he didnt mean to imply all people at bass pro are retards...just that particular individual apparently.

You prolly better not threaten a bad experiance anyway , if someone higher up would see what your saying , you may be in a bit of trouble yourself. Im just saying , be carefull.

i wasn't threatning anyone. I was simply telling him to enjoy his next trip to Bass Pro. I have no idea who Embry is and wouldn't know him if he walked up and hi. I don't appreciate adults who act like kids. If you get bad advice let us or some one know so we can fix the problem, because as a floor supervisor the last thing I want is for my associates to be giving out wrong, misleading, or bad information. However calling the associate is "a retard" is very degradeing eespecially to someone with a mentally challenged child. That was my whole point was to watch what you say in regards to people because you don't know who might take an "innocent" comment the wrong way. If that is taken as a threat then so be it but I have a child with a mental issue and seeing anyone called a retard especially people that I work with will bother me to a degree.

yeah...this thread went SOUTH (pardon the pun) in a hurry. So...if I were to get bad advice re: the fall turnover, I am to find a supervisor, tell him what the moron said to me, and have him repremanded for such behaviour? HMMMMM! I did that once when Galyan's was in business, AFTER an associate had advised a first time bowhunter to use a bow that was 4" too short for him, while selling him OVER $100.00 worth of carbon arrows and broadheads and was told to mind my own business! POINT IS: hiring practices have to change! These big box stores will hire guys who know absolutely nothing in their respective departments, or give ill advice, finding it humorous. GRRRRRRRR!! My .02

That is very true in most instances. With the guys that work with me I will not tolerate giving out bad information. I tell them to treat the customer as if they were talking to their fishing buddy. If we are constantly giving out bad advice it does no good all the way around. If I offended anyone I whole heartedly appologize. My whole point was to consider that you don't know what can be said that may offend others. If you ever shop at Bass Pro and get bad advice or bad information please feel free to let us know and we will address the issue. Again for my part I appologize, I just ask that others watch name calling because as I said before you never know who is on these posts.

Dude.......he didn't say some GREEN SHIRTED moron at BPS is a RETARD..........take a pill......He could have been talking about anyone.

An employee, ME, someone in line shooting the crap........LOTS of people..........Now if YOU told him that.......well that is a different story.....I don't think so because I've met you , and talked to you about a BILLION times........

I do know when this stuff started the lake had NOT turned over.......it might be getting close now.......

For a lake to turn over, the temp needs to change QUICKLY and drastically......

AND after it finally does turn over.......it is NOT turning over again. Not unless we get a week of 90-100 degree weather in December.

Later,

Geo...you may find it hard to believe, but Patoka started turning over in late September. It sounds crazy, but I saw the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers data with my own eyes. Here is the latest from them:

This is dated November 1st, a month ago. Take a look at the temperature data. The lake only varied by 1 degree F from 0 to 50 feet depth. That is post-turnover if I ever saw it.

I agree that turnover usually happens at much lower temperatures, but something was different this year. I don't know why it happened, but it happened.

[Embrey]

ah, then that makes 3 turnovers this year!

[nofearengineer]

I ate three turnovers yesterday for Thanksgiving.

so, i should have grabbed him and took him to the counter and said "hey, this guy doesnt know anything"??? give me a break. i just paid him no attention and bought what i came to get, which was not what he said should work right now...lol
