Cabela's bait and switch

Annoyed, I am. Cabela's on their web pages ran (even yesterday) some SW AR-15s. I had a coupon also and points, so off I go. It's a 70 ish mile drive.

Yes, I am stupid for not calling first.

Get there and there are none. Oh, can you get one? - I sez?

Here's the kicker - there are only about 4 of them in the whole Cabela's system for the country. SO WHY ADVERTISE THEM?

Oh, it's a special as SW is discontinuing them. But they may send us a whole truck load - we don't know.

So order me one - no, we don't do rain checks.

But we can get you into another platform.

So, I e-mail customer service.

We are sorry, our ads are printed out weeks before (It's on your WEB page).

I regard this as shady practice. Doing a nation wide ad for something you don't have a chance of getting is not right.

They've been crappy before. Their cargo pants fall apart very quickly - and they won't back them up.

Bah.
