Cabelas sucks anyway, plus their products are overpriced and can generally be purchased for less elsewhere.
They built a store ten miles from my house but it never seemed to be busy. I’m thinking it won’t be there in a year.
My last trip there...checking out at the cash register, I needed to accept or decline some sort of conservation support question on the charge card reader. I was paying cash...cash was on the counter. I refused to indicate one way or another....said I just wanted to pay for the product and leave. Cashier said I had to check one of the boxes. I told her she could check one of the boxes, but I wouldn’t. Cashier said she wasn’t allowed to. I asked for the manager. Manager said I had to check one of the boxes to complete the sale. I said I wasn’t checking a box, buying the product or ever coming back. I picked up my cash and left.
Did I mention that was my last trip to Cabelas?
My husband got a firearm coupon in the mail and bought two (very expensive guns) there last Christmas. Place and line was out of control (surly, understaffed). when my husband presented the coupon, the clerk waved him away and said it comes off the price automatically. Well, guess what- when the bill arrived, no discount! We’re talking hundreds of dollars which is why he spent a Saturday driving and hour and standing in line for hours. He called and very politely explained the situation and said he still had the coupon for them to apply a credit to his card. Girl said ‘too bad, sale is over can’t do that.’ Politely asked to speak to manager and told the story. Was told the same thing- too bad. Husband said he was cutting up his Cabella’s card and never bothering to give them business again. Was told ‘okay, bye. We have never been back.
Dude, push no, relax, and enjoy the rest of your day. Life is too short. Keep the edge for things that matter.

That is the dumbest most pedantic thing I have heard in weeks. The cash register system is automated. They don’t have a magic button to skip that. You could not press one button on a key pad? Is that some sort of brain dead ‘moral stand’? They LEGALLY can’t hit it for you and TECHNOLOGY-wise they can’t skip it. You gave them a bunch of sh*t for something they had ZERO control over and that mattered not at all.
I think that is literally the dumbest thing I have heard in weeks.
