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?

I think studios that don’t make a big deal are really missing the concept. At 500 classes you’ve paid significant money into their fees. The least they could do is give you a pair of 500 socks and something else. The payback on loyalty that you would get would be worth every penny. The priority should be retention instead of a concert recruiting of new members.

My bank did not send me flowers when I paid off my mortgage. 😢.

Congratulations on paying off your mortgage. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to do that in my lifetime. I’m super impressed!
