In Reply to: POLL: Rudest Dive Shops in So Calif posted by neptune on November 09, 2005 at 09:33:30:

I drove quite a ways to get my tanks VIPed and filled at a particular shop because they usually give good fills. It is a good shop generally. There are other shops very nearby, but I wanted good fills in my HP tanks. It's very inconvenient, but to make sure I get good fills, I leave my tanks and come back the next day instead of trying to get them to to do quick fills during what I have left as lunch.
So this time I even called just to make sure they were filled. I got there and they were filled, but they were all short fills. They are very courtyous there and they topped them for me, but it made me late for lunch.
There was a mis-understanding. The clerk didn't see short fills as anything more than 'it cooled off some'. I saw it as having gone to great lenghts to get good fills and they didn't bother. Very annoying.
