Another Evil Store

We were passing through Bellingham, Wa on on our way back from visiting
freinds in Victoria, BC last weekend and stopped at the Grizzly
showroom. It's almost as evil as Cabela's which we have locally for
getting in to trouble.:>) We didn't make it to the Lee Valley store in
Victoria which was probalby a good thing. Maybe next visit. Jim

I work a couple of shifts a week for Cabela's here. Great toy store,
and our customers are fantastic. Pity that management thinks so little
of their staff that they barely pay more than 7-11. Turnover here is
somewhere around 50% annually.

Most of the current staff here are looking for other work.

The only thing that keeps me there right now is our customers. I get
great hunting and fishing tips from them, and most are a delight to
talk to.

That's the problem it's a great toy store and so is Grizzly and Lee
Valley. Just too much fun stuff and one can't have it all. One has to
make hard choices and keep adding to ones wish list. :>) Jim
