I walked into Orvis in Jackson needing waiters, new fly line, flies, and various other things. I was greeted (initially nicely) by a lady named Clairey? My wife came into the store with me because they sold dog stuff, I made the joke saying Ah, this is how you trick the wife s into coming in too eh? (Innocent joke) Clairey goes on to lecture me on how I m sexist for saying that. (I look around the fly shop, it s me and 10 other guys). I then explained well my wife doesn t fish, I wish she would though and then the lady explained how she got divorced because she could not learn how to paddle correctly from her husband.. I was already put off but to make matters worse I told her we were just coming in to check the shop out (I actually was gonna buy things initially) because we were on our way to get coffee and McDonald s. Her response? Ugh, McDonald s? Eww. And then she walked away. I left without spending a dime because of her. Never have I been lectured by a customer assistant before. The experience turned me off to this shop AND orvis. I am traveling around the states and will discourage anyone from shopping here.
