Recently, we've had a small problem with our classroom registration.
People have been showing up for class, but didn't bring their money to pay
for the class. We try to be good guys... so far we have let people
attend and pay the following week. However, this is a pain in the
patoot to keep track of.
I like that we enjoy a bit of flexibility when it comes to the many
things that we do and the services we provide, but it's frustrating when
we see people taking advantage of our good nature. If the behavior
continues, we'll end up having to turn people away at the door - something
that has NEVER before happened at TBCS.
I would appreciate it if you would make it a point to show up prepared
to pay. Let's face it, I'm sure that St. Pete College doesn't accept
your word of future payment as admission to a class. Thanks bunches
campers.
