You never know when you are speaking with a potential customer. Little did this guy know, I have a little girl who is 3 and a half and I am planning to put her in martial arts training when she is 4. (4 being the age that the schools in my area accept kids) At any rate, I happen to walk in here during the downtown trick or treating event here in Bangor as they were listed as participating business. When I walked in the owner was currently involved in a disagreement with a trick or treater's mom. And right in front of a room full of other moms, dads and kids. In the most arrogant fashion he told this lady just how wrong she was in thinking that he would possibly have candy to pass out instead of just the puzzle pieces.This lady was really taken aback so I went to her defense and politely told the owner of this place that the coordinators were not explaining things very well. Before I could even finish he cut me off and loudly started asking "Who told you that? Where are they at?" I argued back that I don't know who in the bleep these people are. He calmed down and spoke normal, but in trying to explain away the misunderstanding he showed me that he was surely participating in this event begrudgingly. I'm thinking why participate at all then? He clearly could have used this unique marketing opportunity as a way to embrace the kids and gain customers (students). Instead, he unknowingly did me a favor and helped me narrow my search for a martial arts school. I definitely wont be sending my little girl here. Thank you sir for helping me make my decision. read more
