The "pub chat" thread. *NSFW*

[lee]

Quesion for my pub peeps:

Every job I have issues with is when customers bring in their own clothing, it isn't designed for wha i need to do to it.

Ultimately i get in a discussion for an hour brfore they convince me to have a crack, I do it and get it done but it takes me hours more.

I hate these jobs and they are unprofitable, should i stop taking them on?

I take them on ultimately because i am REALLY nice and in the hope the customer will come back with a less crap order.

(please ignore any missing letters crap keyboard)

State your position clearer.

"I cannot do this because your shirt is not designed to have <insert whatever boring stuff they want> done to it. It will ruin the shirt because <invent a reason>. Look, I know you've obviously bought these shirts, so I'll discount the price of our merch, because it'd take twice as long on your shirts anyway and I'd have to pass on that per hour charge to you."

Can you charge a bit more for these jobs where peeps bring their own stuff or just give an estimate and charge T&M to make it profitable?

I was thinking this as well, but ultimately people just don't seem to want to pay the actual difference in cost to me.

I guess i could try, have a 'delicates' charge if they shy at the price i guess i have lost nothing.

I haven't tried this

I don't like to come across as the hard seller, certainly valid though.

These customers are always the ones that come in saying "I just bought this 3 seconds ago I want xyz done to it by the day after tomorrow" so it makes it hard to organize quality items for them.

And they are always the "awww c'mon type" when I refuse the first 3 times :/

Is there a certain time period where it is in fact OK to tap your mates ex?

Are you still good mates with him?

If so, try to clear it with him.

If he says "yeah" then tap it.
If he says "no" then tap it for an extra forbidden fruit bonus.

But, as Lee raised... what to do to him on his last day as an Apprentice....?

Lure him into a false sense of security, don't do anything to him until you're in the pub, then get him really drunk, steal his clothes & make him do a nudie run.

Ask the mate, I did this he said it was fine.

He ended up going dawsons creek.

Has some one else tapped her since they broke-up but prior to your proposed tapping? Is it just some winter fun or relationship potential?

Need more information and a pics... pics would also help with the advice.

We are still mates, not so close anymore though, so i'm taking it as a challenge.

He also has a hot sister. Stay tuned, this could be epic.

Excuse me while I doubt highly it will be epic.

It's at the Ship n Dock... noone will notice over the skanky strippers.

Plus he's know for his nudie runs when pissed...

He don't play fair...

I'm not dumb enough to try tap a housemate...

Plus i live at home. That could get awkwardly wrong REAL quickly.

Was yesterday Official Retards Day? I swear, everyone was so fucking slow on the roads. Driving from Parkwood (SOR) to Irwin Barracks Karrakatta, down to O'Connor (SOR) then back to Parkwood, not one person did the speed limit, they were all 10-20k under.

Honestly.

What the fuck.
