Lazy
F Guest Ranch Pricing and/or Lazy F Working Ranch Pricing
"WHAT
YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU PAY"
$195/day/person (includes taxes and gratuity) In fact, all our prices include tax and gratuity!!
Almost
every other dude, resort, guest or working ranch gives you a "Base Price"
and
tells you to "add tax and gratuity". Ok about tax but I have a problem
lying about "gratuity". I only use the word "gratuity" because other ranches
use the word "gratuity". (read explanation at bottom)
I give you the final price with tax and "gratuity" figured for you. This is the European Way and I like it. You take the price per activity and multiply by the number of times you want to do it and that is what you pay. (No "hidden" costs)
If I were pricing like other ranches, then I would say..
Lazy
F Base Price = $163.80/night/person
(add tax and gratuity) (in itty bitty print
at the bottom)
Suddenly,
comparing us to other ranches, price wise, looks MUCH better!!
Adding
6% Texas Hotel Tax ($11.70) and 10% Gratuity ($19.50) = $195
(remember
tax and gratuity are calculated from the final price of $195,
not
the "base" price of $163.80)
"Gratuity" makes
you think I give my cowboys and cowgirls "something extra" because I charge
you a "gratuity".
Bet you believe
the "Tooth Fairy" gives you $100 for every tooth you lose in a bar fight,
Dude! Let me take you to the
"Eight Ball"
Club near here and when you come out, hold your teeth in one hand and hold
your other hand out for a "gratuity."
If you get bored,
look for a Scarecrow searching for the Wizard of Oz. Follow him to the
Wizard and ask him for the same thing the Scarecrow wants.
Or stand there,
click your heels, and repeat the words over and over, "Pain Brings Experience
and Experience Brings Wisdom!"
What "Gratuity"
REALLY means is ... "more money for the ranch" but it sounds nicer. Like
the government!!
Let me hand you
the "Clue Phone" and tell you I pay tax and the "gratuity" goes in my pocket
to feed horses, etc or
take my daughter
to the movies. (more like, pay for more "text messaging!!")
WHAT IS A FACT
I pay my young
cowhands, like my 16 year old daughter and her friends from high school,
who have worked
here since they were 5 years old, the same wages I pay an adult.
The same pay
for the same work. Colonel Allen's Constitutional Amendment for Women and
Young People.
