NO need for a garbage can...just had a guy here for a lettering job on his semi...he waited to take off the old vinyl until here got here to use our shop...no problem.
The problem was...and I hope I doesn't offend anyone here, but this is definitely not our practice....as he was removing the OLD vinyl as, opposed to putting it in the garbage can I had set right by him....it nonchalantly went right in his mouth!!
Chewing away...seemingly happy as can be.
We never saw him spit it out before he left.
Should I have offered him a snack?...maybe gummy bears?...twizzlers?...NEW vinyl?
Could this guy be the reason they took the lead out of lettering paint?
This may not be the worst a customer could do...lets here some stories...

I had a guy come in and ask if we had magnetic material... He wanted to buy four feet of it. I sold it to him and he promptly took off his shirt and wrapped it around himself. Said it worked great for backaches...

Glen, if you would just stop patting yourself on the back, you wouldn't have those shoulder problems... Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Seriously, you hear about the healing powers of magnets and such. Why Not?

I havent bought bandaids in years. Anytime I cut myself I slice off a strip off cast vinyl and wrap it around the wound. Stays on even in water. You can even chose a color to match your clothing that day.

I'm surprised the magnetic sign material helped him. Magnetic sign material has a fraction of magnetic strength compared to bio magnet therapy mags. The polarity is not arranged for proper healing either. The Nikken company spent 2 million dollars on research to find the arrangment of the magnetic material for best healing which is very small bars arranged in a trianglar pattern.

ProMagnum Man says it helps.... Who am I to argue? I charged him roughly 15 bucks a foot. What did I care what he did with it? Hahahahahahahahahaha!
