Sitting outside and watching the rats run out of the lodge, under the bench, and into the store... back and forth, and back and forth again...was fairly entertaining. However...

I moved to Vandemere from the Raleigh/Durham area, so I began stopping by Squidders Supply Store / Squidders Bait and Tackle + Lodge in the afternoons after work to get to know some of the locals. They serve beer, and it's literally the only place in town.

The store manager there, a duplicitous married woman from Lowland who's constantly seeking attention from other men, got to where she started casually putting her hands on me in ways that at first made me uncomfortable, and then quickly progressed to the point where I really started to feel violated. She and her elderly girlfriend... both of whom have a history of making false accusations against men... talked about "swinging" ALOT around me, but even if they were slightly attractive and much less creepy, I'm just not into that.

When I didn't return her affection... and in order to protect myself, finally stopped going to the store altogether... the store manager started spreading false rumors around about me. In an attempt to further protect myself, I texted and formally asked her not to contact me or come onto my property. She had an emotional meltdown, furiously replying with multiple hate-filled texts, all of which I ignored. When that failed to provoke me, she attempted to exact her petty revenge by officially banning me from the bar and attempting to publicly humiliate me. That also failed of course, since I had already stopped going there several weeks earlier. Not only were the owners perfectly fine with all of it, one repeatedly ignored me and another responded with "Eff you," when I attempted to bring it up. Typical.

You're unlikely to catch the real story about these events though, or any of the dozens of others, because the owners and their circle of friends have a system where they belittle their really unhappy customers, while also trying to convince them that what happened to them was actually their own fault... and also telling them they just need to grow up and get over it. If that doesn't shut them up, they've also been known to threaten them, as well as spread false rumors around about them to discredit anything they may have to say. They fight tooth & nail just to keep you from reading any honest, critical customer reviews. In fact, right now the owners of Squidders actually have Creepy Kelly, their bar manager, slinking around online pretending to be someone she's not (-Hunter R-), so that she can leave fake positive reviews on sites to trick people into thinking that Squidders is more well liked than it actually is. Seems they figure that everyone else is just too stupid to realize she's their employee. This is a highly deceptive business practice that she's been engaging in for several years now. It's not only deceptive, it's outright fraud that they are commtting against the public. That right there should tell you everything you need to know about these people. Always the scheming.demons.

That place is worse than anywhere I ever went in Raleigh or Durham. Endless drama being created by a bunch of musty ratchets, and spoiled, puffed-up children wobbling around in the bodies of geriatric adults.

Honestly, do yourself a great big favor... Stay well clear of Vandemere (aka; Sodom by the Sea), and go to New Bern, or Oriental if you want to have a nice, safe time.
