Blains Farm & Fleet really is very honest company. I want to make clarifications about what first was wrote. They do treat workers very fairly but they do push the credit card and warranty plans really hard on cashiers. I was not saying or implying that the warranties they sell are rip offs because they are valid purchases plus they do honor them. They are not rip offs. It is a opinion that they probably are not necessary for most items. Where the madness ends is meant for all retailer stores because they all have credit cards and extended warranty plans. and by always a female doing credit cards, all that was meant is that a female is always at the entrance doing credit cards because it is her primary job so in case you go in the store you will know it is a true statement that a female is there offering credit cards. Nothing else should be implied. and by the values I feel they once had I mean that they never seemed like the type that would offer credit cards and try to sell extra warranty. They are definitely a trustworthy company though. Hopefully no one would imply that they should not shop there. You will not regret spending your money at Blains Farm & Fleet. The products they sell are top quality

Blains Farm & Fleet really is very straight up. Some of what was written could get taken different ways so I need to make clarifications. They do treat workers very fairly but they do push the credit card and warranty plans really hard. I was not saying that the warranties they sell are rip offs because they are valid purchases and they do honor them. They are not rip offs. It is a opinion that they are probably not necessary for most items sold. Where the madness ends was meant for all retailer stores because they all have credit cards and extended warranty plans.

Hopefully no one would imply that they should not shop there. You will not regret spending at Blains Farm & Fleet. The products they sell are top quality and you cant beat their price.

being asked to buy a $50 warranty on a $40 air tank once. I didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the cashier.
I told her if the air tank "wore out" I would just buy myself another one and treat myself to a $10 lunch.
Thanks for the insight.

good, honest values are hard to come by these days. Everyone wants money now, and don't really care about the employees. Also, the Farm & Fleet in Madison is the same way. Both are now building expansions to their stores.
