Yes and no . . I've thought that before, but it has more to do with how many staffers are already in your area.  We have a total of 6 shops, but I can't get on with anybody because everybody already has at least 1 staffer within an hour's drive.  The requirements are also getting tougher. 

The only thing they really care about is, do you work in a pro shop? If you can sell their stuff, you're in.

Gizmo,

Or maybe it has more to do with-

1. you have stated on the world wide web numerous times that you would be worried about the perceived bias and wouldn't necessarily push a brand you were on staff with.
2. you don't own the shop so you only have limited input on purchasing

If you're going to post on the internet and let everyone know who you are sometimes it may come back and bite you.

Not to mention his very apparent hate of the game of bowling!

It's been a while since I've sent in a staff app . . but within a 60 mile radius, there are 4 Brunswick (+DV8 and Radical) staffers, 2 Motiv Staffers, a Storm (+ Roto Grip) staffer, Hammer staffer, Columbia staffer, 2 Lord Field staffers, and that's just who I know about.  Regardless of anything else, it doesn't make much sense to pack so many staffers into such a small area.

You can't fix problems with something if you're always singing and dancing, and to completely judge someone for how/what they post on an internet forum is pretty juvenile . .

I judged a specific attitude based on a specific comment, and used it as an example for another topic . . I don't see how that's completely judging a person in entirety.

You judged that guy for using the word 'first' when referring to his 300 game....COME ON!

People get fired/not hired for jobs for things on Facebook, so if you think the things you post on a bowling specific site won't make a difference in the bowling world, well, you're wrong.

I'm giving you the perspective of someone who has made staff decisions for both big and small companies, but I'm sure you know better than I do.

I didn't say it wouldn't make a difference did I?
