I'm really sorry that so many of you have had bad experiences with west
marine. I'm probably going to get my lashes by mentioning this, but I'm
going to. I work for west marine. It upsets me when I walk into a west
marine store that I don't work at and don't get any help or lack of
information. It upsets me when their are those working there just for a
job and don't own or know anything about boating. A lot of people know
more about their own type of boating. Diversity is the answer in that.
The company does try to teach us different aspects of boating, but if
you aren't self motivated to do it, then it doesn't help.

Again, I'm sorry that so many of
you have had bad experiences with the stores. When you do please let us
know so that we may fix our mistakes. If we don't know, we won't
change. To end: I would please ask you not chastise me too much for
working for the "man".

Bill, thanks for the clarification. You are an asset to "the man"

It's a shame all employees for West Marine (or Guitar Center )
don't have your atitude.
