Hats off to Ken!! For him to chime in shows that he is dedicated to the level of his customer service. Its also hard for Ken to watch the store 24/7 as most of us that know Ken personally that this is not his regular day job so to speak. I have never had any issues with any of the staff ever and we will miss you Shannon but if I did have issues with a staff they would be the first to know it as I can get somewhat vocal and dont really care if I offend or tick some one off .

Its hard these days to find good employees, everyone just want's the $$$ and most people don't really like there jobs, lord knows I hate mine sometimes & my boss can be a real dick ( hey wait I am my own boss )

I cant wait to see what Ken does if he was to relocate, I see some nice changes could be in the works.

As for the odd dead livestock, depending on the time of day, and the location of the issue. All stores have this issue, so this isn't because Shannon is gone. just overlooked.

As for the rude staff member, I WILL deal with this immediately as this is NOT acceptable. As for that comment, that will be brought up also.

BTW Nick, you mentioned it to me once, and I made no excuses, I told you I would talk to her about it.

My personal apologies to anyone,

Ken
I know I go there when I'm up there in the winter for my Army Hockey Nationals and I always stop in and tak with Shannon and buy 4 pails of salt its like a tradition with me and her. Yes she will be missed. the younger fella who works there he's pretty cool for a young guy quite the ham excellent person to do with ..
I know i alway miss you Ken you are either out of town or not there. some day we will meet up.

I know the girl everyone is talking about, and she can be umm pre occupied.

My biggest gripe is there is never anything new in the store. Dead/dyeing corals in the back tanks, the same mediocre fish, if there are many fish at all.

The only time BWA is worth going is around frag fest, seems to be the only time the tanks look good and have things worth buying.

Gf is telling me I am being an *******. Not my intention.

I'm sure we could all gripe and grone about lfs. All have good and bad. Personally I like blue world. The service was always top notch.

The key with blue world is getting there on the days when new stock comes in ,I find.

Prices are good and he often has some cool stuff in. However if you come in a few days later ,all the cool stuff worth seeing is already sold.

I had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with Shannon in July of this year. Sorry to hear she's gone. Don't know about the other girl that works there as I don't frequent Blue World a whole lot because of the distance. I'm sure Ken will deal with it accordingly.
