Today I had a very sad experience at this children gymnastic place and it really broke my hearth. Every weekend I take my son at this kids gymnastic place here in Sugar Land, TX called ?Bill Austin Gymnastic?. Well today 05.30.2008 was the closing of the year and they had this big event where all the parents were invited to watch their children perform everything they?ve learned during the full year. My wife and I were really excited and along with my one year and a half daughter headed to the gymnastic place.The performance was awesome and you could see happy kids and parents everywhere. At the end of the performance all the kids from the class got a certificates along with a high five. While exiting the gymnastic area each kid will get a lollypop from one of Bill?s staff. When one of the staff members handed a lollypop to my one and a half year old daughter another staff member rudely said that if she does not have a certificate in her hand she shouldn?t get a lollypop. In all honesty I am shocked and I hand back to them the lollypop from my daughters hands. You should?ve seen the look on my daughters face along with her crying violently. Well I said maybe this is just a rude staff member and I said, let me talk to Bill Austin. I walk back inside and I ask Bill to talk to me in a private corner where we did. Bill Austin rather than being apologetic and compassionate about the entire situation he started giving me hard time about not having enough lollypops for the kids in the class and he couldn?t afford to give lollypops to all the other kids. My comment to him was, when you have small kids in his facility it will be nice to hand lollypops to all kids and not discriminate, specially when you host an event like this and try to get more business After all a lollypop is just a 10 cents or so and is not going to break his bank. At that point he got really out of shape and started screaming at his staff in front of everybody to hand me a box full of ?lollypops?.
