Messed up a customer's ski mount, what should I do?
Alright so I was a bit tired last friday when I did these, and ended up putting both of the bindings a bit.... off center. I realized the mistakes this morning, and I'm panicking since the customer's coming to pick them up tomorrow so my manager's gonna check these by the end of today. Is there anything I can do to fix these bindings?
Edit: oh yeah i forgot to mention that I accidentally put on two different heel pieces. I was really tired...

resign from your position immediately and consult a therapist and the NS legal team for when this customer sues you for negligence and a new pair of skis
You gotta tell your boss you messed up and then take whatever punishment you're given. Don't try to ghetto-fix these skis to save your ego. The shop's reputation and the skier's safety are on the line
Holy fuck lmao. OP, go tell your boss ASAP. It'll get you some points for being honest. When I was working at an airport in Idaho, I was carrying an air tank across the hangar, tripped, and dropped the tank, which took a bigass chunk out of the floats of a 250k custom built super cub. Major fuckup. Went to my boss asap, and told him what happened. He thanked me for coming to talk to him, and then had me fix it. Good learning experience. Would probably have gotten fired if I'd tried to play dumb.

Yeah, you're right. Thing is I made a similar mistake last week too when I mounted someone's skis backwards so my boss is already pretty pissed. But yeah I agree, I'll let him know and hope for the best

And if you are doing this shit cause you are tired, stop being tired. Get some good rest before you go in, cause if you keep fucking up you won't last long. Idk what you like to do, but don't be drinking or getting baked before you go in. Shit like that makes it easy to fuck up.

to be fair. atleast its a symmetrical twin tip. you wont even notice if you ski it son long as the binding is mounted in the same spot from the tip of the ski. i think the vishnu wet is center mounted anyway.
coincidence that this thread appears after a few “shop messed up mounting my skis” threads? UHHHH I dunno grind off one side of the ski to make the mounts centered and shid on the bathroom floor
NS legal team will favor OP as he is an NS poster
unless owner of the skis is also an NSer
ooh that would get interesting. eh game of slvsh can settle this

I have a near photographic memory for skiing stuff, or anything I really like because I'll look at it and do it for hours on end. Something about that picture spoke to me, and I performed the pro gamer move known as the reverse image search and was immediately linked to that thread.
YO DAWG, HMU. I'M STARTIN A NEW SKI COMPANY. WE'RE LOOKING FOR LAZY, STUPID ASSHOLES WHO HAVE A SEVERE LACK OF COMMON SENSE AND NO ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I PAY GOOD. HMU BRO!
dont feel bad, its your bosses fault for keeping your dumbass around to keep fucking peoples stuff up. I'm sure he isn't going to replace dudes skis, and sounds like he won't replace you so this I just going to happen again because you are "tired" at work. Don't be such a pussy man you work at a fucking ski shop. I dont know why everyones being so nice, doesn't sound like you're going to learn any lessons, plus this is the internet so fuck you man you suck. You need to understand that the average person does not understand how to mount bindings themselves that is why they pay to bring them to a pro. They trust the shop with ther safety and also there investment as we all know none of this shit is cheap. then the shop has some ass hat like you mouth breathing in the back fucking peoples shit up constantly. TIRED!? fuck off man I used to walk to work uphill both ways barefoot.
Lol everyone apparently forgot that Kevin contributes only shit posts to this site. When he joined it was so bad I thought he was a bot for like 3 months. Then just realized he was retarded. But kudos Kevin, this is by far your best post.
