Thumbs up

Fair enough. That's why I had mentioned that I would go back to check it out again, plus give the impression that I had back then with the hopes that things have changed. I may have only been on here for the past while but have be chatting with a lot of people in the last few months to a year before getting back into the hobby. Some people have mentioned to me that things are the same and have still heard similar views of the service experience there. I have nothing against the store it self only my experience there in the past. I had hoped to spark some different opinions on this and thanks for your input. If everything has improved thats great, we can use as many good quality stores as possible. I always give people second and third chances but the reality was these were my experiences back then and I hope you are right that things have changed. I will definitely go check it out again as he did have amazing stock. Thanks! Love to here more.

I've been a customer of Wai's for more than 15 years and have never seen him smoking.
Nice try though.

I always have a nice visit with him while I'm there.

Default Wais

I have not been in Wai's for over a year but the last time I was there I witnessed him smoking inside sitting in front of his computer, he might have quit now but I can confirmed that he did smoke at one point in time. As to the service, Wai's has the best corals/fish hands down, his tanks are always full and his corals are beautiful but his demeanor does not make you feel welcome he is more into his computer then his customers.

I completely Agree the livestock he has is great. Just be aware of how long it has been then. Yeah seems odd that every time I have gone there he was smoking also usually while your paying at the till. Either way this is supposed to just give people a heads up about places. That's all. I am not making things up. Just reality and facts about what I have seen and how I feel when there. Cheers folks.

Eh? Danny used to smoke at his desk... I always thought it was part of the charm of the store. He was like the reefing version of Uncle Benny, lol...

If he did smoke, I don't remember it.
I was there for the corals.
His store, he can smoke if he wants.
If I worked in retail, I'd have a big bottle of booze in the back.
- for the whole 5 minutes I would last working in retail....

Hasn't it been illegal to smoke in any business for 8 years? There's good and bad in all the fish stores here. He has the best SPS selection and chemicals, but he is known to give the cold shoulder now and again. And I guess it's a full on hookah bar when I'm not there

I have noticed when I got there as well that he does give the cold shoulder when I'm there but I do kinda like how you don't have someone breathing down your neck when your roaming around , but then again I'm one of those people going in not knowing what I want ever lol . And it's a little hard not to be thrown away when you see his tanks
