My missus was really good for that!
Even our local firearms officer was good at phoning us up and saying we had x number of slots still to fill!

I overheard a lad asking which pellets he should buy for taking out a deer. Can't remember which ones the gun shop suggested..............

I heard a member of staff at one shop telling a customer with some considerable glee how he blew the jaw off a fox at 300 yards.
The mum and her son who'd come in for his first fishing rod just turned round and left.

I emailed the owner at some considerable length about the role we have as ambassadors and promised never to go back. I got a long apologetic reply but the member of staff concerned still haunts the place I'm told.

At a clay shoot asks for your rifle and bullets, watch how many people move away from you and let you go first.
Eases up a busy shoot.
