Grandpa 2 sorry to hear about your bad experience at sportco.Yes you do see a lot of inventory on the floor and also above the displayed items but every time ive been there since it opened there have been stockers running around replacing items kinda like costco, my guess is that its due to the volume of merchandise and people that go thru the store on a daily basis.Ive never seen a sales person or a fisherman that wasn't a bullshi**er so yes you do have to wait, at times longer than i care to but they usually have the answers or items I'm looking for.As for management using swains or others for comparison is like comparing what it takes manage a business like costco versus a 7-eleven they don't even come close to having the inventory or number of employees. I'm not trying to argue with you (was always taught to respect my elders )but i think sportco is the best sporting-goods store in this state
