Camping World Syracuse - Not Too Good

First off let me say I'm normally a pretty mellow guy who doesn't complain much, but yesterday afternoon was pretty inexcusable.

I am currently doing a trailer rehab and needed a few items. I was headed to Syracuse and figured Camping World would have what I needed in stock. They had some of it, not all, and it sure looks like they're really cutting back on inventory. Unfortunately that seems to be business today - that part I understand. The prices at the store were quite a bit higher than those on the internet, but I didn't want to wait for shipping.

But wait I did...

After gathering up my stuff I headed to the register. There was no one was there so I headed back to the service counter, as it's located in the center of the store. I asked if I could check out there - nope, I had to check out up front. I looked around a few more minutes hoping to find some other stuff on my list before headed back up front. Still no one there.

According to my watch I waited at the register for about 4 minutes. In that time no less than 5 people walked by me, each one ignoring me as well as the next. There were 3-4 salespeople within 10 feet of the register, none with customers, none willing to step out of their cubicle and help. There were 2 young ladies at the reception desk, about 15 feet away, both deeply buried in their cell phones. There were 3 people just outside a side door, appearing to be on a smoke break.

Being on a schedule myself, I was done waiting. I simply put my stuff on the counter by the register and walked out. Not one person even seemed to notice. Needless to say I won't be heading back to Camping World Syracuse any time soon.
