AS OPPOSED TO WALMART STORES AND BASS PRO SHOPS....WEST MARINE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND HOW TO PROPERLY TREAT CUSTOMERS. WEST MARINE IS WELL RUN, WELL-MANAGED AND JUST A GOOD RETAIL STORE. THOUGH I AM NOT GETTING PAID TO SAY THIS....I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE THAT NORMALLY SHOPS AT BASS PRO AND OTHER MARINE STORES.......GO TO WEST MARINE.
