Am i mad?
Or is it the friendliness of the UK Sign Community wearing off on me???
A few doors down from where i am based is a screen printer. Up until a few weeks back, all he did was screen print…….now he’s branching out into signs only he can hardly use a PC or a Plotter and neither can the idiot he has employed this last week or so. So in he pops, any chance I can have a look at his plotter as it doesnt seem to be working and neither is the software he has.
So off i plod(muggins), has a look at his plotter, etc and theres nothing wrong with it! Cut some test cuts in front of them and off i went.
Anyway the following day, its broke again, they must think i’m a fool so as a favour i pop back down and do the same, and later that afternoon and this morning and later this afternoon.
Finally, the guy who owns the business picks up his balls and says to me……any chance you can show my new employee the basics,etc so i did…..for free(costing me a couple of hours of time in total)!
Sorry more waffle, I guess what i am trying to ask is ‘did i do the right thing because he’s obviously going to be a competitor now he’s got the plotter,etc more or less sorted’ or am i asking for trouble??
I appreciate that the quality of the work aint going to be too clever as between them they can hardly use the plotter never mind the software but some customers dont really care as the long as the price is right.
Lets just hope my next screenprinting order is near enough f.o.c!
I dunno………
Confused, 24, Wales! 🙄
