Default Re: B&M ettiquete question

Well no pics gents. She left just as I arrived tonight and as I was leaving I was banned from the store.

Evidently the two times that the owner then the manager stated they would prefer I buy and smoke their cigars really wasn't a preference. Each time I explained that I don't like to do that but to rest the cigars at home and that I would of course support the B&M with a $10-20 purchase average. That wasn't good enough either as I pointed out in the last 5 visits I bought three times for $104 total. But since the last two of those five visits were no purchase I am a bad guy.

I even explained that I have seen others enter smoke and leave with no purchases. Those according to the manager are regulars that they know. I guess a new guy isn't afforded the chance to become a regular.

Anyways if you are ever in Houston or from the area and want to know what B&M NOT to go visit just let me know.

Damn. Sounds like they don't want your business. My local really puts on the hard sell for higher end smokes. I have pretty much given up on them and go to a B&M an hour away.

Are you sure you didn't let rip a massive chili cheese dog with sauerkraut fart in the walk-in?
