We all have stories like this, but here's my most recent...
Last summer, the local youth soccer chairperson came to my shop looking for trophies and medals. I priced them up for her, thinking that I was giving them a pretty good deal.
She called me a couple of weeks later, and told me that she had found a better price on the Internet, and that she'd be buying them online.
Okay. No problem.
I was visiting with another customer yesterday, who is the NEW chairperson for the soccer association. She informed me that the "cheap" trophies they bought had the name of our town misspelled on every trophy...there were about 500 of them. Ouch! I didn't ask, but I feel like that's probably part of the reason she's the EX-chairperson now.
Based on the size of that order, I'd have to rate "accuracy" with a big fat ZILCH. Especially when it comes to spelling, it's either RIGHT or WRONG. There's no partial credit for having only one letter missing. |
