THE QUEST OF THE SILVER CHACOS aka THE MESSIAHS OF CUSTOMER SERVICE By Sir Duffy CHAPTER ONE: Beginnings Long ago, in the Mystical Land of Consumerism, there lived many people in harmony with the greater forces of nature: the salesfairies, the managelder. Chief among these was the SPIRIT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, who flourished in the era of mail catalogues and department stores. Then came a new force - the Internet god. We all thought he was good, noble, and benevolent, and at times he is. However that omnipotent bastard is straight bipolar. Soon at side were the Harpies of Credit Info and the Slug Riders of Shippingdale, whose battle cry was "Its in Processing!". Most horrible, at the helm was the Army of Infinite Trolls each armed with Spears of Ubiquitous Criticism and Shields of Scathing Sarcasm. It seemed all hope was lost. CHAPTER 2: Escape Choked by pop-up thistles and drowning in cursed mailings, I felt in need of escape. I curtailed my Master Craig enlistment, and found Righteous Employ in the Dark Continent of Africa. Restoration Gateway it was called, and I was doing Gods holy work. I lived there for what seemed like a lifetime, away from the Land of Consumerism and its evils. I relaxed my wherewithal and assimilated into the culture to the point that I de-shod myself from my Tevaan footwear and relinquished them to a child in need. With this act, I knew my time there was at an end. I had reached fulfillment in the Gospel, ran out of money, and didnt want become a pretentious hipster. So I reluctantly returned to the land of Consumerism. CHAPTER 3: The Search I awoke in a chill of terror. My selfless act of surrendering my shoes had left me barefoot and crippled, no longer able to run from the hordes. I beseeched Internet, asking telling him of my sandal quest. He laughed cruelly and sent me to the deceptively pleasant primal Amazons, then to the pirates of the Bay of E. I asked, What of the Sunenski Clan? He immediately softened, showing me lush windows with the Legendary Sandals of Chaco Island for a fraction of the coin sought by the Amazons. CHAPTER 4: The Heroes I left for the Norman Town clan meet, and was greeted by the jovial Bikesmith Jordan White, keeper of the cycle stables. With wit and aplomb, he fitted me for a steed and then fitted me for the sandals. Alas, while the logs said they were present, the Silver Rex (+2 buff to everything) I desired were no where to be found. Jordan looked and looked sending many letters updating me on his progress. At last he told me to go back to Internet the Fearsome. I tried my summoning incantation on the god but it was ineffective due to Paypal sucking. I sent a sparrow to Sunenski and quickly a hawk returned carrying the voice of John, the Night Phone Salesman. With friendly wisdom, he guided me through the steps necessary to get my wish. When my spell failed again, the hawk returned before I knew anything was wrong. Though his shift was over and he should be at home, John called upon me as a salve to my woes, performing the ceremony in my place. Now, I rest assured of my impending sandals, and realizing these were no mere mortals I encountered. No, John and Jordan were embodiments of the lost Spirit of Customer Service! I felt renewed with hope and clambered back to the Internet God to see how I could repay these heroes for their work. i only hope that my prayers have reached them. EPILOGUE: Authors note These are all true events just worded in an odd way by a sleep deprived biology student who is supposed to write an essay in the middle of the night but instead is presented with an online survey with a character limit around 4000. So not writing a three-page paper on Japanese culture, i penned a three-page short fantasy about my awesome experience with two of the best salesmen ever. Seriously, Jordan White the Bike Manager in Norman and John the Night Phone worker need to deserve a raise/bonus. I will post on all review sites until it happens.

This place is AWESOME. We had been eyeing a bike there for a while and stopped by to see it. Rob helped us out and we ended up getting the bike. honestly, everyone is so nice and knowledgeable and not pushy or snobby that by the time we hit the road we decided to go back and I bought a bike for me from them. Rob even delivered the bikes because it was on his way home! People this nice that really care about what they are working with are rare - I will keep going back. Also their hours are fantastic and they have pretty great prices.

The staff here is always friendly and eager to help in any way they can. Every time we come into the store, they recognize us and greet us warmly. Reagan has helped me find clothes and shoes for my daughter several times in the past. He always helps us find the best deals and recommends items we might like. Love this store and will continue to shop here!

Very disappointed theyre doing away with their bike department. These guys are hands down the most helpful, knowledgeable and bmx-friendly bike guys in town. They set the bar pretty high for what you should expect in terms of customer service.
