MikeFerrara:If a business wants to require an employee to own their own tools I guess that's ok. They might even be able to pull off requireing specific tools. The employee decides if the job is worth it or not and takes it or leaves it.
However, DM's aren't usually paid employees while assisting with training at inland shops. Also you're only talking about taking a class and aren't negotiating employment on any level.
gj62:Call SSI first - (970) 482-0883 - they've always been great to me when I call (but I've never called to complain about a dealer).
Small claims court is a hassle (I don't know how you value your time), plus, even if you win it could be hard to collect, depending on how above-board the shop is...
Definitely report them to the BBB too.
pt40fathoms:If you were having a problem with the PADI shop, this thread would have had 3 times the responses. They would all be slamming PADI and pointing to this as another example of why PADI is so bad, money hungry, have bad standards, blah blah blah. At times it's seems like this board should be renamed "Anti-PADI Board".
Genesis:Yeah, that's a good one too, and it can be EXTREMELY effective.
Just be sure you never want to do anything with them again, 'cause you'll probably be arrested if you show up at their door for trespassing after doing that
I would recommend the high road on this. Do not lower yourself to their level.JPBECK:You should make them wait for their books for as long as you waited for you refond check!
Oh the sweet smell of revenge! Is that wrong--I dont care-- It feels sooo Good!
