I've been buying there for over 10 years and have never experienced this from anyone there. If it truly happened, that sucks!

Just stumbled over this.....that's too bad wakemaker, I guess it happens when a store gets too "Corporate" I've only been out there a few times and it seemed like a big supermarket to me. Not very personal, but OK.
Out here we have few choices and they are invariably high priced....but I was shopping at the local shop - del Amo, last night with my wife. We were looking to get her some warm riding gloves and a couple of birthday gifts for a party this weekend. One of the gifts was a sweatshirt that had a $48 price sticker on it, but it was on the security tag and clearly not for that item - it was for some camo thing.
Anyway the real price was $75! For a sweatshirt!
The guy was so cool about it (I just dropped a few bills on parts and stuff) he rang it up at the lower price, said,"Hey, you wouldn't have picked it out and brought it up here if you thought it was $75.
And, we got a 10% discount on the whole purchase plus 40 points on a loyal customer card. 
On the way out, the guy who sold me a bike for my daughter came running after us to ask how she was doing.
One thing you don't get with the big discount shops. 
It's a fact of Life:
After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

Shop From Hell, er....Chapparal is huge, but I've bought 6 different things from them over the last 5 years, from the same salesman, Joel. He is a great guy who has not forgotten who I was from the first purchase I made there. I've also dealt with the same two finance persons for all of my purchases. For the first timer it can be quite intimidating, but if you get to know people ther, it can be quite pleasant. One thing for sure, if they don't have it, it most likely doesn't exist!

In highland that is your local shop,Unfortunatley this did happen and it sucks because I loved that place, If your local shop doesn't have it they can get it just as fast they all use Tucker Rocky or Parts Unlimited.
Have I passed you on the river?

Here is a link to our last experience at Chapparral
chapparral customer service
We found a great place for parts/clothing/gear in Temecula. I don't know the name of it, but you can see it from the freeway. It's right next to Bootbarn off the Winchester exit. If anyone needs more directions, just let me know. They also have service. Temecula MS is good, but they didn't have many clothes or gifts.

Living sexy is more normal wouldn't you think? Â  Â  |
Oh, you know I do that 
Also, the bike we got wasn't a loss leader. We just walked in and picked it out. They had 20 of them, same exact thing. Bottom line is they mark their crap way up, and you can take it or leave it. And you'd better use their card to pay for it, or it will cost extra, since they're not going to make the money on the financing. At least that's the way it was 2.5 years ago.
