Vape stores and the over 30 crowd

[The Ministry]

Walked into a VIP store with the mother in law the other day for a new battery (Ego). He mocked her, I drew my SVD with a kayfun out the pocket and vaped, passed it to her, she vaped, he literally gulped.

She walked out laughing.

He was disrespectful, and I feared for his life (I do not mess with her, she's volatile.) I kinda did him a favor ha-ha

Made my day.

*Edit!

She now has a clone on top of my old Vamo V5 as of tomorrow, she doesn't know yet..... )

Some of the employees don't know how to act when they figure out you might know more than they do. LOL

Most smaller shops I've come across know a hell of a lot more than me, so far. The "brand" stores like VIP not so much. This is just my experience in the area I live.

I tend to buy online, but the MIL is impatient...

There is exactly one vape shop within fifty miles of my house. It's not exclusively a vape shop. It's also a marina, skateboard shop and sportswear. It's a neat combination for sure. It's run by a guy who I'd say is around my age (40) although, I think he may be a tad younger...maybe 35 ish. Very smart guy. Great with everyone who walks in. If you end up waiting too long because of another customer, he'll chuck you a free bottle of juice or give you a discount on a clearomizer. Anything to keep the customer happy. I'm glad to have him around, but here in northern Indiana in between Fort Wayne and South Bend, there are not a lot of shops open. I expect that to change as the popularity of the other bigger city shops increases. I sooo can't wait for that day. Then I won't have to drive 45 minutes to get some decent juice.

I tend to find that most people respond in kind to how they are being treated, most of the time. People's outward appearances are an expression, or statement if you prefer, and I do not believe they give any indication as to why kind of person they are. I have many B&M shops around me, and only one treated me in a way that guarantees I will never go back: the "let me hurry up and get your money and do the same to the next person" method. In my favorite shops, I am just as likely to have a question answered by another customer as I am the staff. Because of that, I have met many wonderful people that are on the same journey.
I love to sample local juices, wherever I travel. I do the same with microbreweries, too.

What effing difference does having tattoos make anyway? We are the same as everyone else you know, we don't judge the people that don't have tattoos, thinking that they need them...
Sorry, off-topic, but...

It doesn't have any difference in who we are, but how we are treated. Wrong thinking ... yes. Not fair... yes. But a fact of life.
