I know one store where the staff member in charge of second-hand gear has a
fairly serious cannabis habit. He's fully functional, nice lad, got to know
him well - but grasping, amoral zuikoholic that I am I tend to bargain with
him when I can see that he's fairly mellow. (Hey, $400, $300, why not $250
- who cares man?).
