Shipton's Big R Sheridan

I don't think we've ever had a horrible experience such as the one we experienced at Shipton's a couple days ago. We had just lost a family member that day & were trying to lift up our spirits by stopping in at Shipton's on our way home for our college student to buy a rope for her upcoming rodeo event. We send our girls in 2's to the bathroom because of the whole sex trafficking issue that is plaguing our country. So as usual, our girls went to the bathroom together. Just then one of the managers banged on the door, the girls thought it was someone playing a trick on them but opened the door to a man who in their words, "puffed up his chest and got on his walkie-talkie reporting to someone that 'Two girls just walked out of the bathroom"" He treated them horribly as if they had stolen something and said some other things under his breath. They wanted to get away from him as fast as they could and immediately didn't feel safe around the man with his obvious unwarranted anger toward them. They proceeded to go and buy the rope we came in to purchase and did so, I'm sure with watchful eyes on them as this man was reporting to other employees that they suspiciously came out of the bathroom together. They were basically treated as criminals, as thieves. When they informed me, their parent, I was obviously upset. We come from a respected family and have instilled honesty and integrity in our children. It is insulting to just assume 2 girls going in the bathroom at the same time are up to criminal activity. I asked the man for his explanation of why he treated our girls the way he did, he defended the way he treated our girls saying he had every right to wonder if people who go by 2's in their bathrooms are in his words "doing drugs" or stealing? I told him girls/ women go in groups all the time. He spoke very condescendingly to me the entire time and not one other employee who witnessed his behavior said anything. I will never again take my business there. Mothers and fathers will understand why in this day & age, we never send our children alone very many places anymore. There are too many real criminals out there that we are trying to keep our children safe from. Not everyone traveling to the bathroom in groups are attempting to do drugs or steal, we are simply trying to remain safe. If the manager would have apologized for treating our children like thieves, or treating them as guilty until proven innocent, we would have gladly reconciled the situation right then and there, but he continued with his condescending tone saying again and again that he "did nothing wrong". Parents beware. You just might have your straight A student/valedictorian treated as the next criminal/drug addict down the street.

No thank you they don't stand behind there products purchased 2 pars of Wrangler pants one busted open first week. I told them and tried to return No returns unless it can be resold which is BS if there is an issue with a tool they will take it back a month and a half the second pair busted open. I don't have cash just laying around when I buy something I expect it to function and not break

A wonderful staff and manager. The manager Sam was extremely helpful and was working on the floor side by side with everyone. He was mot only happy to help but more then willing to order the item i was looking for that had just sold out, unfortunately im heading out of town for a long trip so no luck. The employees are well placed and know their departments well. The animal health department is usually stocked for my needs when i need it and when not they will order it for you. The sporting goods department is always competitively price and usually has a few new to market gadgets that are perfect for a backpacker, camper or glamper from this region. This is one of my favorite stores in sheridan i always stop in even if im not buying that day.

I was in the sheridan store and was unimpressed by the amount of people that were touching and holding the baby chicks. They weren't getting them for customers they were just playing with them. As a animal science specialist for a farm and ranch store and deal with the baby chicks I know that holding to much will kill them. I know that the chicks are cute but it saddens me to see this.

Shipton's has an assortment of everything, from baby chicks and ducks in the Spring, to gardening and year round products. The staff are helpful.
