Remember the WalMart that has the grooming shop in Franklin TN? We had a long thread on it on the old board. I was at that WalMart today and stopped to look at the porfolio they have on the table outside the window. A goomer in the window was doing a very badly matted collie. Tons of hair everywhere. A man (turned out to be the manager or owner I think) came out to talk to me while I looked in the book. At first he asked me about my dogs but I told him I was looking in it because I was in grooming school. He seemed very interested in this and started to tell me all about the salon. I didn't ask him anything about anything he did all the asking and when I left he gave me his name and the name of the other manager and told me to call when I got out of school. I did ask him if they pay on commission and he said they will pay commission or salary it is up to the groomer what they want. He told me all his groomers had gone to Concord Grooming School in Knoxville. I didn't even know there was a school in Knoxville. A man did come over and ask about grooming his 18lb short hair dog (he wasn't sure what it was, he said it looks like a "Daxund dog"(love peoples accent from TN)!
The man quoted him 45 dollar charge for a full groom. If anyone remembers the old thread they had a husky at 35 when they opened.
Not sure I want to work there but honestly I'd groom dogs at McDonalds when I get out of school if they will pay me.
He was a very nice man and seemed honestly interested.
