What?

I find that a little offensive 'had enough', i am 15 and am my hobby stores only tech guy, i am a self funded racer and work 2 jobs to do so, i organise for my hobby store to run race meets for free, and all we expect is for people to turn up and have fun, we are the only HS for a couple of hours and the way our store keeps customers is keeping them happy, and in return they drive their cars and so buy fuel parts etc. so they have fun driving their rc's and get GOOD advice ( bet that would surprise you coming out of a 15yo huh?). all our repairs are at $7.50 per 15 minutes which is about $22 per hour american. and our money is not made by taking advantage of newb's it is made by fixing peoples cars and telling them how to fix it themselves if they are confident (and that advice come for free) and then we are rewarded by people having their cars going and driving them then loyalty as they buy there parts/fuel/service from us.

Thats how it should be and thats how i (solely, i run the entire r/c section of the store) run it.
