I didn't start this thread to complain, only to relate what I think is a bit of a funny story about customers.
There is a league player, lets say that he is quite loud when he gets drunk at league.
I don't fade drunken loudness all that much anyway so there was a wedge right off the bat.
Every time this guys sees me, he starts woofing about me putting a tip on a shaft for him. I just keep mentioning that he should put his shaft in his bag and give it to me the next time around. Never happens.
He wants an Elk Master. When a new customer inquires about a re tip, I usually ask them what type of tip they like etc to get a feel of what I can offer. I make a couple of suggestions.
I mentioned to this guy from what he told me that a Milk Dud would probably suit him better than an Elk Master.
Nope, he is also a know it all in all things so he won't listen or take any other suggestions. Fine with me, you want an Elk Master, an Elk Master is what you'll get.
Well, a week ago, we were both playing in a Sat singles tourney and the woofing begins again. I'm already tired of hearing about it by now.
He suggests that I drive out to his shop in an industrial area to pick up his shaft work on it, and of course, deliver it back.
I told him that it was a ten mile return trip and I wasn't going to spend 20 bucks worth of fuel and my time for a 15 dollar job.
He then said that I could have a couple of drinks with him.
Alcohol generally isn't a huge incentive in my life to do anything anyway. I mentioned that if I wanted to have a drink, I would do it at home and didn't need to drive ten miles to have one.
I'm definitely not shy of drinking cold beer but I like to choose who I do it with. I doubt that I could suffer this know it all for long enuff to glug one down.
He looked at me and said, "oh my God, I can't believe that you don't want to do this".
I told him to get a hold of Vic, the other repair guy and he will fix you up. I also told him that Vic will be more than willing to pick up and deliver, but for a charge.
God, I hope that I don't run into this guy again, I know I will but hope not soon.
He is just one person that I know for 15 bucks will cause you more grief than 15 is worth.
My sad story for the day.
