SHAME ON YOU BASS PRO SPRINGFIELD.
SHAME ON YOU BASS PRO SPRINGFIELD.
I have lived in Springfield Missouri for the past 25+ years. Last year my wife and I decided to become full-time RVrs and travel this great country. During all of our travels we have frequently stayed the night at Bass Pro Shops due to the safety and warmth of the staff. We are constantly asked where we're from and we tell them Springfield which brings up how great our Bass Pro store is and the awesome world's of wildlife museum. We came back to Springfield last night after driving NINE HOURS from Mississippi to spend the summer in the ozarks. When we got here at 11:15 PM we decided to stay in the parking lot at our favorite store... Bass Pro. After quietly parking at an out of the way spot we started to eat dinner after a very long day. Then a staff member named "Dwight" knocked on our door and told us that we were not allowed to stay there and needed to pack up and leave. WAIT... WHAT? We politely told him that we had stayed several times in the same place in the past and our friends had done the same. Dwight told us that regardless of this... we had to go. He also stated that if we refused he would have to call an officer. So after coming to realize that we were NOT WELCOME at a company that specializes at outdoor lifestyles.. we packed up and left at 11:30PM to find somewhere to stay. After all these years shopping there and spending countless dollars... it feels like we've been betrayed by the illusion of hospitality. WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS STORE AGAIN. SHAME ON YOU BASS PRO SPRINGFIELD.
