I once made a joke "aptitude test" for would-be gun shop employees, to see if the hopeful applicant could emulate all the worst tropes of the Local Gun Store sales clerk.
I will also note that, any time a forum poster bemoans the lack of clue of gun store counter monkeys, I tend to retort with "Have you taken a good look around on your side of the counter?"
The Counter Jockey of the eponymous Chronicles gets a good view of the weekend tire-kicking crowd at the local gun counter, and has posted an aptitude test to see if you're qualified to stand among them and get your nasty handprints all over his freshly-Windexed glass.
