Trip 1 Brick Dicks - Went to buy some ammo... No issue...success

 

Trip 2 Freehold Dicks - Went to look at some shotguns and see what ammo sales they had. Upon asking the salesman to get me some ammo out of the cage.. I received an agitated response of you need an ID and DL. No problem.. He then proceeded to tell me that he could deny me because I have an updated address sticker on my license.. Mind you.. The same exact license I used to attain my FID in the first place. I told him he was wrong, he was unaware of the law and that if he wanted to call my PD feel free to explain that to them.. He mumbled something then handed me my ammo.

 

Trip 3 Brick Dicks(see above) - Went to see about a Remington 870 and ammo. Upon handing the salesman my FID and DL.. He looked puzzled... His words were.. This ain't right. These are supposed to be typed. I've never seen an ID card that was hand written. The SP type these up and send them that way to the PD. I can't let you see anything. He looked liked the guy from Scanners before his head blew up. I told him I just bought ammo here 2 weeks ago and that he sounded stupid. Laughed and told him he lost a sale. I didn't feel like arguing, and even my wife was fed up with his attitude.

So she just got her card this week and it is handwritten also. She told the Detective wht this guy said and the detective gave her his card and said next time anyone questions you two.. Please have them call me.

That's nice the Detective was cooperative.

 

Honestly, I feel bad for people with experiences like these. I dunno why you even go back to be honest.

 

I try to support locally when I can, but most of my ammo I buy in bulk and I can't tell you how easy it is to add a couple things to my shopping cart, type a couple words, press submit, and I have ammo arriving at my doorstep in a couple days.

 

The best part might be convenience, but instead, it's not having to deal with ridiculous employees.

If it was the short older gentleman in Freehold,he fancies himself a ballbuster and comedian {his descriptives not mine}and I have had to gently remind him that I came to purchase ammo not review a floor show. On the other hand I have never had an issue with the East Brunswick branch.

I think it's pretty sad that you are going to drop a cop's card to get people to sell you ammo. I am so sorry

The FID cards are handled at the PD level. I know my PD typed mine bcause they made a mistake and fixed it the day I picked it up.

Sorry for who?

 

I'm sorry for you that you presume things. I think its pretty sad that you feel the need to comment negatively on something you're not sure of.

 

I'd never involve the police for something like that. Don't be silly. If you reread.. You'll see that I left the store because I "didn't feel like arguing"

 

This guy at dicks was a tool. Maybe my long surf hair threatened him.

 

 

Laughed and told him he lost a sale.

 

Why would he care? Actually, he'd prefer to not have you buy anything, because he doesn't have to write your info in the book. There is no incentive for this guy to be helpful.

I won't be going back.. It's not worth having to educate people every time you need some bullets.

 

Recessed.....Where do you prefer to shop for ammo online?

I was responding to this:

I guess I was silly, and feeling the need to comment on something negatively that I was unsure of.

 

I have learned the error of my ways. I think it fucking rocks that a cop gave your family a card in case somebody gave you a hard time about buying ammo. I think it is a totally excellent example of the state of affairs in your state. Ask him if I can get one in case I have problems buying gas and milk, both of which I do in Jersey.

 

 

Why would he care? Actually, he'd prefer to not have you buy anything, because he doesn't have to write your info in the book. There is no incentive for this guy to be helpful.

 

Why is it when you post something on here, people automatically think you are an idiot and only posting something here because you are clueless?

 

Do you think I thought he cared? Obviously he didn't, because if he did, he would know not to deny me.

 

I wasn't asking him to go out of his way... Just do his friggin job.. He is a sales associate. He is supposed to help me transact stuff in his store.

I went to two Dick's. To buy case of 9mm target ammo. The Cherry Hill one would not honor my ScoreCard rewards points. As I had 'foreseen', being a Jedi and all. Which you have to be in NJ, especially w this gun stuff.

 

Then, went to Dick's Deptford. Got my stuff, rolled it out in a shopping cart, got my rewards card points, like I've done for years. Had a nice day.

 

Mipafox... He gave her the card because the guy at dicks said mine was fake. Accusing someone of forging a government document is pretty serious. The issue is this guys incompetence.. Nothing else.

Whoah, actually, I got it now. Thanks

And I agree with you mipafox... It is a sad state of affairs in NJ with things like these.. But our milk is only $2 a gallon

 

You never mentioned what caliber ammo you are looking for but check the hot deals thread; if anyone finds a good deal on ammo online they post it there.

Brick Dicks is a fail, freehold Dicks has an old guy who is an ex cop who always helps me out, I only went to the brick store on my way to brick armory, but that won't be happening anymore. Call up there corporate number, they will help u out. Good luck

The older ex cop is the gentleman I was referring to in my previous post. Apparently he's less of a PITA when dealing with a fellow LEO.

Why would he care? Actually, he'd prefer to not have you buy anything, because he doesn't have to write your info in the book. There is no incentive for this guy to be helpful.

 

This is the dumbest thing I ever heard anyone say. So then why would he ever help anyone in the store for anything? They don't make commission. I sure hope you don't work in retail, I would hate to run into have someone like you with that kind of attitude.

I've always had snarky attitudes with the guys at the freehold shop. No matter how many times I've been in there. I've also had the same problem with the change of address sticker that the NJ DMV SENT ME when I changed the address.

 

I agree with a previous poster - as much as I like to work with a local shop - its pretty damn hard to not buy my stuff online, cheaper, and with no hassles.

 

Don't get me wrong - I can appreciate the fact that the clerk is trying to make sure that guns and ammo don't get into wrong hands - but seriously man, don't make it out to be like I'm a criminal for coming into to pick up a box of .22 lr to run through my 10/22 at the range.

if you really want to see attitude, ask them to remove the trigger lock on a gun your checking out.

IMO, don't bother with Dick's for gun stuff, unless they have some unbeatable deal going on. I would suggest finding a local FFL/dealer for your gun needs. For ammo, sometimes dealers stock stuff at decent prices if you need ammo on the run, but online tends to be the way to go in terms of buying bulk, but of course takes shipping lead time to get to you.

I will have to remember this one. i like it

The dicks in paramus wasn't bad at all. There was a younger guy who helped me look at shotguns a while back, answered all my questions and was very polite.

My son and I went to Targetmasters in PA today. What a great selection of guns, ammo & supplies! We shot for ~an hour, only half the lanes were occupied. Went down to fix his car and got done so quickly, we decided to go shoot! Makes me forget all about Dick's.

Mipafox... He gave her the card because the guy at dicks said mine was fake. Accusing someone of forging a government document is pretty serious. The issue is this guys incompetence.. Nothing else.

 

the thing that is most serious to me is that people continue to give business to places that have continuously told you that they do not care for your business...

there are so many easier and cheaper ways to obtain ammo that it boggles my mind that anyone would tolerate this..

 

just to be clear.. my fiance works at Dicks in PA.. and it is JUST some Dicks in NJ that do this.. I buy ammo at Dicks here sometimes.. this is the process.. I walk down to ammo section.. take the ammo off the shelf.. bring it to a register.. and pay.. so it is definitely not Dicks as a whole..

Yes, this is so simple and economical that I don't think I have ever bought ammo from a store. I agree about supporting local businesses when we can, so all of my firearms purchases have been through local dealers. But not so for ammo, at least for me.
