To the Sporting Goods Manager at Walmart...
10/11/2010 at 9:29 PM
I had the great pleasure of browsing the sporting goods department at Wal-Mart Saturday afternoon while I was in Brandon. I was looking for golf tees, and through the excursion, walked by a 3 foot endcap facing the grocery section. On this endcap was STRICTLY Saskatchewan Roughrider merchandise. Now being a Sask resident, its a common sight to see for myself. However, being I am a Bombers fan, I just had to ask myself "they have Riders...where's the Bomber stuff?"
Well to make a long story short, I asked someone in toys, sports, and customer service, and got three answers:
"look in sporting goods"
"we dont sell CFL merchandise"
"i don't know"
My question is not why I got such uneducated answers, but WHERE IS THE BOMBERS STUFF!?!?!?
Given the stories recently in the papers and online about the Bombers wanting to fan out into rural Manitoba, it strikes me odd that a store located in Manitoba sells NOTHING of the home team, but EVERYTHING of the rival team.
