I agree... when I've bought stuff in the past, Barry's been more than helpful, and he's a great guy running a great business...
I just wish there was a more equitable way to run the checkout than the 'first-to-checkout' free-for-all that's currently in place.
Really, it prevents people from spending more on clams because they're so worried they won't get their first-choice clam (even though it's already in their cart) they rush to checkout before somebody else can do it... it's like I was penalized because I wanted to browse a couple more minutes and see if there was anything else I wanted to buy...
I wouldn't be so miffed, other than the fact that this is the 3rd time in a row the above scenario has occurred... and I figured that with a minimal 5-minute browse time there shouldn't be any problem...

Once again, I don't want to sound like I don't like clamsdirect or Barry... this is totally focused on the checkout system.

Also, thanks to everybody for not telling me to quit whining...
