We all complain about Guitar Center for any number of reasons, but most of us still have to patronize them anyway. If we're lucky, there's someone on the staff there that makes it a decent experience. At risk of being too employee of the month about it, it's nice to hear about those guys and gals.
For me, I must recognize Ozzie at the Brooklyn GC. In all the years I've been going there the drum guys have actually all been cool but Ozzie stands out: a little bit grizzled and jaded but also real friendly and down to earth and helpful. And remarkably patient when the drum room is invaded by teenagers all demanding a pair of demo sticks! I don't usually look forward to going there but I'm always glad to see that he's working when I do.
Who do you hope is on the schedule when you make your GC run?
