Its that time again...

So I am in Michigan for work for a few days. So I decide to go to one of the Flagship Cabellas, in Dundee. I have a few gift cards laying around so decided to look for one of the Last Chance Duty belts. So I flag someone down to ask where they are in the store. This guy gives the deer in the headlight look. So I try to describe what I am looking for still blank stare. So I said I kind of get the feeling you don't carry them or you don't know what I am trying to describe? "HE SAYS I WORK IN THE GUN DEPARTMENT I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT STUFF"

Sounds like a what is the dumbest thing you have heard a big box store?

No. Most stores only hire idiots to make profit. If you can't find it on your own you need to exit the store and not return.

I didn't have that experience in the Dundee store, but I'm happy to say that I walked out with this the one time that I went there:

That's a beauty! Was it new or used? The Cabelas closest to me seems to be overpriced on most things.

Went to Home Depot, asked salesperson about an item, she looked it up on her tablet, wow technology.

That's a nice looking rifle. I like the proportions of it. I'm gonna sound dumb, but what is it?

I haven't been to the Dundee store but the Cabelas I live near is nothing like that. They're always more than nice, helpful, knowledgeable or get someone who is, and more than willing to take money. Basically my experience has been that at least the store I go too has some of the best customer service.

Brand new

Marlin 1894 chambered in .45 Colt.
It's the uncommon round barrel version sold only through Cabela's for a few years in this caliber.
It's a really good shooter, and it has taken three deer.

Sounds just like the help (or I should say lack of help) I got from customer service in Bass Pro in Portage in.

What, you mean big box store employees being paid minimum wage aren't trained experts in their department? Surely you jest!

For awhile, while getting a degree in auto tech, I worked in the shop in a Farm n Fleet back in IL. Woulda been OK if they didn't have regular store clerks running the service desk that didn't know jack about cars... or English... and forget technical writing. "please check car makes a noise" is not acceptable work instructions
