Rude Feedstore Employee! Update!

OK, she works for free, but what's it costing him in cash-paying customers' business when the lady flies home on her broom at the end of the day??
He might be better off cultivating customers and paying an employee. Duh! Statistically when Americans have a good retain experience they tell 1 or 2 people about it. When they have a bad retail experience, they tell 10.
When they own chickens, and they have a bad experience, they tell BYC's 25,000 people...wonder what the owner would think about that???

OMG ROTFLMBOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I am laughing so hard my DH thinks I lost it LOLOL I wonder what he'd do if he started getting letters from the 25,000 BYC members HAHAHAHA
To answer someone's question, they have only been opened for 2 years. I have only known about them for a year, as no one told me they were there. Hmm makes you wonder why no one told me they were there.
My mom buys 1000 pounds a month, give or take, and I had talked her into taking her business there, too, to help support a local feedstore. I'm all for buying local, first, ya know? Not in this case! As of yesterday, my mother is taking her business elsewhere, too.
I talked with a feedstore that's a good 16 miles from my home, and when I told them how much feed I buy, they said they would be glad to deliver to my door FREE. So, I'm just switching feedstores. She said they would buy my eggs, too but right now they have enough eggs so don't need any. I'm working on a sign for down by my driveway advertising my Farm Fresh eggs
DH and I are working on a mock up for our farm sign now. We've decided to use a Barn for our Logo.
I'm so not letting this feedstore get me down or put a damper in my business.
I'll just bring the customers to me!

Where is this fed store, I live in ohio near Agland, and I don't want to do business with this store!
We are always trying to find a better price, and I don't want to go there by mistake!
Agland was getting pretty costly! So we have been on the lookout for better prices!
Thanks

I think it's roughly 1000 pounds. But that's not just chicken feed, as we buy for our calves, rabbits, and goats, too.

Looks like it's worked out for the best! Some stores still know how to keep customers. And I bet that other store doesn't stick around for long.

You tried. They didn't care. You found the best solution. What percentage of businesses fold within the first year or five years? The best business comes from word of mouth.
