My Guys Get Tips

We charge $65.00 for a customer to spend an hour with one of my instructors which is a bargain for what our customers receive. Often with a new or shall we say a less experienced shooter 1/2 of the hour is spent at the counter going over basic stuff. That $65.00 also includes the use of any of the 60 or so rental guns we have(ammo is extra). By the way, that's a great way to try out several different guns.
Often after a lesson the instructors gather in my office and discuss how a lesson went. Yesterday one of my guys was upset that he had spent an hour with a lady and he felt the whole time was wasted. No mater how much he tried she just wouldn't listen and didn't get it. I asked if he had done his best and he thought he had so I told him that sometimes all you can do is all you can do.I also let him know how important it was to me that he cared about what the lady got out of the lesson.
I get lots of complements and I have seen my guys get tips every now and then even though they try not to take them. It's nice when everybody's happy. I mean content not happy. [:)] I do wish they would share the tips with me.[:)]

    I have the same problem with teaching my high school bowlers how to bowl. I don't get nearly $65 an hour and by this time of the season I've easily spent over a hundred hours with each one of them. They still have no clue as to what their doing. Either they have it or they don't. Seems to me the lady above just doesn't get it.

    Your welcome.






    I hope this has been helpful for you.

    Spasm, i really do not think you should speak of Ricci, in that manner, when he can read what we are saying.


    Just saying. [}:)]

    don't know ricci and u don't know me ...i have seen and delt with some described...also know a few you cannot tell anything because they cannot SHUT their damnn mouth for 3 seconds so you can get a word in edgewise...went to basketball games a week ago friday and a gal sitting about 15' away never shut up thru 3 games and two intermissions...we left and during the last game an older fellow sitting right in front of where we were fell over dead...wonder if that soaked in she was NOT the center of the universe....he was a B-17 pilot flew many missions over Germany (RIP with Honor)..... seems we are also raising a generation that is incapable of doing anything without a cellphone plastered in their face...

    Spasmcreek - I did not mean to inadvertently step on your toes Brother.

    You are right. " I do not know you."

    It was a joke between Ricci, and I.

    No harm intended.

    Man I would never ask them to share a tip with me. I was just fooling. quote:Originally posted by us55840

    Tip sharing in the Restaurant business is currently being investigated for a class action lawsuit.

    You are not in the restaurant business but 'kinda opens the door' maybe???
