Have not been back but will go .. just to see if anything changed.


Our "other employees" are those wannabee snobs from the docks in any
marina. They dress all up like a rich boater, which they're, obviously
from having to work at West Marine for a pittance, NOT. I always wear my
sloppiest jeans, black pocket T-shirt and dirty old Adidas sneakers so I
can follow around the yachtie Sperry Topsiders, those tan "boat shorts"
with the funny patch pockets and the designer casual shirts from exotic
islands sometimes capped off by the "broker look" wide brim Panama hat.

You're truly lucky if you get the time of day, to say nothing of where
the
toilet parts are for the **** pump...(c;

Maybe I have an attitude problem not properly projected when I say, "Have
you got this valve for the head?", handing him the old one so he can see
what I'm looking for that I took out from under the plunger not 30
minutes
a go and it's still "wet"....(c;

I don't understand why they handle my Chase Business VISA and West Marine
discount card with rubber gloves at all! Don't they have heads on their
boats?? Maybe not the kind that will flush....hmmm...

Maybe if his boss got out of the way so I could get to the store head and
wash MY hands it would make a difference......

They can't jack up the prices much higher because they're aleady charging
the MSRP in the catalogs.....especially for **** pump parts where they
think they got you by the short hairs.....(c;


You're lucky. If I worked at your store and you came in dripping of ****
& crap holding out a part from an overused head...I'd reach for the
industrial sized can of Lysol and give you a good sprayin'. ;-)


This is the problem... boats are messy. Things on boats that need fixing
are messy and smelly.
and oily etc.

go into a WM and the kids looks like he has never seen a bildge. in my
case, i already know what
i want,, but try to get it..... very frustrating.

when i am driving 1 1/4 hours to go to Hamilton Marine, on Portland .. ya
got to know WM is bad.
