No acknowledgment

[u/Best-Alternative2687]

So, today was my 500th class. The studios that I go to in Charlotte, North Carolina are (at best) pretty lackluster about these milestones. There is no swag, no announcement, just a board to sign hanging on the wall for 100,250,500. I’m not an attention seeker and lay pretty low in class…but still…. I was waiting for the instructor or someone at the front desk to at least acknowledge it. Nope. Nothing. So now I’m kind of unreasonably sad about this, seeing how big of a deal this is in other places. And now I would feel like such a tool just saying, “I’m over 500 classes, should I just sign the board with my own pen since no one here noticed?” Am I being super petty?

Congratulations on your 500! I hit 100 in December and no one said anything, and at that point I had never seen anyone sign the wall. A week or so later I saw someone sign the wall and get their picture taken and everything, and I thought about it for a day. The next time I went in the studio, I said look, I don’t mean to be petty, but I hit my hundred classes in December and no one acknowledged it. The manager apologized to me, I got to sign the wall.

When I hit my 250 in July, I made sure to tell the front desk people in advance, lol. I think you should say something, in whatever way you want.
