I have no reason to go to turners. I was there a month ago looking for tournament stuff and they were all sold out knowing that a huge tourney was coming up. I saw nothing there other than that to buy. I was going to buy a couple of things but I saw how slow the service was at the register and put the items back and walked out.

There are a lot of great local companies that have great service and I will take my business there.

Squidco all the way

You can't beat their prices and they are extremely helpful and friendly. I did buy a Sealine 30 from Turners last year only because Squidco was sold out and I am not the most patient person. I would certainly write or speak to the head manager at the shop and issue a complaint. Also refer him to this post and let him know about the bad publicity this A-hole has caused. There is absolutely no justification for such rudeness, especially in the fishing community. I will be certain to never shop Turner's again. There are too many other great places around SD. I hope that sales rep gets a good tongue lashing.

Same here I use to go to them before I would go out on the top gun but i stood back at the fishing counter trying to get help with a shimano baitrunner
I got so mad that I wouldn't get help I said screw it took the 30 min drive to bass pro!!

Don't want to beat a dead horse but I've been reading this post, shaking my head thinking "yep, there service has been slippin'" And getting pissed because I've been in customer service and a store manager for 30+ years. If I noticed one of my employee's ignoring or disrespecting a customer, they would be wearing their nut sack as a neck tie.

To the reason of this reply, I just got back from our beloved Turners. Just wanted some line put on a reel and I knew they had Maxima plus there two blocks from the house. Stood at the tackle counter and waited to see how long it would take for service........and waited....20 minutes later I walk out. The bone head at the register says "have a nice day". as I walk out with reel in hand. Hell, I could have palmed a couple Trinidads and nobody would have been the wiser. (not my style) So I'm getting ready to contact Turners and unleash on them, I'll let everyone know if I get a reply. Rant over, Boycott begins

Ha-Ha! "day off" that's all I needed to hear. I talk like that every Friday night. I just sent a nasty email to their customer service, can't wait for their reply. Maybe I'll get a gift card

I had a similar experience at del mar FHS on Friday... I took two of my sons (7,5) and some sales associate chewed my ass cause the boys were "touching" some lures and plastics... They were a bit excited, I admit. But the guy was a total deuche when addressing us. I simply took my business elsewhere. I will never drop a penny at turners. I'll take my business to squidco and support a local shop...
