I know if I was the owner and I saw, or heard about these posts, you would be fired. There is certain laundry that should not be aired...

Just do your job, if you can't sell 74 dollar packages, the owner will figure out why......
or close the salon.....

That is my problem (& always has been)... I care TOO much and do MORE than what is expected of me at my job.... And, I'm sure YOU get your employees training and answers to their questions.... He won't get us "certified" because he'd have to close for a day and there'd be nobody to run the salon... I have a feeling, as an owner, YOU know what you're doing and have studied the industry.....my owner has not. I'm not airing dirty laundry, I am looking for help/advice. Simply, how to convince him to 'listen' to his employees???

There is a lot of info on the website though. If he doesn't feel the need to supply the training, you can read up on it yourself online or something.

I keep asking and asking and WILL continue to do so. I have gone over many websites, read a lot of info here (which is very helpful!) and read literature. I don't get it either??

He will not allow her to tan here anymore (going to refund her her money) because she is getting "too dark" and doesn't want *black people* working in his restaurant. Now...huh?!? Why WOULDN'T you want an employee to be that tan and PROMOTE your other business??? That floored me when I heard it....
