Ship & Shore Supplies Inc — Local services in Dauphin Island

This is a nice little spot. While vacationing on the island, the first morning I was here I realized I brought coffee but not my sweetener. That’s kind of a bummer realizing that at 5:00am, because I love coffee with my beach waves and I thought there’s no way anyone will be open this early. I piddled around until about 7:00 and was headed out to the dollar general on the other side of the bridge, about 15 minutes away but right before I got on the bridge I thought “let’s just google real quick and see if there’s anywhere closer first” and that’s when Ship and Shore popped up. I had noticed the store on my way in but thought it was part of the liquor store. Anyway, I was happy to have found somewhere close by to get my items I had forgotten to bring. This store had anything I could’ve needed plus some. It’s like a Walmart, hardware store, and mini version of a bass pro all in one. The lady that was working was nice, helped me find an item I had overlooked and couldn’t find, and the prices of the items I bought were fair (same as if I were at Walmart) From what I could see, just about everything I buy at major stores back home was in this little store (grocery wise) Next time I visit, I will wait until I get here and get my groceries from this store instead of buying them back home and having them take up...

I would not write this review if the same thing hadn’t happened on 3 different occasions. I don't understand why the only store on this island has such rude and unfriendly girls working the checkout. They never say hello, and when you say hello, they ignore you. You walk in the door, they look right at you and then look away. WTH! It's such a shame and gives Dauphin Island a bad vibe/reputation to have the very first place you stop for supplies when arriving to have rude and unfriendly staff. Maybe they are from New York, because they certainly don’t act like polite Southern gals. And apparently this happens year after year, according to other reviews. I’ve been here two months and it’s always the same. After 3 rude/ignoring/terrible service experiences, I will never go back. In fact, I’d rather drive an hour round-trip to Greers because I'm certainly not going to spend my money in a place like that. HOWEVER, the gentleman at the liquor store next door is always welcoming, helpful, and so friendly! He needs to train those terrible girls to...

For all of those complaining about prices move around. IT'S AN ISLAND!!!! THEY ARE SAVING YOU A TRIP ACROSS THE BRIDGE!!! Do you think the stuff just magically appears on shelves. NO!!! It comes from different suppliers including trips to Walmart themselves. So why not be compensated for THEIR time and gas as well. As far as everyone complains on the island about this store, THAT IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT AT ALL!!!! FYI they don't need your sarcastic attitudes in the store. They deal with enough things without you being ignorant and asking stupid questions. So the next time you guys want to bad mouth something make sure you know EXACTLY what you are taking about because all of the bad reviews and complaints are just people that got told NO when asked...
