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


Larry,

Perhaps I don't understand something. It appears that you can't stand WM,
yet it also appears that you shop there. Why? If you can get much better
deals elsewhere, why don't you take your money to those other stores?
You'd be much more credible if you put your money where your mouth instead
of just shooting your mouth off.
