Gun store workers are like bartenders. They think they have really important jobs when in reality car salesmen are a notch above them.

As a guy who ran a gas station/convenience store for a few years, this is undoubtedly true.
They are a nexus of fucked up happenings.

What is it with gunstore employees forgetting that at the end of the day they work a retail job?

Truth.
Know the differnce between a 50 year old gun shop employee and a 17 year old victoria's secret employee?
-the 17 year old victoria's secret employee is more likely to actually know what they are talking about when they sell you something.

As someone who both buys guns and worked at a Victoria secret (doing stock and floor set stuff) I can confirm this.
