Cabelas Strikes Again

I go there over lunch on a holiday season Friday and its busy. (today) I shop for about 20 min for gift ideas and end up with 3 items, including a birthday present for a friend only to find there are only two checkout lanes open and a line that wrapped halfway back to the entrance. I just placed my items on the customer service counter and left. I simply didn’t have time for their payment process. I don’t get what they are trying to accomplish with that store.

Can’t say I blame you for not wanting to wait half an hour to buy something. I wouldn’t

I don’t blame you. They have been going downhill as far as customer service and quality of goods for a while now. Not sure if the BPS purchase was the reason or not.

For me, Scheels has taken over for what Cabela’s once was.

It’s kind of sad to go into the Woodbury (MN) Cabela’s and the ice fishing section is regulated to the old Bargain Cave with an adjacent corner area outside the cave where shelters are on display. Kinda makes the hobby feel insignificant.

It is the norm at many stores not just Cabelas. I was at Kohls last week. 3 checkouts open out of 4. I was #13 in line to check out.
This morning a 20 minute wait at Walmart to check out. Half of the self checkouts shut down.
I don’t understand shutting down self checkouts.

I would love to have Scheels closer but my wallet wouldn’t.

Fleet in Alexandria is about the same. Last Saturday morning, there was two lanes open and they kept telling the ones in the back of the line to go to the service counter. I was in line for 10 minutes for 2 items.
The Walmart was just as bad.

Unfortunately, they don’t care that you you walked out either, leave a bad review, that might help.

2nd that brandyman about Alex!!

self checkouts

I don’t get no discount going thru them, nor am I getting paid to do their friggin job.

Mayhaps they should pay a bit more!
