If I was Cabela's or really any store I wouldn't ever price match.....minus a few exceptions where it's a local competitor brick and mortar store retailer, they have the item in stock at the discounted sale price, the item isn't being sold below cost, has at least some margin of profit, and/or there's enough other stuff being purchased in addition to the price match item to make the overall transaction profitable for the store.
It's insane to me that retail stores like Cabela's are even still open. Walk into any one of their stores and ask yourself.....how much does it cost to heat the place in the winter, cool it in the summer? What does insurance run for the building and all the mounts, dioramas, displays, and immense liability of having a store with that much foot traffic....and that many employees? How much does their labor cost them? Not just their hourly but then payroll tax (it costs them more than a dollar to pay an employee a dollar), benefits, work comp, property tax, sales tax, accounting, tax after tax after tax....general maintenance and upkeep of the place....city water, garbage, hazardous waste pickup for batteries and shit......
How in the fukc Cabela's is still open when you have Amazon on umpteen other direct retailers where they take online orders and ship the merchandise from a warehouse without having to deal with a single customer in-person......how most retail stores are still open beats the shit out of me.... their overhead compared to "online/catalog retailers" is fukcing insane. We're not talking a small difference. We're talking overhead that's a dozen to dozens of times higher. It doesn't make sense to me.
Fugggg....just think of what security and shoplifters cost them? Think of how much inventory walks out of the store from shoplifting? Not too many shoplifters at warehouses that ship inventory and don't have walk in customers......
It's insane Cabela's is still open. Fugg....look at Gander.....large outdoor chain and a decent store.....a decent sized albeit overpriced local store where a guy could go kill an hour when bored going shopping. They couldn't make it.....have gone under three different times and that was pre-covid old world shit
