[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1294946, member: 16769"] I hear ya. Every year, we have about 60% or more same customers as year before, and the rest are new ones. Not all our regulars buy every year. But it takes a couple years to "train" em; then there are new ones "in training," and repeaters that need the "refresher course." We charge that $150 nonrefundable deposit mos. ahead for 2 reasons: So they get spanked a little bit if they back out (obvious), but mostly so they've got plenty of time to save up for the big $$ hit at the end -- so many of them are just used to spending $15-$20 bucks for meat a couple times a week. I've got one customer backing out right now cuz he lost his job -- trying to get that half spoken for again, and when I do, I'll go ahead and refund his deposit. [/QUOTE]
