Well, have her and your gf light up, and tell her the guys at CA don't believe you that you hang out with chicks who smoke cigars, and you want to take a pic as proof.

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

This is correct, but I would do hold this conversation when she (the worker) isn't working. By gently discussing this with the owner, while the employee is not there, allows the owner a chance to notice the experience of the strength - and doesn't give her the opportunity to associate the criticism with coming from you.

I wouldn't approach her directly, as it may create an uncomfortable feeling for her, and therefore affect your visits.

What a bunch of scheming pervs! J/K:r:np

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

I would think a perv would try to discreetly take a pic without anyone knowing. Someone who's got game, on the other hand, could turn it into a photo shoot. :D

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

I vote for the photo shoot... and don't forget the girlfriend.

Even if you don't have enough game to pull it off... I bet your gf does. :D

As for all the hormones flying around... boys will be boys. ;)

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

Go up to her and say

"you know the rules, tits or GTFO! but i'll make an exception if you just stop wearing your damn perfume!"

something i just realized... why hasn't the owner of a cigar shop noticed this already? why hasn't the owner of a cigar shop said anything to her yet? Is the owner really that careless about the stuff he is selling? He'd rather have an attractive girl making the product he is trying to sell smell like perfume instead of fine tobacco? Kinda makes me wonder what kinda guy is running this place...

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

Well no pics gents. She left just as I arrived tonight and as I was leaving I was banned from the store.

Evidently the two times that the owner then the manager stated they would prefer I buy and smoke their cigars really wasn't a preference. Each time I explained that I don't like to do that but to rest the cigars at home and that I would of course support the B&M with a $10-20 purchase average. That wasn't good enough either as I pointed out in the last 5 visits I bought three times for $104 total. But since the last two of those five visits were no purchase I am a bad guy.

I even explained that I have seen others enter smoke and leave with no purchases. Those according to the manager are regulars that they know. I guess a new guy isn't afforded the chance to become a regular.

Anyways if you are ever in Houston or from the area and want to know what B&M NOT to go visit just let me know.

Wow. it sounds like u brought it up in a reasonable manner w/the ownership and they acted in the worst possible way from a customer service stand point.

Dust ur feet off brother and find a B&M run by some true BOTLs

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

That's some BS Brother. You never got a chance to tell them about the perfume, right?

Sounds like you walked in. Lit up. Smoked. Then cause you didn't buy anything, they asked you not to come back.

Is that right?

And you were smoking a cigar that you bought from them in a previous purchase?

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

My girlfriend also pointed out she has been in about 6 times in the last two months to buy her cigarettes despite they are marked up from HEB that is farther away so she would go there to support them also.

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

Well Jason. It's clear you need to find a new local to support.

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

It's hard to find a good local store sometimes. I'm at a crossroads with a few. I do my best but mostly I order from the net.

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

I have been treated or had friends treated similarly at a couple places around here, Jason....I won't be going back.

Re: B&M ettiquete question
 

I guess I have had good luck. 10 years of cigar smoking and B&M's all over the country and this is the first who I had a problem with. And it is also the B&M I have ever spent so much money with, ironic, huh?

**** 'em if they can't take a joke.
