...I wrote something about my experience at PW about this time last year (it was the day of the Chocolate Lobster Dive). The guy working was such a jerk that I didn't buy a Light Cannon I was going to get that day.
Dude just ignored us. Finally, another employee showed up and got the rental tanks we needed. When we brought the tanks back the jerk was still there, saw us waiting, and let us stand around some more while he futzed around with some old rusty spear tip.
Well, I swore I'd never go in there again, but this summer I was working right down the street from them so I ended up going in there for a new valve. I got the valve, but they were still jerks to me.
Whatever. I would never make a special trip to that store. I know that they don't appreciate the patronage. They'll probably still make a good living without my business, eh? ;)
They do have the best stocked store around that I've seen.
