Nice place from what I've heard. Great golf course on-site (with more courses within a short drive), good fishing on the Choptank. You're about an hour from MD/DE Beaches, and an hour and a half from DC or Baltimore.

We went on this trip this weekend and it was nice but very expensive. We arrived on Friday around 1:30pm and we left Sunday morning. Friday night dinner and drinks were provided. Saturday night our regional sales mgr took me and my wife out to dinner. So we only had to pay for lunch two days, drinks, and I played golf Saturday. Our bill was $500 so I'd say it was a bit pricy. Oh, and the room was also provided.

holy snickies! we went there for the 4th of july.

our rooms were comp'd by my ladies uncle who thought he could get our room covered under his points but he couldnt so he had to pay over 400 per night (we were in the suites on teh 6th floor with the vip lounge, etc)

i figured id pick up dinner one night but when i heard he had to pay money for our room for the 2 nights i bought dinner both nights and it totaled 500 bucks for 2 crappy ass dinners.

teh pools are overrun with kids and the hot tubs always had a bunch of 10 year olds in it even though supposedly every even hour (or odd?) was supposed to be adults only.

the place was just overrun with kids, itd be great if you have kids, sucked if you were looking to get hammered by the pool sandals style.

very expensive. i consider it a really nice holliday inn or a really bad hyatt "resort".

Well I had to go in on my day off because one of my employees forgot to ring up a 360. Welcome to Gamestop.

No I didn't have to because we called the customer who was nice enogh to come back and pay for it but I did write her up for it. After reviewing the tape its clear she didn't mean to but she should have noticed the total wasnt right.

Yeah, that would be a huge red flag you'd think.

No wonder why you're not having luck with the female employees lol

When I bought mine two and a half months ago none of the 5 closest GameStops had ANY of the models.

Yeah, I do something work-related with the business I run 7 days a week. I'm not there everyday, but on my "days off" I have at least 2 phone calls a day with my assistant. It's just how it goes.

However when I go to Florida the first week of June for my 1 year wedding anniversary, I'm telling everyone that unless there's a freaking 4 alarm crisis, leave me the eff alone.

What's up with leaving your mobile on your desk, then going to lunch for an hour? Alarms and calls going off every 5 f'ing minutes. I'm about to pull the battery on this clown's phone.
