Rgvpapi, I am sure they get business, or they would not be coming back. But I wonder just what kind of service they provide?
Not trying to say they don't provide something that some guys find satisfying, but I know that you and I have shared a beer or three, as well as a dinner or two with some other members down here in talks about this very same subject.
And I realize that not everybody that sees them are ECCIE members, most probably have no clue about this board or the benefits of being a member on here.
BUT, from this small sample, I do wonder how many of these guys would go see them if they knew this info:
And this is just for June in Laredo, mind you:
One alert thread about a bait and switch from BP.

A "YES" review, but a comment about a pimp afterwards:

And I can't locate it right at the moment, but a rush job where the guy was out in 35 minutes or so after paying the hour rate?
There is probably a very good reason why they don't want to join up, IMO.
And I am not really worried about the guys that are looking for a quickie, I am speaking about the established members down here that have been through the lean times, have fought through the battles of trying to get Laredo a place the come visit, the los Cinco Amigos de Laredo who came together a couple of years ago and had a great time in throwing a party never seen before down here, or since.
If some of us want to be satisfied with taking what is available, so be it.
Me, I am sorry, I will continue to strive to bring up the standard that is accepted down here in hopes that Laredo can have the type of quality that seems to be pervasive in other areas of South Texas.
