Sounds smug to me. It would turn me off as a customer.

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

Not me...There are some real pricks running around on these boats with a huge entitlement mentality. I have little tolerance for whining rich windbags.

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.

if someone does not realize that it is in fun they should take a qualude

it won't bother the good customers, it will only bother the ones that it offends and i think that is the point... :D

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?

:rolleyes:

I'm a very laid back person, and I've never had a problem with any of the people i've done business with in the boating community(which is rare in itself). But like BK said, it sends up a red flag. If i walked into a car dealership and saw that sign, I'd turn around immediately. Why should a marina be any different?

If my saying that makes you think I'm stuck up or that I'm a pain in the a$$ customer, I welcome you to try and find anyone who has met me or who I've done business with that verify your assessment. You won't find them. I was just being honest.

i'm quite sure the sign is a joke with a hint of reality..it's similar to the ones that say if you want credit go see Helen Wait...spelled Hell en wait...:rolleyes:

BK 12-20-2005 01:36 PM

Re: Sign in Marina
 
I guess it would be like going to the doctors office and seeing signs like:

If you can't afford my bill, then don't get sick.

Pain is part of it - Stop being a baby

:D A doc with sense of humor. Ha ha. :evilb:


Of course, there will be a few folks who won't like the abrasive comments, obviously. But I know others who will think it's hilarious. :p

I find it funny.....Like the signs that quote Labor rates...If you watch...If you help...

Re: Sign in Marina
 
The sign its both ways with me. Of course I understand you have to pay to lay and that all boats are expensive. But the sign also displays a hardazz attitude. But then again if you have a 300K boat, don't whine about a 300 dollar part.

I might say the sign is as confusing as I am. :D

I do everything myself! :D

Re: Sign in Marina
 
I wouldnt have a warm and fuzzy feeling walking in and seeing that sign.......I have a business of my own and agree it shows a certain hardazz mentality IMO............you sure that sign isnt out front of IMCO :snide:

I need one something like that. My office is all about customer service and we will do whatever we can to help somebody BUT when I get asked to cut my fees I politely tell them no and that I will be happy to cancel my file if they would like me to. All but 2 of my fees are regulated by the department of insurance so those that are regulated should be the same no matter what title company you go to. The only two fees that I get to set are the closing fee ($150) and the title exam ($150). So when the customer who is buying the $200,000 plus house and is paying a bank/broker $2000-$5000 in fees asks me to cut my $300 .. well it doesnt make me happy. :mad:
