Bad news...

I feel like they have a better return policy than other stores.


I'll vouch for that...I had some iPod accessories that were a few years old, with a one year warranty...had no receipt...they let me even exchange no questions asked because they felt a product from their store should last. I also brought back a couple dvd's that I watched and didn't like...with the receipt, and they took them back and let me exchange for two others. I dunno if that's good business to keep me happy and going back or bad business and they lose money.

It's all about customer satisfaction. Sure, they lose a little money, but what they are trying to do is build customer loyalty. Treat the customer good, then they are more likely to come back and buy something else.

Well, I met with the store manager today. He likes me.

And, I have a part time deal washing boats at the marina too!

Well, I had a long day. I did a full detail of a 20-something foot boat. It hasn't been washed in a year. A 6 hour detail job.

And, I still want to work there?!

If you enjoy what you're doing and the pay is right, hell yeah you wanna work there. Don't forget to network either. Some of them rich folk like seeing youingins not afraid to work. Who knows, might turn in to an internship or job opportunity for you some day.

Yep. It's a full time deal until I start at Best Buy, then I'll do it a day or so a week. The people are great and I'm not being beat like a horse. :D

It's always nice to have the network, too!

LOL I wouldn't last that long. I helped to sand down and polish the brass tanks of a radiator once and didn't even finish one side before I said 'screw this'

Congrats on the new job

Thanks!

Here is an update for all: I've clocked close to 70 hours so far, and this job isn't half bad! We've got 3 49+ foot yachts on the list for next week; that should be fun. :headbang: I've been knocking out some boats on my own and have gotten mostly good replies.

We had a pontoon boat that must have been sitting for at least 4 months... I washed it 3 or 4 four times and still got ragged about it my the sales guy. The rest of the shop says he sucks. :D

Yet another update: I did my first full detail by myself today. The guy I work for said that if it wasn't perfect, he'd make me work for free for 2 weeks. So funny! :D .... I got it perfect. -- He gave me a bonus today. COOL!

How the hell did you get a bonus already?
