Is there a policy of just shooting the tards that come in? You might want to look into it. It would make your job so much easier.

It’s not like he would have been open to my suggestions. Trust me, I try my best to give every person who’s willing to listen some good advice, but none of them take it. So I pretty much only bother to help someone who’s really sincere and actually wants to achieve their goals at this point.

Can you blame him though? Who doesn’t want the big arms AND the six pack?

LOL whatever happened to just throwing back black coffee before lifting? [/quote]
Black coffee doesn’t get full page ads in Muscle and Fiction with bodybuilders who totally got ripped and huge by only taking NoXplode brah!!! I mean, that stuff adds an inch to your bicep and cock just by purchasing it!!!
This is the attitude of the people I interact with on a daily basis…
now for a story
when I was 15 I’d gone to the states and decided to pick up some protein and creatine, so we stopped at a GNC in Michigan, and the woman running the store informs me that creatine was bad to use if you’re under 18 because it damages your liver and kidneys and she’d heard some kid had died from using it. even back then i knew better, but didn’t have time to argue so left with tub of protein and a multivitamin. I was surprised at the time that they’d allow someone like that to work there.

Gotta say you’re a bad salesman.
How about selling him some protein? You know, make some money for the store?
Oooooooooh stupid customers!! Always want something from you, soooooo annoying!!!
haha yeah probably shoulda told him to buy it, then again Nova Scotia was never known for their business sense and bam thank you good night.
Once had a nurse at a dermatologists office tell me creatine would fuck up my liver. Course they had me runnin mild antibiotics for 3 years consecutively for acne (I couldn’t even see well enoguh to tell anyways) and ended up with a severely inflamed liver an early onset arthritis conditions. I’m not blaming the derm, I liked her and learned a lot from her, but there was no combination benzol peroxide, tazorac, or salylic acid that would ever give me the results that have come with age.

Thank you Ahu,nice to see some people enjoy my work. I’ll try to keep future stories less wordy though. I figure I’ll detail a few of the shakes I’ve made for people as of late instead of a full blown story as my mind is semi blank right now.
#1) Two Scoops of Jack3d/Two Scoops of Xtend/ 30 grams of Dextrose = $10.57 #2) Oats and Whey (Optimum brand)/Banana/One scoop of Jack3d = $9.58 #3) Two Scoops of Jack3d/Three Scoops of Super Pump Max = $14.02 #4) Six scoops of NoXplode = $16.08
Numbers 3 and 4 we’re the same person on seperate occasions, the guy reeked of douche.

Fun story: I applied to a local GNC for work one summer and was told that I was unqualified because I didn’t have any retail experience.
I had on my application that I was going to college for Biological Science and that I was an active powerlifter (I was at the time).
Herp derp, no sales! I face-palmed hard. [/quote]
You are exactly the kind of guy that most GNCs don’t want working at their store.
You are way too knowledgeable about what actually works and what is the next marketing fad. For the most part, GNC (much like Muscle and Fitness) is all about pushing the brand new fad regardless of if the product will actually work. Ohhhh, a redesigned formula for NOexplode…we are going to sell the shit out of this.
So yes, I am not suprised at all that you weren’t hired.

People really pay this much for a single shake?[/quote]
Yes, they do. Obviously a normal serving of a preworkout or a simple post workout shake is much more inexpensive (all under $5 for the most part) but some people just need that extra bit to do their curls I suppose.

I don’t hate just because I’m from Ontario, I hate because I enjoy it. And you do me a favor and keep this topic on the first page. This is some funny shit.

Unfortunately there wasn’t a place on the application to put that I lacked a soul and would sell anything for money.
In retrospect I’m not surprised either, but I was pretty amazed back then.
