I see a lot of negative flap regarding B&Ms on the forum and I thought I would pass on this experience to our members. Sorry if the post gets a little long, but I thought it was worth passing on.
Yesterday I went to my local B&M to resupply my stock of juice. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared, I started perusing the counter showcases. I need to add a little background here. I have been vaping for over two years now and the ONLY batteries that I have ever used have been eGo style batteries. I have one original eGo 600mah single voltage - one eGo upgrade variable voltage (the type that you press the button 5 times to change between two voltages) and one 1100mah eGo-v V2 mega. I know, I'm a bit of a non-techie here but these eGo batteries have been working for me and I've had great success with them.
Well anyway, while perusing the goodies in the showcases, I spotted a 1300mah eGo-v V3 on the shelf and thought to myself "why not add another battery to my collection". When the clerk came back with my juice, I questioned him about the battery and he said it was $29.95. I told him I would take it and we proceeded to the register.
Here's when the pleasant (and surprising) experience kicked in. As the clerk was tallying up the sale at the register, another clerk behind the counter stepped over and said "I wouldn't sell that to him", meaning the battery. I immediately questioned her why not and she said that she has had a lot of complaints about that particular battery and she thought that they might have gotten a bad batch.
Of course, I took her advice and declined the battery. Before leaving the store I thanked her several times for her honesty and told her that I would be checking in to see when they got a new batch of the batteries in.
I found this to be a totally refreshing experience compared to the "fill the till and the hell with the customer" attitude that we normally see in retail stores. I don't know if putting plugs in for B&Ms are allowed on the forum, but if they are, I will edit this post with the name of the store.
Sorry for the long-winded post - keep on vaping!!!
