Took a ride out to cabelas today. The main reason for the trip was to purchase a new gun. I was after a glock 27 and they had one right there in the case. I got to the place at 10:30 thats only a half hour after they open and it was not very crowded, At least not as crowded as the place usally is. So there I stand at the gun counter that is about 100 feet long. They only had two guys working the handgun section and they were a little busy. Not near enough clerks if you ask me. A full 35 minutes goes by and still they had not uttered as much as a peep to me. In sheer frustration I just leave[:(!]. I can understand a clerk being busy, but these guys walked right past me three or four times on the way to a room behind the counter.The least you would expect would be a little courtesy, a simple "We will be with you as soon as we can, sorry for the wait" Thats all it would have takin for me to stick it out and make the purchase. The worst part was that it was painfully obviouse that the two guys they were spending all the time helping had no intentions of buying a gun. They were typical window shoppers out to see the sites at Cabelas. I too now have no intentions of buying a gun from them ,,,ever.

He then told me because of the fact that I was a vet I was entitled to 5% off the rifle which turned out to be $40. I don't know if they do this all the time or because it was near the Memorial day weekend.
Well I must give them a salute for doing this.
On the way home we stopped at a burger joint and they gave me a senior citizen discount without me even asking. I thought that was nice of them to do.
After having lunch my wife wanted to stop at a consignment shop which we had passed on the way to pick up the rifle. She saw a beat up table out front that she liked as she's into refinishing tables and dressers. We strolled around the shop for a bit and I ended up buying her the table for a mere $20.
So this was the first purchase of a firearm in my 34 years of marriage in which my wife was in attendance, so now she things I have 2 of them.[:D][:D]
This morning I shipped the 700 action down to Florida to have a Choate tactical stock put on it and have it converted to a detachable magazine. I should have it back in about 3 weeks.
Why is this guy working for this company? Why would this company hire this idiot?
Yes they do.
