starting to wonder if its just me or are the staff here just rude and not helpful. been there a couple of times and the staff are more interested in talking to each other or they turn the other way when you start to look in there area. I thought it's cause i'm an ugly so n so but they did it the other day to the wife too even their head office doesn't care or is it just my imagination

seems to be the general consensus. love getting ignored by staff when i'm trying to get a price on something because they don't put prices on most of their products due to them being outrageously over-priced.

i'd recommend a boycott and shopping at the fishing hole and/or online instead.

Yup that's wholesale sports for ya. I was in there for a hour the other day and when I walked in I passed the optics section and two guys standing by the sleeping bags talked the whole time to one other and didn't even say hi to anypne walking by

I quit going there, prices are too hig, staff that treat you like you have an infectious disease and no bait pretty much made up my mind. I hear Cabela's is coming into Saskatoon. that should pretty much shut that place down.

the hole is much better than wholesale but it still has some issues...

Wholesale sports has the rudest staff I have ever seen. Only way I would go back there is if there is a HUGE sale or if I can't find what I need anywhere else. Even then I would be more likely to go online to find what I need.

I won't waste my time and very limited patience on Wholesale. Fishing hole much better now that I have a couple of the staff straightened out!!

its funny was on hunting website in the states and they don't think much of whlse either i can't believe with all the negative comments, that united farmers of alberta who own it don't give a crap whlse head office do not bother to reply to complaints will keep going to fishing hole have better service most of the time

Love the fishing hole..eric n the guys r great..went to wholesale n they are to tied up in there own little worlds.

There is one guy in Saskatoon in the fishing electronics section that is great. He is younger and stutters a bit but knows his stuff because he fishes lots and knows the lakes where people go. The other yahoos there just chat, text or go in the back when you try to find them. What do you expect when you hire teenage girls for a hunting/fishing store, probably all PETA lovers. As for the fishing hole, they are friendly and willing to help but their stock is never updated and the shelves are empty.

Gotta Say I Was in the fishing Hole this weekend with full intentions of walking out with a new Fish Finder or Flasher and got such crappy service from some Grumpy old man I walked out with nothing. Also agree the shelves were Kinda bare save a full wall of rapellas. All in all got the attitude I was interupting thier coffee break. I Manage a retail store in the Fort and if any of my staff acted this way to customers they would be gone.
Just my opinions and you know what they say about opinions. ! Everyones got one

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 16, 2011, 07:55 PM »

out of both stores i could never say that the fishing hole has better service than wholesale, both are the pits if you ask me, i have actually had good service a couple tines at wholesale, cant say the same for the fishing hole, lots of people standing around doing a lot of nothing.

Those empty shelves are why i make a trip to a Cabela's or a Bass pro and stock up, was in wholesale and the fishing hole last week and the stock was pretty depleted. I understand inventory management but they seem to be taking it to another level.

I buy most of my gear in the states or order it online. I'm a big fan of supporting sask businesses but if they won't make any effort or show any interest in getting my business I will go somewhere where I can get it cheaper. I don't mind paying a bit extra to support local business but in my opinion they have to work for it.

i was at wholesale sports in saskatoon this past weekend i was looking at reels for about 15 minutes-the two workers in this section were five feet from me and never asked if i needed help-so i went to the fishin hole and bought a reel there where i was helped almost immediately. tfn will get my business in the future.

altnt · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 17, 2011, 07:21 AM »

i was in there last week and the young fella mentioned earlier came right up to me helped me find what i was looking for, pointed out what was on sale i was happy. But there was a couple guy looking at ice shacks pretty ticked that they couldn't get any help. i told them to get " that guy " , when i left they were loading up a shack. problem is it takes more than one good employee to run a store that size.

I have found that the fishing hole's service has improved a lot over the past couple of years. Can't say the same for Wholesale Sports.

wolfman17 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 17, 2011, 11:08 AM »

My experience's at Fishin' Hole...you barely get through the door and they are talking to you already. Eric is great there...always helpful.

Malayney11 · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 17, 2011, 09:42 PM »

The staff at the fishin hole are always very helpful and they all ways have the bait im looking for in stock, I have many of the same complaints as the rest of you about wholesale, always out of bait, and never any help at all, keep up the good work fishin hole!

fishinhard · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 20, 2011, 08:14 PM »

I have had nothing but poor service at wholesale. No use detailing it, if you have been there you know!
