complete anglers melbourne rant
this is more of a rant than an actual review but I felt so salty after shopping there it actually made me want to rant it somewhere
I went to buy some leader and squid jigs for this weekend and I thought complete anglers would be a pretty good choice since I have been there a couple of times and the service was great. so I head down there, was greeted and got some advice on what leader would be good. then the problem occurred. I was looking at some squid jigs and walking around only to be accused of stealing on of their jigs. Probably should have just walked away at this point but I got what I wanted and bought my stuff only to have my bag checked again. The way he treated me was just unprofessional and didn't even owe me an apology for a accusing me. The guy probably still thinks I stole something.
tl;dr I was accused of stealing and I was angry

Yeah I hate that, it has happened to me not at ca but elsewhere! We must just have one of those "this guy is up to something" faces

Re: complete anglers melbourne rant
Until you walk out of store can not be classed as stealing.
How did they exacly go thru ur bag ?
Thought they can only look in it ,if you open it.
Id go back with your docket n speak to owner manGement

Re: complete anglers melbourne rant
I agree that it is wrong to be accused of doing something that you did not do.
However, I suspect that they may had a surge in shop lifting, One of my Uncles owns a Auto spare parts business, and often they don't find out stock is missing until they do stock take. People will even put empty boxes back.
I was in a tackle store today and he track my every movement as I browsed.

Re: complete anglers melbourne rant
well so the guy basically came up to me and said give me the line and the squid jig that i was magically holding somewhere.
so i was a bit salty already of being accused in the first place because this wasn't like the Big W can i check your bag but i know your hiding something kind of check your bag.
so he just asked for my bag he went through my belongs and said nothing more
