There is a certain amount of dissatisfaction that goes with knowing your time, talent and abilities are not being properly used.

I'm constantly amazed that owners and managers of all businesses don't train their people to call the person who pays by credit card by name. It definitely makes the customer feel good and will be a factor in bringing them back to your place of business.
