Riley Gunnoe says business is booming at his tool store in St. Albans. He says it's because of a sign outside.
Gunnoe told me he didn't know what was going to happen when he put this phrase on it, "If you are for Obama's policies, please keep your dumba$$ out of this store."
Gunnoe says he didn't know what was going to happen when he put the sign up. "I didn't care. But it really has doubled my business since I put it up so I'm glad I did now!"
Some people in the community say it makes them question whether they would do business with Riley.
Thomas Snyder of Charleston said, "Who knows in the future if I was going to buy tools and my friends referred me to them, but now, why would I want to go there?"

Go to post 19.
One I always liked was:
"If you need it, we have it!
"If we don't have it, you don't need it!"
He does have a point there. Also, Obamabots are more likely to be scammers anyway, so this is a good move all around.
"You can do it in a way that could be considered to be rude because he uses curse words and tells you to stay out of his store and that's perceived to be rude, but that's his choice," said Rachel Pike of Charleston. "On the other side of that, we get to make the choice on how we react." Riley sells Makita Tools at his business.
Does anyone know how to write anymore? WTF does that last sentence have to do with the paragraph?
In a statement, they told 13NEWS, "Makita distributes its tools and products through independent local distributors and retailers which are not owned or operated by Makita. The comments, statements or publicity generated by such distributors and/or retailers are their own opinion and do not reflect the position or opinion of Makita."
Okay, I guess it has to do with the next paragraph in which you guys called his distributors to get him in trouble. I guess this is so your readership can boycott Makita now to put pressure on the store, seeing as how calling and whining from CA isn't helping.
How bout a radiator muffler??
Not surprised. They did this so Makita Tools can be pressured to cut ties with him, which is why they were mentioned.
Duh - the USSR.
Where is my $hundred?
I don’t know any men who don’t buy at the very least one tool a year.
Yes, put that on Isle #87 please, in the Bargain outlet.
rofl, you got a point, but they simply shoplift those tools. lol
you can find that in Isle #69, in the Bargain Outlet
I am loving it too. Because I KNOW we won this election. And I know THEY KNOW they are truly despised by more than half the American people. They can hold fake elections and steal the presidency but they can’t pretend they don’t know how reviled they truly are by except the morons, dead beats and malcontents.

Now wait just a second! The reporter was quoting “Rachel Pike of Charleston”. This is not the fault of the reporter but of Rachael Pike of Charleston!! It is clear that Rachel Pike of Charleston can not speak English correctly!!!
I think he is basically saying, he’s never had a tool in his hand before nor never intended to. But for the sake of being progressive and 15 mins of fame, I’ll pretend and that should really SCARE them. rofl
Please find that on Isle #77, at the Bargain Outlet
This thread has been the biggest load of fun I have had in many days. Keep it up folks we do need the laugh.
Poor Mr.Thomas, betcha he wishes he had never opened his mouth.
In case anybody like him is reading this: Riley's Bargain Basement Outlet is open. You will find the Outlet in Back of his Retail store, you will recognize it by the little Crescent Moon on the door. Help yourself to anything you find.
How about red & blue markers to mark our money. I would mark mine with a cross or a fish in red. Wonder how long it would take for all paper money to be marked in red?
