I would like to think there are more people like you, Ross, but there wouldn't be enough of them to make me feel at ease

The other problem with GNC is that you have ignorant employees pandering to ignorant customers. Neither means harm, but you have guys who come in for the overpriced Muscletech swill and the goof behind the counter is happy to sell it and talk it up. The customer does as much to hose up the employee as the other way around. I can't BEGIN to tell you how often I have a good chuckle over some of the stuff I've heard at the GNC, and not all of it comes from a clerk. I've had customers chat me up too, though I suspect I'm not nearly the 300lb wall of muscle they idolize... Regardless, they often seem disappointed that I won't talk about supplements and how awesome they are. It is like a little cult, supplement heads
