I sort of put my foot in my mouth earlier tonight.
I was talking with a local *mom* who I just met through my daughter recently.
Making get-to-know small talk she asked me if I had ever been to (certain local establishment, catering to kids).
CaptiousNut - Yeah. Only once. When I saw the absolutely ridiculous prices....I walked right out.
Woman - Well, we own that.
Woops!
I apologized, a couple times. But I guess it wasn't that bad - what I said. It wasn't like I said, "The place is run by a$$holes" or anything, right?
She told me that she wants to raise the fees even higher but her husband is reluctant.
Why so expensive?
$6,000 a month in taxes, $5,000 a month in utilities, insurance, mortgage (they bought the building in 2005, ouch!)....all told, with employee salaries she told me that it costs 70k per month just to operate.
45 minute classes there cost $30. Like I said, ridiculous!
And who wants to take their kid(s) to a 45 minute class? It's so short, you can't even run to the grocery store in the meantime...
