Also need to distinguish between the customers who disappear and return a year later demanding their bike vs customers who respectfully communicate that they need extra time to get their bag straight
Also all business is exploitation so in the end there’s no goodness anyway
This is not limited to retail. You should see my company’s policies and procedures manual.
Ours has been filled with oddly specific policies over the years. HR revised it last year to smooth out some of those policies to be less specific.
Seriously I’m being triggered
I know. I just don’t think that is going to modify the behavior of the people who need behavior modification.
These are people who appear to be willing to write off several hundred dollars worth of bike in the first place. There is nothing in my personal experience that suggests that this will have any material impact other than to cause them to write off the bike sooner.
Note: this is all academic. I just like arguing!
My GF likes to cite oddly specific rules in buddhist monasteries rulebooks and point out that these were instituted because someone in the past did fuck a rooster or steal from a visitor etc. Makes one wonder about what your HR has seen over the years.
In this case, because we’re talking about taking possession of someone else’s property and selling it, I think for legal reasons it really is best to have the policy layed out in advance.
This varies from state to state of course, so I have decided to pay my attorney to make sure we have a clear and legal policy. I’m pretty annoyed with myself honestly for not being more aggressive with weekly emails instead of being “fuck it, they’ll come looking”.
We are still updating our COVID plan every couple of months
Big S shut down one of three locations of my former shop. Word is it suffered a 50% drop in gross sales since PRE-covid high. This industry is nothing if not chaotic. Had a chuckle with one of my former partners there. I always thought it was a terrible idea for the long-term sustainability of the brand, he thought it was great to scale up and sell out. Turns out we were both right.
no it definitely was not.

lmfao
it only took like what, 15 years for this to happen again?
i recall someone doing this a very long time ago. still impressed you can manage to get a tire on inside out.
Yeah, that’s what always confused me about this. Like they are hard enough to handle when folded, but to get it unfolded and flipped inside out is next level. I imagine wire bead would be just a difficult to do.
LOL don’t show em my government
Anyone have troubleshooting tips for a stuck piston on an avid elixir caliper? Used the bleed block to push it halfway home.
They worked fine for 15 years till a couple days ago
