i havent been playing 40k for long only just over 3 months, but i have taken part in 2 tornys and reguly go to my local shop on game night to play, and i have noticed that the people that work there are unfair in the way they look at the rules. first instant i was taking part in my 1st tonry, it was for the battle missions book launch the rules state that you can give 3 models any universel rule so i did and gave a member the scout rule and in the rule book it states that any model with that rule and is in a dedicated transport passes that rule onto the transport. one player cauers a rukcus about it and the guy in the shop ruled i couldnt use it, 2nd the shop had a game set up where anyone could come in and play a game agains the new blood angles codex, i took part and one guy ruined the hole day for everyone he bosted he knew the last 4 rule books of by heart but when i said i was going to fire my basalisk direct he kicked off and got very agitated when i said it could but i gave in just to get on with the game evan one shop worker said i could, he still fought it and said its imposible. it is people like him that ruin the friendly game feel for everyone involved, and at the end we called it a draw he was still gong on about how the angles shuld of won over a IG army, that may well be but the GAME is over leave and do something else!

has anyone come across shop workers being two faced or unplesant know-it-all gamers?

If you talk in the way that you write post (One big wall of words), I'd probably rule against you as well.

yes my english isnt great are you going to pick on me then you are one of thoes people

For our international viewers, it should be mentioned that the UK has a very high number of young players...

No need to become so touchy. I hate those people too, he was simply saying he found it annoying to see it as just one big wall.

I think that you encountered a TFG in that BA vs IG game. Also to be fair the people who work at GW can get their rules mixed up from time to time as they're supposed to be the ones who have played a bit more and have to know LotR, WHFB and 40k just to get the job. People make mistakes from time to time and it's best to not get hung up on it but keep the game moving as smoothly as possible then point it out calmly after the game.

As for the BA guy, don't worry too much about them, after a while people will remember his behaviour. If he always acts like that in the game he'll simply start finding it hard to find a game. On the other hand he might honestly believe that he was correct and sees it as you trying to cheat.

I don't think we really need another thread to complain about people in no position to defend themselves just yet...
