When you buy a firearm at a big box store the standard procedure is to take all your information, send it to the government, then the sales clerk will take the packaged gun and escort you to the door like some nee'r-do-well bum that don't actually ever want to see again. Makes you feel really wanted.
This may not be all that bad an idea at least in some stores for if one of the other customers sees the clerk carrying the gun and calls the cops with a terrified "man with a gun" complaint, it will be the clerk and not you who gets gunned down.
TIP: Don't walk too close to the clerk carrying your new firearm. A nervous policeman is a notoriously bad shot.
and workshop. It's a fine workshop. Me and my assistant, Mr. Scratch.

At Walmart it is supposed to be a manager -- and is required to *not* be the clerk that sold the gun -- that escorts the gun and customer to the door.
I am told that one reason is the thing about not selling bullets and gun at the same time. This way, the customer can buy the bullets (if there are some on the shelf) and the gun at the same time, without confusing things.
In my store, guns leave in the box they arrived in, so that there is no issue about a nekkid long arm carried about the store.
I have that exact pellet rifle. It looks just like an M4. I,would never point it at someone who didn't get the joke, because people with real guns might shoot me.
Sorry, mine's the M4-177, which looks like an M4; this guy was waving around a MK-177, which looks like an FN SCAR-16s.
The point is exactly the same whether the gun looks like an EBR or not, you DON'T wave it about recklessly.
As Brad says the guns usually stay in the box at least while they're in the store so the episode sounds a bit suspect from the start.
