Went to GNC this weekend for some more protein. Of course these guys that work there know everything. I asked him, "Where is your casein?". He goes, "Umm, actually all of the protein powders here have casein in them so...".

Going into GNC you should generally have an idea what your going to buy before hand, I try to avoid the salesmen as much as I can unless i'm asking them to get more protein from the back when I buy too much from the front and want the same flavor.

when you shop at GNC you get ripped off not ripped. Gaspari's plasmajet $79.99 at GNC, at an online supplier same product $45. ON's pro-complex i think like $63-69, online about $50.

gnc is only good if you are at the mall and in need of a RTD drink instead of the food court.

Speaking of GNC i am actually trying to get a job there while i am in school. I figured i could give people some good advice and get paid for it at the same time. The prices do suck but sometimes you need something asap and can not wait for shipping thats what i use them for. other then that GNC is pretty much worthless

Personally, I love just going into a GNC and screwing with the salesman.

If he knows what I am talking about, I might buy something.

If he has no idea, I'll ask him if he knows where I can buy an aluminum magnet.

People are just stupid by nature. But not the Dungeon.

At GNC, your bench goes up but your wallet gets thinner.



I love walking in there and laughing at the prices.

I like GNC...

Have you guys noticed that the majority of the people that work at GNC are big? I'm sure they know what they're talking about, they just play stupid to make money. Their prices aren't that bad if you monitor the sales, special offers, etc. I shop there, just because I'm forbidden to shop online. Parents :(.

Before taking any supplement, you should know what it does before you go buy it, regardless what it is.
