I don't know if I ever told my tale of Cabela's insanity. I was with a friend one spring weekend morning and said I wanted to go to Cabela's in Hudson to buy a rifle and said come along and we can go have lunch and go shopping afterwards. There was one small problem that I never gave any thought to. The pants I was wearing didn't have any pockets so I asked my friend if she could hold my cash for me while we're shopping. So I go into Cabela's, find something I wanted (a Henry), go to the special firearms checkout kiosk, enter in all of my information and then get to the special checkout line for firearms and this is where everything went sideways. I asked my friend to give me my cash to pay for the rifle. The checkout clerk immediately looks at me quizzically and nice and loud throws up her arms and says "I have a customer making a straw purchase and I am not going to finish this sale". I tried to tell the nutbag employee behind the counter "I don't have any pockets on my pants, what am I supposed to do walk around with cash in my hands?". Eventually the store management gets involved and hatched their plan. They made my friend walk out of the store and into the parking lot, whereupon she could walk back into the store. She was actually escorted by store security while all of this was going on. Once she was back in the store she stood in line in a regular checkout aisle where should could buy a Cabela's gift card to purchase the rifle. After checkout out she brought me the gift card and I used that to pay for the rifle. Needless to say I have never been back to Cabela's since that time and when I want something outdoorsy like camping gear I just buy it off of Amazon, no questions asked. The store had the rifle packed back up like I was heading off to the arctic. They insisted on putting on their own trigger lock, the cable lock through the action and approximately 1,000,000 layers of tape around the box to discourage me from going off on a lever action shoot fest or something. The whole thing was so much aggravation I decided that Cabela's is not worth giving them any business. Cabela's/Bass Pro then can suck it, I'm not giving them a penny.
