How do we keep new people from excessive frustration?

[Frog]

I have a franchise place a few miles away that is in its second go-round. The first guy bailed a couple of years back and moved to his garage.
The new folks, pay for a street visible location, as well as attract walk-ins from a restaurant next door, and didn't even have a dozen white shirts on hand for a digital transfer or dtg  job that ended up at my place. for that reason.
How the heck am I ever going to close down in a couple of years if folks keep running their businesses like that? I was initially counting on a decline in business as an excuse to close down.
Maybe I should invite the owners here (if they haven't found us already)

btw, my buddy Tom who had a long running shop just around the corner from the then-new franchise a few years ago initially lost some business, but slowly saw many customers come back as the quality was not there. How much can a new franchise operator learn in their weekend training session? And it's not just screen printing, but embroidery, and DTG and cut transfers and the whole shebang. All at once!

Owner of aforementioned first-go-around franchise is "friends" (rotary club?) with my new neighbor.

Came in and saw my shop a few days ago. Totally awkward moment. I'm some retarded punk.
He's now a business coach or something. (those who can't do, teach?)

Weird.

I didn't read all the responses ( I will ), but Doug's talk about coating a screen brought back an interesting analogy.
So I had this new guy I was training, who had absolutely no concept of liquids...
no sh*t folks, he tipped the coater and poured it all over everything EXCEPT the screen.
( I had shown him a few times, but I guess he wasn't paying any attention to that )
While this is happening, he gives me a dumb look like, what should I do now?
lol.
Kids these days.
He learned to be a decent enough printer, never let him near emulsion after that though.
he did learn how to clean up a major clusterf*cked  pink stain all over the floor.

lol.

Only you guys would ever hear that story, who the heck else could I share it with?
Cheers.
