Well I went down to replace a slug of stuff $6000 worth, that was stolen outta the boat over the 4th of July weekend.
Upon entering, I asked for Paul, (Marander) who I have dealt with for going on 10-15 years, and who I always deal with for larger purchases, $5000 in the pocket today. I was told he was no longer with Outdoor Emporium, and hadn't been for about 3 weeks. I got the distinct impression that it was not a resignation.
Paul has been my contact at outdoor for I don't know how long now, before they had a gun department, when they were still a tiny store with the knife counter in the middle. That long ago, I had a poor customer service experience in there. And if not for Paul, and his great attitude and customer service I would never have returned. I am a pretty frequent customer, 30K+ in the last 3 or for years. And the reason for that is Paul.
Well I wish Paul luck, in his endeavors. On the plus side for the first time since 2005 I walked outta the store with the same $5000 I walked in with.
This has really bummed me out, and unfortunately it will effect where I shop.
