Members Reaper Posted September 10, 2010 Members Report Posted September 10, 2010 I have a friend that I have made several holsters for and no matter what I can never please him. I always gett, " It's fine, but if you could just shave off about 1/32" then it would be great." I still don't know why I even bother taking on a job from him. Oh and not to mention he is a very cheap person too. I can feel it for sure, sounds like my older brother. Two holster five suggestions and complaints and they didn't cost him a thing.... Quote No sir, he fell into that bullet

Two holster five suggestions and complaints and they didn't cost him a thing.... I think at that point I'd hand over a piece of leather and some tools - go right ahead and make it exactly how you want it Quote
Members Hicks02 Posted September 11, 2010 Members Report Posted September 11, 2010 It does seem like family is the worse people to deal with. I have tried to study leather work and holster making for about six years and they still know more than me.lol Quote
Members horsewreck Posted September 11, 2010 Members Report Posted September 11, 2010 In our shop we have a short list of names taped to the the back side of the counter where no customer can see, we call it the PIA list, which is short for for Pain In the Ass. When a person makes the list we no longer do any work for them. We always have a very good reason for not being able to do their job without telling them they are a PIA. On the front side of the counter is a well made sign that says, "My customers are a necessity not an Inconvenience". When I have one of those PIAs come into our shop and they start pushing my buttons I feel like I should change the sign to, "Some of my customers are a necessity and some are just a inconvenience".....
