My number one expectation for a class is promptness! The instructor should be ready to go at the stated time of the class and all attendees should be in place. I hate it when a class is scheduled for 9 am, the instructor putzes around until 9:20 and then someone says "oh we have to wait for Mary ha ha she's always late". Start the class within 5-10 min of the stated starting time. Don't cater to late-comers. I have so many obligations that taking a class is a luxury and if it starts/runs late, I usually have to leave. Sorry to sound like an old grouch but this has happened at 2 or 3 classes I attended so I've quilt signing up. Good luck, have fun!
What jan RN said. I paid as much as the late person did. They CHOSE to be late (unless there's an accident or some such) and class should start without them. In which case, they should call, so the shop knows what happened. I recently took a class and they waited for a person who is habitually late (according to the comments). It has turned me off taking any more classes from this store. And my supplies alone were $125-150 all bought at that place. Then the class was listed at $35 but they charged $40 even though I pointed out the price difference. They've lost my business over 20 minutes and $5. I cannot abide lateness. It shows a serious disregard for others. Also, charge the listed price. And no, I'm not going to make a big scene about it, as I vote with my feet. It all goes to good sense. And be organized like Sewnoma said.
