Re: Sign in Marina
Dennis that sign is great, I go through the same thing about towing peoples boats. They own a large offshore boat and complain about the cost to move it. This is not a sport for welfare. As you have all heard before you have to pay to play. Now most people on here are sucessful becuse theu are smart in business. And I don't blame them for trying to get the right deal. They just have to remember that in there line of work they make a profit to afford their boat and the other businesses that support the boats also need to make a profit, BUT they don't need to retire off of your boat

Re: Sign in Marina
I know what you are saying. But a sign isn't the way to handle that. It's condescending, and will end up turning away good customers instead of the bad customers in which it is intended.

Re: Sign in Marina
My first thought was that he seems to have a large number of unhappy folks for some reason - enough to warrant a sign like that. I see that as a red flag.
I prefer to do business with companies that seem cooperative when there's a problem. And this sign says the opposite.
But every business has a right to operate any way they want. Maybe he has so much business he doesn't have to worry about offering friendly service?
