JaSSon Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Their business hours are weak! I went there Tuesday to buy some chain maintenance supplies and a rear stand. I arrived at 8:12pm. The friggen doors were already shut, locked, and barricaded(!). I finally got the free time and went back yesterday (Sunday). I walked in at about 4:30 and wandered about aimlessly for a few minutes browsing BS i didn't really need but really wanted when i heard "Atten Iron Pony shoppers, the store will be closing in 15 minutes..." or some similar practiced GTFO speech. And then they started playing that "Closing time" song that bars usually play at last call. Are you serious Iron Pony? Closing at 8 on a week day? Closing at 5 on a BEAUTIFUL Sunday with a store full of customers? And there was a fair amount of people in there. This is Your peak season, IP! Get with it! Where are your "Summer season hours"?

Guest Removed Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 so..you want them to stay open 24/7 just for you just to buy some chain wax? lol..j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well they obviously arent hurting for sales then. I guess when your the only real show in town you can force people to come when its good for you. I would have prob been annoyed also.

Farkas Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Those business hours sound normal to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Those business hours sound normal to me.. Thats what I was thinking, actually I'm surprised they are open on Sunday. You know you can buy the shit online, that's what the rest of us busy people do. Dude I'm sorry your schedule sucks, join the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 x2 on thinking there hours are fine. they open 10-8 m-f 9-6 saturday 10-5 sunday frankly i would want to get home to my family on SUNDAY as well. there hours are verrrry good in my opinioin for a motorcycle parts store. (hell most autoparts stores have crappier hours an they cater to more people then IP) mabey you should go within there hours an just not cry about it lol? just throwing it out there goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruinms Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 workers at iron pony have a life outside of there also. there hours work great for everyone but you. put yourself in there shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 workers at iron pony have a life outside of there also. there hours work great for everyone but you. put yourself in there shoes. I have no desire to walk in their shoes. And you completely miss my point. Iron Pony exists for 1 simple purpose: to make money. End of the day, that's why it's there. When I went last week, I would have guessed their hours to be till 10, 9 at the absolute earliest. This is their peak business season after all. And I'm irritated that I had to make a 2nd trip to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 so you want them to stay open till 9 or 10? when its time for you to get off work, do you stay late for other people? or is it a mad dash to get home to your loved ones?

And I'm irritated that I had to make a 2nd trip to the store. if you were "upset" about them closing on you before you made a second trip...didnt you think to check out what there hours of operation are.... so you want them to stay open till 9 or 10? when its time for you to get off work, do you stay late for other people? or is it a mad dash to get home to your loved ones? this.

Bam Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 And I'm irritated that I had to make a 2nd trip to the store. This is exactly why they don't extend their hours. They know what they have and they know that people will come no matter what, even if it is inconvienent. I think 9pm could be reasonable on weeknights, but being open til 5pm on Sunday makes up for it I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 oh btw, I have a rear stand, $20 and its yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I would lock up before dark in that shithole of an area also. But seriously, 5 on Sundays in the Summer is dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35RFTW Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Classic argument, but seriously theya re open more than just about any other motorcycle shop I know of(mine included). I would like to kno the hours you work. Do you not go to work to make money? Iron Pony is not Walmart so give them a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyjr1647545514 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 for the few sales we might have at later hours it just isn't worth the extra payroll. Sundays are nice days for rides, and i have to work sundays so i like the fact that i get of early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 sounds like a consumer fuckup to me I call ahead if I'm not sure what a store's hours are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
