Golftown Re-Grip Event

$2.50 is ridiculous as a labour charge, just stand near them when they change a grip, it literally takes a minute for them to change a grip. So let's say 15 minutes for an entire set, that's like paying a lawyer to change your grips. I get going to 40% off for grips but to up the price to change the grip going up by 80% is gauging IMHO.

just change them yourselves - easy peasy. I am sure they are much faster than me but there is no way I could change a grip in 1 minute or even close, especially if you are removing the old tape.

And it's not just their time, you are paying for their shop, costs of running it, supplies to change grips, and other overhead. I am sure little profit is made in doing this. The goal is to get people into the store in an otherwise dead time of the year so hopefully they make other purchases.
