1. Guess what...McDonald's emplyees also make diddly. I wouldn't be real excited if THEY told me how to be a less annoying customer either. I don't care who I'm paying. The fact of the matter is that I AM paying. I'm paying for a product and the coach is part of the product. How much the coach gets paid is between the owner and them. Not me. All I know is I'm spending the better part of my annual income on this, so I'm not real receptive to being told how to be "less annoying." And as I've stated numerous times on this board: I spend more on cheer than I do on any other bill I have. So you can bet I'm going to be picky about what I receive for that money.
Funny you bring up the Mcdonalds, because that is where I spend my other 8-12 hours a day at when I'm not at a gym. As a manager I wouldn't say I make diddly, but definitely not as much as someone with the same management experience in a different setting makes. I could write a thread telling you how to get your way at mcdonalds too, and the list would go longer, but I will say getting your way at mcdonalds in the fastest and highest quality way possible is usually to be compassionate and professional and always ask to speak to the manager, because dealing with customers is the main reason we are paid more.
