Pros:
– The employees are mostly helpful and knowledgeable.
– They have a nice selection of pretty much everything.
– Retting is the only real gun shop for miles around.
Cons:
– Retting is the only real gun shop for miles around.
– No ‘take a number’ machine. Which means (pretty much ANY time you go) you have to figure out who’s in front of you / there before you were, who’s already being helped and what employee to talk to, since all the employees are busy.
Review:
I’ve been here many times, and 99% of the time, Martin B. Retting’s is BUSY. Seriously Retting – GET A ‘TAKE A NUMBER SYSTEM‘! They are not expensive and it’s simple CUSTOMER SERVICE.
And the argument of "it works well for us" isn’t an argument. If you’re concerned about the ‘quick’ purchases, put up a sign for one register that says "non-gun / quick purchases here" for people who just want to buy a box of ammo or a pair of grips. Or, spend the extra $250 to get a 2nd ‘take a number system’.
And one more tip… there’s a much higher chance that customers will browse the store and find other things to BUY if they don’t have to eagle-eye who goes next and try to figure out what employee is available.
I’ll be back there, but only because there’s not many other options.
