Otherwise the problem will be self-perpetuating. You may get a "bug letter" in response, but at least you will have assisted GA better than those employees are doing.

Chevalier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 11:09 PM To: Coupers List Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] I must be getting old Took the wife to Laughlin last weekend and decided to return home via Lake Havasu City so she could see the London Bridge. Afterward, I landed to get fuel. Couldn't see any pumps and there were no signs to indicate where to fuel. Several signs pointed to transient parking, but I wasn't parking, just wanted fuel. The only indication was a Chevron sign on one building so I headed for it. Saw a fuel truck at the end of a row of airplanes so I pulled up next to it and shut down. Asked the boy to top it off and was curtly told to go inside. A few minutes later, the boy gave a ticket to the lady behind the counter and I paid for the gas. Just as I was ready to leave she said, "In the future if you come back again, you should put the airplane in the Transient Parking area if you want fuel." I told her there were no signs with such instructions outside and that I wasn't looking to park, just get fuel. She said, "You could have called on the unicom for instructions." I told her that I had called on the radio, but no one answered. She said somebody "back there" should have answered. (Must have been my fault they didn't) Is it just me? I think the only mistake a customer can make with a business, is going to them in the first place. But for some inexplicable reason, this employee seemed bent on telling me all the things which my gross stupidity had caused me to do wrong. BOY! I WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!
