Retail rant!
Everyone here is so damn CHEAP it blows my mind. One of the other store managers I talked to said "Buffalo is the only place where if you buy a new car, you'll brag about how little you paid instead of how much you paid." That statement seems very true and odd to me. They come in repeatedly taking advantage of and working the system in every legal yet unethical way possible to save a couple bucks...or in one case this week, 14 cents. Seriously, if you people in Amherst are that poor I will start up a fund for you where I personally donate my own hard earned money to save your bank accounts. Now we have multiple locations...one of which is exactly 2.5 miles away and took me 3 minutes to reach the other day. When I'm out of something involved in aforementioned savings and offer to call that location to see if they have it in stock I get "ohhhh I can't go allllll the wayyyy over there!!!!!!!!" Are you freaking kidding me? There is no place in the Buffalo metropolitan area that is a far drive. People here are CHEAP as HELL and can't be bothered to drive more than 1 mile from their homes. Jesus.

I'm trying to try out as many different unique places as I can but find it difficult to get information on places since most don't seem to have websites or anything. For example, I was trying to find a menu or website for Empire Grill or Mother's but couldn't come up with anything useful.

also as a cell phone salesperson... i... understand all too well...
And i know exactly what you mean about distances here. Geographicly, this is not a big area. I don't think a 5 mile trip is a big deal. But i have heard others moan about it.
Even in our neighbourhood here in the city -- people talk about this street in 20 house chunks. "This street is good, but up a block is dangerous" and they are talking about something i can see from my front porch.
