The death of the retail store

[Ucsdryder]

My Karen moment.

I can’t stand dealing with retail stores anymore.

Went to Cabela’s yesterday to buy some turkey shells, online says they have them in stock at the store, nope, not in store. Left empty handed. Side note, that place is so sad. The trout tank had carp in it.

Went to sportsman’s this morning, bought some turkey loads, not what I wanted but at this point I’m tired of looking.

Bought a powder funnel set. When I got home I went to toss the receipt, they overcharged me 5 bucks for the powder funnel from the price marked in store. I called and they said come back and we’ll refund you the 5 bucks. I’m more than 5 dollars away in gas, plus my time which apparently isn’t worth much.

Oh well, a good reminder why retail is dying. Next time order from scheels online. Thank you for allowing me my Karen moment.

That's hilarious!!!

Scheels is pretty nice and they carry quality gear. Just stocked up on H1000 yesterday at one

Carp in the trout tank.

WTF has this world come to.

And no, that's not a question.

Its worse at places like Rite Aid and CVS. I waited 15 min for someone to open the locked razor blade cartridges- I got tired of waiting.
Ordered them on Amazon to my door- cheaper….and delivered 4 hours later.

Ever since Bass pro bought cabelas they both equally blow… scheels is probably best of the bunch. Sportsman’s is okay…

It gets harder and harder to buy local. I try, but I can't spend half my Saturday going to 6 stores looking for something I need for a project. If you call some of them, the responses you get are comical.

Love scheels. Retail store and the website. Just too far for random needs.

I won't shed a tear for BPS/Cabelas if they go out of business. Sad, because Cabelas used to be a great company.

Scheels is pretty decent these days, and they don't put carp in their trout tanks.

How do you know it is a trout tank? Maybe it's a carp tank that used to have trout in it.

Awesome!

Pre-merger - trout tank

Post merger - carp tank

This is woke politics run amok. No other name for it.

I can’t help but enjoy watching the scuba diver cleaning the tank - maybe more fun than trout. Lol

Pre Covid they must have had a new guy in the tank - he scratched the heck out of it - must have taken a week to polish it all out. Lol

Are you saying the carp identifies as a trout?

If that’s the case I’m the ass hole that mis-specied that poor trout. Apologies, I never intended to perpetuate my beliefs onto him/her.

 

[Dos Perros]

Are you saying the carp identifies as a trout?

I'm saying that it's 'you people' always trying to a put a label on it. A trout is a fish. A carp is a fish. It's a fish tank. Move on with your life instead of trying to split us up into warring factions when the truth is we have way more in common than differences.

Maybe ownership/possession of "live" trout is illegal, but it's legal for carp?????

With Bass Pro.......who knows. What I do know is that CO passed their law requiring a 3 day waiting period to actually take possession of a firearm.......and Bass Pro apparently didn't like 3 days, so they make you wait 4 days now.

I showed up after three days to pick up my rifle, after already waiting 9 days for it to ship to my local BP. And was informed that BP requires 4 days.....not three. So even more wasted gas. So now, not only Polis, but BP as well owes me for gas and time for extra trips for no reason.

Walk into any CO fly shop with a picture of a football brown and another with a carp, and there will be a lot of swooning over the latter.

Cabelas and sportsman’s suck now. Bass pro always did. Rarely go to any of them anymore. For in store, I go to Scheels or the small sporting goods section of Murdochs.

I took my family to Orlando for spring break. One of my kids needed meds and the dr was going to send them to Orlando pharmacy for me. I couldn't find a walgreens, cvs or rite aid that had a pharmacy in the store.
