As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Being from the brier patch, I had never contemplated that merchants and commerce could indeed attract a specific clientel. One would expect shoppers to be shoppers in needs from top to bottom, but they are not.
For example, TL and I shop at three different groceries as the need provides as some have better products than others, and some simply have food which does not poison me.
At the health food store, the shoppers tend to be zombie. You know the type which looks like they are vampire flower children. Then at a national chain the customers tend to smile a great deal and are friendly. The store with the cut rate prices rarely has anyone in it who is not scowling nor will look you in the eye.
I would add, I was in an Asian grocery and what appeared to be burkha veiled Indonesians or Pakistanis in charge, the Mongoloids could care less about Americans and the other clients had a death vex on Americans. One sunglass draped off his ears to his chin looking al Qaeda type looked as if he will to behead me.......he was interestingly with this rather Oprah chic, so I was pondering just how many of these whitish Muslims are getting into America under the cover of "Obamafrican" and are sleepers.
Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This though is about Cabelas and it was interesting. I found Cabelas shoppers rude, unresponsive, experts without knowledge, pushy and of four types.
Type 1 was a hell load of Chinamen. Apparently they are doing advance work for the invasion in what they are going to take over.
Type 2 is the penis head type of polo shirt low level banker with the zombie stare who look like pedophiles.
Type 3 is the Nascar redneck who strokes guns a great deal, usually has whiskers, and wears baseball cap and t shirt.
Type 4 are the skanky unattractive women, who appear built of stone encased in their own world, usually in groups, and wearing tight shorts. This group should not be seen in public for being ugly and should not be calling attention to themselves.
As for the outfitters........
We were in the store almost 2 hours and not a person helped us or asked if we needed help. I saw several flying through looking like they were a trial pointer on a 1000 yard run on birds, and then there was the duffers behind the computers or display cases who reminded me a great deal of buzzards surveying their prizes and quite content to just take a paycheck and keeping away from shoppers.
Cabelas has a fish pond with signs to not throw money in it, as it kills the fish. The fish from what I hear die in droves so money in their mouths is not exactly going to harm them. The store also has a mountain in it, in which North American big game is featured.
Apparently florescent light bleaches animal hair, as everything looked sunbleached and blonde. It is ok for the beavers as blondes are acceptable, but everything else just looked moth eaten and sickly. Seeing tennis shoe tracks in the dirt in an exhibit tends to make me less appreciative of animals in the wild, unless pumas are wearing Nike's now.
It was nice to see the critters, but honestly the new waterfowl decoys looked better than the taxidermy.
What I found is Cabelas is a store which has a great deal of people who like to think they are hunters and outdoor people, or want a foreign glimpse of the Wild West Show without Buffalo Bill, who do no buy a thing.
I felt sorry for the cashiers who were standing around doing nothing like deer in the headlights and dared not look at the rude crowd.
I could make a great deal of suggestions to corporate for Cabelas if they would pay me for my analysis. Things that their Lowes rejects which Sidney brought in after the 2008 Obama collapse to make things run for profit, but all I see is no one buying in a bad flea bit taxidermy shop.
Cabelas price gouges and is too dense to know to bring in people on a Sportsman's Guide type cheap section to bring in some sales at least, and those people will then venture out to buy some of their rip off stuff which costs them a few bucks from Asia and then is upped to mucho bucks.
What Cabelas needs is two big ass buffalo as you come inside the store to impress people and let people touch the things. Do not tell me that there is not synthetic looking fur that could be utilized to wow the folks.
Their sales staff does not desire to work, as the 'psychological employment form" which they weed people out with, provides only worthless types who are part coyote and vulture........the coyotes find ways to scurry away to not work and the vultures think their display case is their own carrion pile in a weird sort of validation.
They have to have a cheap section beyond the bargain cave. In our two hour trial I saw only two fishing rods leave the store.
I was so off put by the skanks and pedophile looking clientele that I doubt I would ever go back. I had stopped shopping at Cabelas as I could find like goods at much cheaper prices. I am no fan of Walmart, but when they sell a felt lined blue jean for 20 bucks and Cabelas or LL Bean gouges people for 60 bucks, that is bogus. I will not pay extra to look at skanks and pedophiles or bleached out taxidermy.
What bothers me is the shiftlessness of this conglomerate. In the exhibits, there were not skunk, opossum, mink, muskrat, raccoon, field mice or a variety of grouse and quail, to enhance things. Yes some runty bears are impressive to those who do not know they are runty bears, but the lack of detail means the entire corporation is not much different from the 25 cheap fishing lures for 25 cents of the 1960's which is what built Cabelas in scamming trusting little youths of their Church collection plate money.
The one positive was they had guns on display you could play with, but the rest of the merchandise just seemed camouflaged and disappeared from view, and what one did see had such high prices on it, that the sticker shock kept the herd of zombie just drifting along like hoofed game before the storm.
I realize that Cabela's clientele is the rich niche of idiot pricks who think they know everything about the outdoors. You know like the Texas waddie in True Grit who was on the trail and drank water from a horse footie print. The Cabelas shoppers are all that way too in being the always experts in having once eaten a deer steak that was cooked a minute too long.
I do not see how Cabelas will survive as the stores are but a circus act in which the outfitters are like the wildlife and the shoppers are all like razorback hogs in having escaped civilization and are no longer something people care to be around.
It must be mail order that runs that show, as they have cut all the hunters with dreams who desired to work there by employing flaps and tankers on early retirement from the military on part time to save money on Obamacare, but what good are idiot outfitters who pass pansy tests when they will not sell anything.
I heard a story that out of a herd of applicants which passed the pansy test, only one person actually had experience with the outdoors, the rest of the males were Nintendo and golf players. Yes that is just what you want to be a representative in a store, some video game dork who knows nothing of the difference between shotgun shells and goose shells.
I guess I did put a list of things Cabelas could work on, but you know how the rich are, in not paying up as they do no donate here. It is like the used 22 on "sale" which was marked at full retailer price inside Cabelas. Now that was a great deal for the corporate types raking in the big salaries.
I honestly do not think this chain could be managed any worse than if the Obama regime was trying to turn people off to the outdoors. Two Afroid shoppers though were in the gun section........looking at pistols. I guess after Ferguson Missouri, the smart black terrorist is arming themselves to shoot white cops, and Cabelas is now an outlet for that market share. I presume though it takes some time to trade in welfare money and there is that competing market for Cabelas of stolen guns on the street.
Any case, that is Cabelas, a place that is nothing of the great outdoors, Americans or what is serenity and exhilaration of a Teddy Roosevelt story.
It is an experience I suspect that thousands of others will not repeat, and are telling thousands of others more normal people, and that is why the Cabela's groupie is such a horde there offending everyone.
