Members wildrose Posted November 17, 2010 Members Report Posted November 17, 2010 I could honestly have a field day with the typos/grammar issues on this site as a whole....but I won't. I WILL say that I thoroughly agree with the original statement: Tandy ought to at least send a message via mail/email to that store's clients to advise them of the coming closing. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted November 17, 2010 Moderator Report Posted November 17, 2010 We all would do well to clean up our spelling and grammar because many of our visitors do not speak American English as a first language. If they put the not-so-carefully done posts in their translators, they can't make sense of it. Also, when a person is searching, the board isn't smart like Google to suggest alternative spellings. Closing the store with no notice to the regulars was probably because it seems they fired the manager just as unexpectedly. Customers shouldn't have to call ahead to see if the store is open. I realize Tandy employees have families, but there ought to be store hours for Sunday. Sometimes that is the only afternoon I have free to go 90 miles to Ft. Wayne or Cincinnati. Johanna Quote

I could of stocked up. The owner here (Ross-Ft. Wayne) said he came from Texas. Maybe Tandy can't have more than a lotted amount of stores in one state. But after 20 years of absence, I damn pleased they are back. Edited November 21, 2010 by Strmchsr Quote
Members Big Papa Leather Posted December 16, 2010 Members Report Posted December 16, 2010 Is Ross a skinny little freak? I'm sure he's the same guy. Trained in the Austin store. If so tell him I said hi! Allen Quote

Members terix Posted December 17, 2010 Members Report Posted December 17, 2010 Thanks, Johanna, for pointing out that we all aren't part of the English-American language family. But we're certainly Leatherwork Family. Regards, Tore Quote
