yes, and thank you for that great suggestion which I will be using from now on when I am in that uncomfortable situation! You're right, that should be sufficient, but still is a little too close to "do you need change"? which irks me. Also, if the customer doesn't readily pick up on what's really b

I believe that last year when license renewal happened she got "caught" and state board sent her warning letters. Then I also think that she bounced checks to the board when trying to renew late with fees. I guess the point of my frustration is that it's been a whole year and she is still unre

So letters have been written, to the state board? about her being expired? And the bounced checks, who are the checks wrote to? The reason I'm asking is the board may not cover bounced checks, but your local prosecutor. The person she is writing bounced checks needs to contact the agency that

Renee, You can cancel the current transaction before it has been run, then enter the new amount. The question "how much would you like to put on the card?" is perfectly tactful in my opinion. The client could prefer to leave you a cash tip.. On Nov 14, 2010 10:23 PM, "Renee Parnell" wrote: > If

I would not want to work in a salon where even just one person is not licensed. Think about this: we bitch and moan about the chop shops and "nss" with their unlicensed employees.

I will not refund the money, period. No other business does. I will allow re-gifting. They can give it to some one else if they want. I put an expiration date on it, but I will honor it 20 years later if they still have it, however, if they make an appointment, then no show or cancel less than 2

Hello all! Just wanted to throw my "two cents" in on this and I will start by saying that I know I am more lenient about all this than most, but instead of letting this upset you, maybe you could look at it a different way. Maybe the inspector only has so many hours in a day, and wants to

Also, Target, Walmart and any other business is governed by the state that their home office is in. They must follow their rules and they don't apply from state to state. In case anyone wonders, I am not just a tax and accounting geek, I used to be an accountant before I started doing nails :o)

Just like Deb and Rhonda said, doesn't matter what we say here, depends on your state laws. Now the person that has the g.c and waits to use it and you refuse, would have to go thru the red tape to get the money back. Would they do that? some would, some would not. And if anyone doesn't wa
