That is the way to do it unfortunately too many people are subject to impulse buying.

Or you could ask for a box of Remington 7 mag 140 grain corelockts and get presented with 7-08,7wsm and 7 stw ammo since they didn't seem to know what a 7 rem mag was. BOy was that a lawsuit waiting to happen.

As my sister said"Wal-Mart is the center hub to Red-neckville"

But hey,you can't beat their prices on cammo,fishing and other outdoor stuff.I walked into the local Wal-mart last year,was just browsing,checking things out.I looked in one of the glass case and hear they had a Buck Alfa hunter knife for only 19.99,man I bought in a heartbeat,thats 40 bucks off what anyone else had it for.
They are tough on regular stores,but I still shop at both.

Man isn't that the truth, I would even go and add a few other stores in like Sportsmans Warehouse. Sportsman does caryy everything for a hunter and fisherman, but some of the employies don't seem to know their product very well. I have asked about certian reloading items only to be told that they don't exist or they don't carry them. Only to find them myself and say well what do you call this then. Also one time I was buying 10 Gauge shotgun shells and was just compareing prices between the brands. A employe came up to me and annonced that he worked in the gun dept. and that if I needed help with anything just go ahead and ask. I ask if they still had on shells on sell? He said he didn't know but would find out. He asked me what I was looking for, I told him and he was like cool my buddy shoots a 10 Gauge too. I then told him that I love my Browning Gold 10. He looked at me strait face and asked now is that the Browning Pump or the single shot? I can't remember? I thought he was just joking and said oh it's just the single. I then just for fun because I thought he was joking said how much do they sell for now? He said follow me we will have a look. He then went and started to look at the single shot shotguns. He couldn't find it and called on the phone and asked the gun manager to come and try to help him find a Browning Gold 10 gauge. At that point I knew he wasn't joking and realy didn't know what he was looking for. I told him it's over there, and pointed, he was like its an auto? I then asked him you don't know what a Browning Gold is but you work in the gun department? He responded well I wasn't sure what it was, but I have heard of it and I have only worked here a month and we have many guns. Its too many to keep track of all of them. I was totaly shocked and was thinking how in the world do you sell guns but don't know the product. I still buy stuff at sportsman but I know what I want and find it myself without any help. My brothers and I call it the "I don't know sporting good store" ask them a question and all they can say is "I don't know". They have good prices but I guess they can't afford good help.

Yea, we have a Sportsman Warehouse here in the D/FW area of Texas. My boss gave me a gift certificate from there for Christmas so me and my brother-in-law went there on Christmas Eve.

Most of the stuff was overpriced. One of the guys in the hunting dept started talking to me and my brother in law. Military firearms came up and it was amazing how much BS this guy was spewing. My brother in law was a class 3 dealer (full automatic/suppressors) and I was an Army Infantry Captain so it wasn't hard for us to recognize BS. The ones that think they know something are worse than the ones who don't know anything IMHO. Like I said before, I know what I want before I step foot in a store and I usually know how much their competitors are charging also.

lol guys, i am the kid behind the counter.. thanks.. a nd for y'alls info i must be the one percent that knows almost anything a customer will ask about guns.. then again, i'm a die hard hunter who works in SG to fuel my wallet-spending-passion.. lol.. jerks!

Hi FBPlaya:

I have no reason to doubt you are in the one percent that knows everything a customer may ask you. However, if you do have that knowledge, you have to admit you not fairly compensated for it and are probably paid as much as someone that doesn't.

CE

The guys at our store seem to have their act together as well, except I was in there yesterday and all the archery gear is gone and the hunting supplies have been reduced to about a 8' section of shelves.

Hey Footballplaya, Think you can find a Beretta 390 20ga. in the back room?
