I walked into a Games Workshop with some friends to maybe pick up a board game. My friends quickly realized our mistake and promptly left. I stuck around, so they handed me a sample figurine and talked me through the process of painting miniatures for a few minutes before I thanked them and left, because I didn't want to be rude.

Sorry if I'm missing something, what was the mistake made? It sounds like you guys were looking for a tabletop game shop and found one?

i'm assuming they thought it'd be a general board gaming store, then realized that it was really a shit ton of miniatures and rule books for very specific tabletop games only by games workshop, who is a company that makes games, not a store that sells all kinds of board games

Thanks for the clarification. I'm even a Boardgame Geek and I didn't know what Games Workshop was.
