I have not purchased the S@H bulk packs but I did clear out classic
light gray from the Solomon Pond LEGO store last week. The staff there
welcomes me by name. The managers are mixed about whether I should be
an employee. Customer questions get redirected to me frequently so I am
valued more than some of the staff; however, I am good for their sales
numbers.
Those of us who have the ear of LEGO employees who deal with the public
should also make sure their chain of command is informed of our issues.
