One of those salesmen was an assistant store manager.  :whistle:

When I asked the one of the salesmen in the first store to check in the backroom for the software, he told me that he didn't know if there was back room, since it was only his third week on the job.

In the second store, I tried to show them what can be done with Poser.   They had a computer connected to the internet that one so the saleswoman used to try to lookup information about Poser.  I gave her the URL for Curious Labs, but she ignored my offer.  Then I asked her to try a URL that would show her some of my work.  She replied, "We don't allow those kinds of pictures on store computers!  Think of the childern, if they saw the pictures."

In the third store, a small non-chain store, it was the owner who reacted that way.

I have tried complaining before about bad service in those kinds of stores.  But at least in this area all that management seems to be interested in these days is getting bodies to wear the store's uniforms.  When I do find a salesperson who knows the store's merchandise and knows the field as well, I have noticed that they don't last long in the store.  When mentioned after their departure from the store, the remaining personnel including the managers speak badly of them.

I am wondering, perhaps, there was an article in a local paper or in a free computer rag that mentioned Poser in a negitive way.  Or perhaps one of those dim bulbs discovered one of the more extreme Poser websites and spread their discovery around.  That might explain all but the first store.. I think that in the first store it was that the salesman latched on to the words "human, figures, models, and pictures" and his imagination filled in the rest.
