i was at bass pro a few weeks ago they did not have a large selection of primers. More Federal in the gold and red box than anything else and no case discount .
i had fun with the sales guy.
Can i help you
"Yes, this all you have for primers"
Sadly yes. Its to bad to as CCI and winchester are running rebates and the store does not have $100 worth of any of them for customers to buy to get the rebate"
" Can I order here from the store"
you would think they would do that but they dont, rather let money walk out the door. I been working here for 3 years and thier inventory profile is f***ed in my eyes?
"Well that sucks i say playing along, i ask him if I can order and have them shipped to NH or ME"
You can try but they go by billing address
" now what about powder seems you have everything but what I need"
Yup seems the norm around here. Floor folks can tell upper management that we had 50 people asking for X and they will do nothing, maybe drop the price of whats on the shelf.
After BS with him waiting for wife to get bored looking at everything with the Kids he says.
"Well they rebates are 20% off 100 on CCI and FGMM primers are on sale at XXX and they ship to mass"
We both laughed a bit and i said thanks and he said thanks for making me look busy and i will tell my boss your another customer looking for what we dont have.
For me this par for the course of big box stores , Everything I want BUT Nothing I Need.
oh regular primers where $3.99 100 , federal match where $51/1000 that I saw. Powders overall where not to crazy $28 or so per pound average. Of course they did not have what i wanted either 2400 or 5744 the only 2 powders I buy by the pound.
