Nothing they should be grateful we allow them to serve us

[USA190520]

Pay them on time preferably before they have to ask.

Best TIP

[jesposito]

Give them a kick in the ass and tell them to make the sail correctly next time

I bet you get great service from them in the future! Even a six pack from time to time goes a long way in keeping the troops happy on the loft floor, and they won't forget that the next time your sails come in.

I would also bet you folks who believe saying thanks to your sail makers, riggers, jigs, etc is above what you owe anyone will continue to get basic levels of service from them. It doesn't take a phd in psychology to understand this. If you appreciate anyone providing a service for you (be it a sail maker, a mechanic changing the oil in your car, the person making your coffee at Starbucks, building your team sandwiches at subway, etc...) they are more likely to remember you as one of the good ones, and will be more willing to go out of their way to help you in the future. I'm not saying take the Starbucks girls a six rack, I'm sure they would rather a couple bucks in the tip jar. But you should get the point. I used to get $20 best buy gift cards for the morning Starbucks girls, and the lunch time subway team, as an Xmas gift, and that went a LONG way.

Starbucks girls a six rack?

Please elaborate on this.

Don't smoke in bed. Then again, my annual sail budget is t that great.

I know anarchists who pay for sail repair/work with racks of beer and bottles of rum. Seems to get them good, expeditious, service.

... the best tip I could ever hope for is continued patronage. That is as big of a "thank you" that truly matters.

Sure. If my sail was on time. If the rigger was on time. I don't understand why this particular industry thinks habitual lateness is acceptable. Prompt service, prompt payment.

When I go shopping I buy the good shit... So I can taste it... But ya know what I'm thinking bout right now? It ain't the coffee in my kitchen...

[walterbshaffer]

I steer business to someone who does a good job, or even does the job on time and on budget.

They may not mention my name when they call the "Jimmy" (whatever TF that is) but I am satisfied that I am doing well by them and don't need the recognition.
