newbie85 94 Report post Posted May 14, 2020 Typical of a “Bean Counter” can only look at one side of a balance sheet. Cut cost, cut cost, cut cost Does not have the ability to come up with any new ideas to “ Generate More Income” Wars are not won by the side that retreats !!!!!!

newbie85 94 Report post Posted May 14, 2020 So instead of no longer having On Course Operators I would keep them on and train them to generate more income. The secret to increasing turnover in a business is getting the customer to spend more when they visit. We all get asked by the 15yo kid at McDonalds " would you like fries with that" or "would you to to upsize to a large meal" yet we never get asked at the Races. eg.... If you went to have a bet lets say "$5.00 eah way on #'s 1 and 5 a trained operator might suggest you take a quinella or add a 3rd horse in a Boxed Trifecta or would you like to take a Treble etc etc. These people have never been trained to sell.......WHY NOT Insider, 47South and Aaron Bidlake 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 1,084 Report post Posted May 14, 2020 People go to the window with x dollars in their hand. They go to McDonald's with an eftpos card. They don't have to fish around for more cash. When I think about it, we definitely are getting towards a cashless society. People are bitching about the end of cheques. I'm 73 and hardly written a cheque since the mid 90s. We really do need to move into the 21st century where technology is concerned. tasman man 11, JJ Flash and Black Kirrama 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have to move on with the technology, but what happens when you go home after a day at the races and the Mrs logs into Internet Banking and see's 10 and possiblly more EFTPOS withdrawl transactions..... yikes.!!! Also could mean you could be spending beyond your means to try and make up for you losses....At least going with dollars in your pocket, then once its gone its gone.. arjay and tasman man 11 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Structural changes have obviously been made by NZTR and HRNZ re venues. TAB staff reductions underway and revenues begin to accrue once racing and sports begin.
