Didn't know a full service gas station still existed until we stopped by for gas. We had the…read morepleasure of befriending one of the nicest locals named Edgar, who gave us all sorts of tips of places to go to (and places to avoid). :) All of his recommendations were wonderful. He was the best! We even came back to meet his dog Matilda who the locals know as "Tilly". If you need to get gas while you're in the area, skip the big gas chains, and go to the quaint gas station at Fairwind Marine. If you're lucky Edgar will be in. :)

A REAL hardware store! What an awesome store, right in downtown Boothbay Harbor. They have…read moreEVERYTHING you could need and more. I was looking for fishing tackle and was pleased to find a very good selection. The staff were super friendly too. I would recommend Grovers hardware for any trailing spouses that may prefer browsing hardware to browsing candles and T-shirts in Boothbay Harbor ;-)

I think the…read morething that makes this store stand out is, one day I was waiting for some paint to be shaken, and I asked the young lady how she liked working here. She answered without a pause that it was the best job she'd ever had. Nowadays, anybody involved in dealing with the public on a daily basis sort of needs a reason to that enthusiastic. They have a good selection, their prices are fair, and I have rarely walked made it past the front desk without being asked if I needed help. A good old neighborhood hardware store.

I watched an employee (older man with gray hair and beard) walk up to a customer in line and just…read moreabsolutely berate the poor guy for being in the "wrong line" and acted like the customer was stupid. The customer looked at me with disbelief and walked off. Then my turn was next. I had just purchased an item days earlier that was hundreds of dollars and didn't work right out of the box. I had my receipt with me. He would not exchange it or refund me. He said they had to ship my brand new item out for repair. I don't think I have ever seen such a rude and angry person allowed to deal with the public anywhere. I thought he was joking at first it was so bad.

I absolutely hate having to purchase something at Hammond's in Boothbay. I do it only as a…read moreconvenience. When you enter this store you are never greeted, the numerous employees continue to look down at their desks, doing nothing of note. Someone has set up a rope system, absurd spacing and thick plexi-glass barriers making it even harder to do business here. The prospect of catching covid is equivalent to catching a good deal here. Even the cashier seems to have forgotten to smile or say thank you during my numerous visits there. Now, if it were reasonably priced, I could put up with all the cold shoulders, but, not surprisingly, it's not. I drive to Hancock lumber in Damariscotta and save $$$ and receive a welcome smile. I give Hammond's yard guys a 5 star rating but stay away from the sales office !
