You sure like to promote this store, I hope they're giving you a kick back.

i will promote any lfs if they treat me well enough. however i mostly just like to mention the fish and such i rarely see.

wayne is good me at riverfront so i do like to add any little tid bit i can.

not saying i buy all my ls at riverfront but i don not recieve the customer appreciation anywhere else. and having my business is appreciated is more important to me than saving acouple bucks. most other lfs's IMO dont really treat new costomers with the service ifell i deserve no matter how much money im there to spend. for instance i was at an lfs on 16 and was the only customer and i had a hard time geting the man working to get off the computer to help me out. not saying i wont go back but i may not be as willing buy as much from there.

I am a man of principal and that will take precidence over money anyday. (up to a point)

You wil however notice that i dont slam these LFS stores like others. i leave that up them them to form there own opinion. if pmd then yes i will say what store but until then i dont fell the need to rip on a store because of a bad experience.

I too have experienced that at certain stores, but I won't mention which ones. I usually end up walking out and not giving them my business.

I will give Big Al's one thing though, when you walked in there you were usually swarmed by sales reps fully willing to help you.

Man, I cant believe another fish store in the north. I mean honestly who even goes into the north. haha. The only reason I go to the north is to go to ocean city and now I'm going to have to make another trip to the north to check out BA. I better rock my bullet proof vest when I head down there.

I noticed they had an ad in the paper last week for staff, so must be getting close to opening. I'm hoping for some grand opening super deals
