Maybe I need new clubs
I’ve been spending a bit more time on the property doing some spring cleaning and taking care of the deferred maintenance.
I’ve met a few new customers…in the first place, that’s surprising because I’ve been operated the place for 20 years. But then, I suppose people move to the market area and “discover” the joint…which is surprising because it’s on a major thoroughfare. So, maybe they’re new customers because their car got really slopped up by the last storm and they saw all the activity and decided to give the “quarter car wash” a try?
Anyway, the reason I suspect they are new customers is because of the time they spend looking at the meter box and signage before they deposit coins or swipe their credit card. But, the biggest clue is…they don’t squeeze the handle on the trigger gun!
When I suggest, “It works better if you squeeze the trigger,” their reaction to the pressure/volume is almost humorous.
Except, for the slight older lady who nearly got wacked in the nose by the wand when she pulled the trigger. She screamed and dropped the gun just in time to avoid injuring herself!!! Yikes!
So now, IF I suggest pulling the trigger…I preface that with “Hold on to the wand!”
How did we ever keep from killing someone before the advent of trigger guns??? I still have nightmares watching people chase those runaway red handled wands around the bay!
