From the 185 lbs "squash bods" working there to the grossly overweight "bodybuilders" working there, they all got shaved forearms...Does anybody here work there?

HAHAHAHAHAA OK, You're a "Big Guy", Mr. Vitamin Shoppe cashier....

LOL, I went in there for the first time in years to buy protein the other day. It's hilarious seeing those gel haired morons argue over who's going to help the guy with the 30$ protein sale hahaha. "want a bar with that bro? or a shaker bro?" hahaha
-
Lol the guy at the downtown crossing one in Boston looks like Einstein! Not to mention all the employees know jack shit about supplements.
-
All the Vitamin shoppes in the city are doing really shitty, which is good for me cause I always catch mucho savings via thier bad luck ...
I bought two years ago this protien shake that you take before you sleep, it normally cost 90 bucks but I got it there for 70% off...
-

HAHAHAHAHA....It's always, "can I help you?"......"can I help you find anything?"......lol.....How about let's have you help me find the hair that should be on your big time bodybuilder forearms!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, they are always hanging out near the back and when you walk in they run up to the front saying "need help bro?" trying to get on your level. hahaahahaha community college drop outs lol
-
wow that means you only wasted $20
When I woke up , i had this quasi -pump feeling going on though.. yes 20 dollars def. wasted
Its like buying a tanktop from D&G at 80% off, you still spending 40 bucks on a tank top...
-
hahah, anyone notice how these little pukes in the supplement stores try and talk down to you as if you don't know shit about anything when you're obviously 100x better than they are? "so what're your goals, are you looking to lose some body fat while gaining some muscle?" hahahha, thanks you 160lb geek, please lay it all out for me, you're my saviour!!!!!
i worked at a supplement store in college and while 90% of the people who came looked shitty to somewhat decent, i still didnt talk down to even them. i just asked them if they had and questions and told them i'd help them if they needed it. and when the guys came in that were far ahead of me i'd just point them in the direction of whatever they were asking to buy. but these fucking kids with their GNC shirts and nametags think they're Supplement Sheriff's in the Wild Workout West here to clean up the town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaa
-
hahahaha, yes it's in the Vitamin Shoppe handbook that they have to have the shaved forearm "personal trainer" look just like they make all the little bitches at Hollister wear sandals and mop hairdos, hahahaha, gayer than lemon squares.

You still could have gotten it cheaper online. ;)
I just HATE GNC. They are such a big player - how come they don't use their power to lower prices (like Walmart). This was a $3-4 BILLION company in 2000ish, the last time the chain was sold I think it went for $750 MILLION (ouch). Monster pricing mistakes vs internet companies. They are getting crushed by lean companies on the net. Learn how to price idiots. This ain't a 1985 mall business anymore.

i like how the arms are shaved but the legs are hairy as fuck, looks ridiculous.

Hey genius,
GNC gives refunds on used products, so if you're that poor: buy it, use it, return w/in 30 days for a full refund. Free sups, doesn't get any cheaper than that, unless you're sponsered and they pay you to take it. Funny thing is even for free it is a rip off, it's just 21st century snake oil.

Is shaving their forearms supposed to make them more sleek? :-\
-
i bet when you're actually at the shop you're overwhelmed at their size and expertise and you're all friendly and you too, use the word BRO all the time, it's only later when you go home and feel you've been ripped off you come here and bash them.
i bet you shave your forearms as well!
-
what's that?
Thats called scare tactics...superstar appears to be a big dude and intimidated this dork into a discount hahaha.
-
I want to shave my ass... How the hell do you do this without risk of slicing into a hemorrhoid ??? I got such a hairy ass I can't crap without making a big mess :P I'll ask them next time I go into the Shoppe ;D
-
Shaved forearms??? WTF ::)
Reading some of these post ALWAYS makes me feel better about my own life because I've got way too much going on to notice some dudes hairless forearms! What the fuck is wrong with you guys? In the words of the great William Shatner

problem is you could only do it at the same store two or three times max and then find other stores and hope that they don't call each other and give them the heads up.

Hmm......very true. Unless, I have someone else go for me every month!!!!!!

or you can do what i did in high school......carefully peel away (or you can steam it off with an iron) the protective styrofoam cover under the top of whatever you buy (if it has one, the creatine used to) and then dump out all the stuff into another container......then fill it back up with sugar and glue the styrofoam protective thing back on and return it as new. with this method it's better to buy a multiple items at the same time and do them all so you wont have to be back for awhile. but they probably wont hassle you if its new.
then you can enjoy looking out over your fellow gym compatriots and snicker at which one's getting fatter off all that sugar he thought was creatine.

look at it this way, if you live in a decent sized city , mine has 2 million or so counting the suburban metro area, you probably have 20 stores or so to go to, New York, Chicago or L.A. probably has more like 50 or so, that could be quite a few free containers of supplements.

you also have their policy on your side so they may give you a hard time, but read the back of the receipt they are obligated to give you a refund if you are disatisfied for any reason (within 30 days of purchase). So say whatever you want. I always just say it gave me digestive upset. That's a good one because people usually don't want more information.

Remember no sales tax and shipping charges go down obvioulsy when you buy multiple things (which we all use at least a few sups).

See you in prison with Titus. Man, I hope you don't use a credit card for these transactions. Remember the Tylenol scare of the 80s. They would have lynched the guy who did that,

Fuck goin to GNC, i got a GNC hook up that gives me employee discount, delivers to my house and smokes mad reefer. He is probably the only guy i ever knew that worked at a GNC and wasn't a moronic douche bag. He also hooks it up with free samples all the time.

This is a stupid thread, you obviously believe you should be working in the 'vitamin shoppe'

those were paid with cash, circa 1997

well according to the policy it doesn't matter how much is left, and I have returned MANY containers absolutely empty (even a whole box full of wrappers of protein bars, yes I used to be a cheap bastard) but they will give you less of a hassle if you leave a little bit in there.
The secret is to buy very large containers (like the tub container of isopure), so even if you use a LOT there will still be a good amount left.
Seriously though when I was in college I lived on free supps, and i went and returned stuff to some stores 10 or more times. You just have to switch it up, rotate between stores. If they give you a hard time, just yell at them and point to the policy written on the back of EVERY RECEIPT

Used to be a cheap bastard? I haven't ascended into that level of cheapness (yet), but GNC's and Vitamin Shoppe do have really good deals on shit when it is going to expire. I usually won't buy anything from them unless it is on closeout. There used to be a product called Power Butter (the protein peanut butter) that was awesome when it was fresh (but also a ripoff). I bought 4 jars on closeout for about $6. They were like bricks because all of the oils separated from the rest. I have one supporting my air conditioner in the window now. I just bought 12 of the ABB MRP canned shakes at $0.50 each that expire at the end of June that are pretty good for taking to work.
Borders (or maybe Barnes & Nobles) has a similar return policy for books. You can read it and bring it back; they basically have a no questions asked policy for book returns. But bringing back just a box of empty wrappers...I would have loved to see the look on that guy's face when he saw that. You should have eaten the last one in front of him too. He was probably so shocked that he forgot to suggest the special GNC vitamins.

My friend George tried to bring back at book to Borders that had been in the bathroom. It cost 160 dollars and since it had been "flagged", they wouldn't let him return it.

My hands are hairy, so I trimmed them once and it made my arm hair look like a fuckin sleeve. So, I shaved them, they've grown back since. Does nair for men work?

lol,thats why i shave mine twice aweek cause it seemed like once i started shaving them they started getting more hair on them,i was thinking of getting my forearms waxed so i dont got to shave them things twice aweek ;)

My shaving routine already sucks, I'm Sicilian and naturally hairy. Between my chest, face, head(I am balding, so I just said fuck it), and keeping up my area for the ladies, I just don't feel like shaving my arms. I might try Nair for men though.
-
the trick to the forearms are not cutting your veins and bleeding to death,lol.the forearms do take me the longest to shave,my wife shaves my back with the friggin lawnmower cause i got these two big ass patches of hair growing on my middle back which sucks
-
Ha, reminds me of the 55kg jerk off trainers at my gym in Japan, with their shaved forearms and legs, telling all the new members not to eat carbohydrates casue they'll make you fat!! ha fuckin ha, the dumbbells I use weigh more than them
When I joined they told me that all the new members HAVE to have a trainer take them round for an hour to show them the exercises and write a program for them. Here's me sitting there in me wife beater with me tits sticking out the sides, twice the size of the trainer with the "your fucking kidding me" look on my face.
He looked me up and down and said "today we'll make a special exception for you".. fucking tool

Same thing happened to me when I joined Ballys about five years ago. They were like "everyone has to go through a workout with the trainer". The trainer shot me a look like, come on dude I'm just trying to make a buck, ya know. So he followed me around for my workout and we just bullshitted, he was a pretty cool kid.

Just a little FYI here, fella. The employees at GNC have no control over the prices so quit being a dick. Yes, I'm a GNC employee and you have no clue how big a pain in the ass it is to deal with pricks like you day in and day out.
To the guys makin comments about the questions GNC employees ask you when you come in: We have to do that or we dont have a job. We get "secret shoppers" who check us out from time to time and if you dont ask those dumbass questions you fail the shop. 2 failed shops and youre fired. So take it easy on us huh? We KNOW it sounds stupid and condesending but we gotta do it.

what amazes me is that the people on here are able to conduct there daily social interaction on the net, but still go to the mall/gnc like they did in the 80's?
-
The vitamin shoppe in my town doesn't have an employee under 60.
I take that back, they had a 1 about 20 years old. Talked about being a cop and then getting into the CIA. He doesn't lift weights, just total body fitness . . . push ups, running, stretching, etc. Delusional little prick, they don't let LD students into the CIA.

I said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who works for a living deserves respect. Its not like working at GNC is even that bad. You probably get good discounts, see some hotties and a little down time to read or whatever. Don't let a couple meatheads get to you bro.

Nothing sexier than a classy woman, or in this case man pretending to be a woman.

We KNOW it sounds stupid and condesending but we gotta do it.
If you have no control over prices, then why do you seem to take it personally?
That still doesn't change the fact that the GNC has NOT changed it's business model to adjust to the times and still hopes to survive selling one bottle of energizers to a fat person who is too lazy to join a gym. If they wanted to grow, they would lower prices, close some stores (to prevent canabilism (sp?)), and sell to repeat customers that work out. It seemed to work for like every INTERNET company with no store fronts...
-
I said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who works for a living deserves respect. Its not like working at GNC is even that bad. You probably get good discounts, see some hotties and a little down time to read or whatever. Don't let a couple meatheads get to you bro.
O.K. BobbyBennett...HAHAHHA.. ..Thanks for standing up for the working man with the shaved arms.

Nothing sexier than a classy woman, or in this case man pretending to be a woman.
Sorry, didn't realize you worked there, Cardio.

I just can't believe people put down other people for jobs in which they find undesirable. Maybe its because i live close to the ghetto(bout 30 miles from detroit), but I hate our welfare system and drug dealers are killing people in my area(some kind of bad batch of fentanyl or something is killing dozens of people around here). All I am saying is that any asshole can mooch of our govt. or make money illegally, and to put down someone who wakes up and goes to work everyday seems asinine, with all due respect WS.

Good post. That just humbled me BIG TIME! The same type of 'H' is running rampant in the ghettos of Chicago as well...with the fentanyl. People are dropping like flies with the first hit. What that stuff does is it's such a strong sedative...it makes your body 'forget' to breathe and your lungs relax so much...well, you die. Horrible.

I say if you work a job you don't like then your an idiot plain and simple, why waste your life being unhappy 5 days a week. If you sell drugs in the ghetto or not and it's what your doin to get by then do what you gotta do, now i am not talking bout the guys making 6 digits and pimpin their ride but if your feeding youself/others and paying bills with that money then more power to you. People seems to have this misconception that selling "illegal" drugs is just some cake walk but it's no different that having your own business and very few sit atop the chain and just sit back and collect, plus would any of you like to deal with the kind of people who do hard drugs cause i am telling you right now people other then a potheads tend to be pretty fucked in the head and annoying cause they are fiends 24/7 and getting their high is their #1 priority.

Thanks a lot hun. Oh and btw I'm 100% female :-* and probably old enough to be your mother lol ;D

Let it run wild for a while before tracking it down. Clean up the gene pool some.

I don't know what you guys are talking about...there's always a bunch of fat f*cks working at GNC/Vitamin Shoppe.
Hey, i used to represent that remark...lol

I don't have anything against drug dealers per say. Hell, my vicodin connect was a cool dude, I choose not to do them anymore, but I don't begrudge him one bit. I personally don't respect their profession, but thats just me. As far as working a job you hate, I get your point, but just because some posters on here rag on gnc employees doesn't mean they are unhappy. I just think we have become a lazy society and too many people choose the easy way out, whether that be govt. assistance or illegal activities. The best example I can think of is a friend of mine who roofs houses everyday and delivers pizzas 3 nights a week, all to feed his wife and two kids. He would get eaten alive on here for being "poor", but I have more respect for him than anyone I know.

On another note the guy delivering pizzas and roofing needs every break in life he can get.

that's exactly how it was when i worked there. small franchise store, laid back atmosphere, good discounts and free shit and i picked up personal training clients there too and made commission off my current p/t clients. it was a win-win situation for a part-time job...

When people talk about the ghetto like its the zoo on the side of the road that they pass going 50mph on the road , then go to their boys and say ..damn we were just in the ghetto..its just typical dickhead shit that makes me laugh. When you and your boys cross the road when you get scared...hahah well im not in the ghetto anymore but when you live there you will understand. no hostility, just that your nobody tough if you live 30 miles away from the ghetto

yes, working in a job you hate is stupid. When young, we make wrong decisions that affect the rest of our lives. Or, circumstances change and you are downsized, need benefits. Life is rough all over. I am with Bobbybennet, as long as you are working in a legal job and paying your taxes, I have much respect for you. Those teachers, cops, firefighters in bad neighborhoods....what were they thinking when they chose that career path....

My favorite is how they always push the Mega Men multi at GNC. I stopped shopping there because it was so annoying (and because I discovered eBay).

Oh sorry, I didn't know the thread turned into a Michael Moore movie.

I just meant that the economy in my area sucks, thats all. No, I do not hang out in the ghetto all the time, I have no reason to. I was just saying that because of my close proximity to extreme poverty levels I may see some things that others wouldn't. I was probably being naive. I am sure everyone on here knows of people who abuse the system for free govt. money. And my comments had nothing to do with race, you will never catch me making a racist comment, even in gest. I don't even like those weird z or x boards cuz it seems like they get hard ons by spewing racist hate.

Just a little FYI here, fella. The employees at GNC have no control over the prices so quit being a dick. Yes, I'm a GNC employee and you have no clue how big a pain in the ass it is to deal with pricks like you day in and day out.
To the guys makin comments about the questions GNC employees ask you when you come in: We have to do that or we dont have a job. We get "secret shoppers" who check us out from time to time and if you dont ask those dumbass questions you fail the shop. 2 failed shops and youre fired. So take it easy on us huh?
