Posted: Ok, I have recently had an offer to sell fire equipment etc in a friends
shop. The shop is not a juggling shop . I was wondering what obligation
everyone feels they have when selling to the public
Obviously we have an obligation to provide safe, reliable, decent equipment
but do we also have an obligation to warn of the dangers and not sell to
untrained, inexperianced people . As it is imposible to check everyone
you sell to, what can I do to warn, should I put a written warning with every piece
The reason I am bothered is that the shop is not a performing arts shop,
just bit and bobs. Because places like H.O.P are specialised retailers
it is safe to asume that as other info, like this board, is provided people
would know the dangers, otherwise they would not be brouseing through
such a specialist area. I know I may be making a big deal out of this but
what does everyone else think.
safe guys, safe

p.s
Does anyone else think that as we have more smilies to choose from
the limit should be greater than eight?

Posted: I think it is good that you have considered these things. I bought my first staff from a similar shop, yes, the shop assistants knew what they were about and could give good advice, but anyone really could have bought it.
It is tough, cos you can't control who the shop sells it to. And in a lot of ways, they have the responsibility. However even they cannot assess each person who comes in on their skill and sanity.
maybe you could include a little leaflet that talks about wick care, & safety etc. But that may take your costs up.
It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...
