I love Pawn Stars but in recent months I've been longing for the good old days where it was just a pawn shop...\n\nThe first time I visited Gold and Silver, Pawn Stars was relatively new and we thought it would be fun to check it out. It was like a typical Pawn Shop save for a few \"Pawn Stars\" t-shirts.\n\nThe second time I visited Gold and Silver, Pawn Stars was becoming extremely popular. The place was going through a renovation and my mother and I brought in some scrap metals to sell at market price. The man we met with was kind and courteous and even gave us a signed photo of Rick Harrison and The Old Man. Overall it was a pleasant experience.\n\nOn out last trip however we decided to visit the shop again since the show is now the #1 show on cable. What we encountered was an extremely rude staff and absolutely no courtesy as potential buyers. The man behind the counter was extremely rude to my mother and in my book, that's not acceptable.\n\nIt seems like Gold and Silver has gotten somewhat cocky when it comes to customer service. Too bad...
