I will never again darken the doorways to Bass Pro Shops, nor will they ever make a dime off me again.

I'm about 130 miles from Springfield and their headquarters and have been there on a number of occasions. The last time I went there, I actually had money I could spend. About $1500.00 worth. When I got there, I couldn't find one of the things I was looking for. After several salespeople walked past my puzzled self without even acknowledging that I was there, I (after about 30 minutes) walked up to two salesmen, interrupted their conversation about what they did the past weekend, and asked for some help. They seemed perturbed and when I told them what I was looking for they said they didn't have it. If they'd have left it at that, I'd have been happy, but then the jerk lied to me and told me that no such thing was ever made. The item I was inquiring about was an insulated coat, reversible, with orange on one side, and camo on the other. I left fuming. The next morning I drove from Tulsa Ok to Mitchell South Dakota to Cabelas and bought what I wanted, and alot more. I was so happy they put a Cabelas in KC because I'd rather drive 300 miles than 1000. And I love their stores. It is so much fun shopping in person there than by mail order.
