorry >. . . Go home and get another email that day. I get the store is struggling but you dont survive by fucking over customers
Luke Bailey
so wtf happened if you KNOW your number was in the system? Were her fingers so chubby n stubby that she was pressing the wrong keys on the numpad?
Henry Gray
Yeah it is expensive as shit though.
I buy all my drawing pencils online now.
Liam Kelly
OP is literally complaining about friendly costumer service. What a nigger.
Eli Thomas
I honestly believe she straight up lied to me so her sales were better. I know they do shit like that at sears and gamestop. Like at gamestop they are told by management to add the pro membership to your bill and only take it off if you notice it
Benjamin Cruz
>Hey, gonna need your phone number to finish the transaction.
Why do so many places do this nowadays? They always look miffed when I tell them it's 555-1234.
.....is it? I've gotta do that the next time I'm asked for my number when trying to buy something.
Juan Gray
Women dont realise they are on recruit difficulty until 40 and they hit the wall. Im working in security now, i like it. I still get judged and treated badly but now i can retaliate. Feels good.
Aaron Gray
And nobody's forcing you to go into their store to buy protein, retard. Order shit online if you're too autistic to handle something as basic as a wagecuck sales clerk trying to suggest products to you, you fucking sperg.
Christian Martin
We got a place called popeyes and they apparently dont get commission and to even get a job you have to pass a few knowledge tests. Its great to go in there and ask questions, have a few samples. Never pressured into buying shit and most of them just want to help others get fit.
Hudson Robinson
Jesus christ what an autist, imagine getting so upset about a retail worker doing their job that you had to recount the event in detail on fucking Jow Forums
Nathan Diaz
> ordering from a mystery store hiding nbehing Amazon No thank you, I'd rather buy from a store that has their own name and website.
Matthew Mitchell
A lot of people here never had a job and don't know how annoying management is on workers to sell garbage to people or they risk losing their job, that's why you just have to know exactly what you want before you step into the shop so you don't deal with the hour long sales pitch.
Robert Perez
This is the reason why i buy my protein online
Aiden Young
How do they buy shit or live without a job?
Also, knew a guy in college who said they made commission and loved to spot bro science at retards to sell them the special high commission product of the week, so I think the blame manager shit is a partial cop out. Dude was on roids so it was a lie to say you'd look like him with creatine, NOxlpode and hard work.
Carter Roberts
No one is forcing you shop there. It's their job. They are literally paid to that. If you don't want to talk or deal with people just order online?
Brody Richardson
> A lot of people here never had a job selling shit to retards True
Hudson Carter
>How do they buy shit or live without a job? How can you be on Jow Forums for this long and not know about neets? Some people live off of disability/unemployment checks or they just mooch off of their parents.
Lincoln Barnes

Parents or autism disability check

I sort of thought that was a myth, maybe 1% of posters max, not "most" also always assumed it was a product of the huge welfare states in yurp
Parker Ramirez
I'll actually walk out of a store if they get too pushy asking for my phone number. I'm giving you money in exchange for goods. You don't need to be able to call or text me after.
Zachary Clark
The US still have autismbux but they don't give enough to live on your own really, the professional NEETs double dip with their parents paying for everything and get autismbux on top of it.
Lincoln Thomas
if something is of higher quality and cheaper then what's the argument against it?
whey is convenient, deal with it nerd
Nolan Lee
There was a really big thing a while back for "gaming" the autismbux (disability/welfare) system, and by "gaming" I mean these people probably still do need the government money to survive because they really are that autistic even if they don't think they are.
Charles Davis
There's a difference between being friendly and being overbearing. If you don't know that, then you are probably overbearing. Congrats.
Leo Thomas
Gnc fag here, but yeah some guys are dumb af when trying to make sales. They push a ton of shit on people that don't need it cus they need fat #s but then end up getting all the returns. For the script shit, yeah its def true. We have to run down the entire product to be able to answer any questions, also because we need to know how someone should stack it or if they even need to. And we usually have to explain it a couple dozen times a day. Also most spots will have 0 issues price matching shit so make sure you're using that to your advantage or whatever. Also pic mostly related.

This post is so retarded. Find your local independent sup store and shop there. JFC user am how retarded are you?

Go in with headphones next time and don't take them off. You don't even need to have anything playing, but just having them in prevents 50% of interactions.
