First, show the employee exactly how you want the job done. If you want the employee to just replace water heaters, just show them how to turn a wrench. If you want the employee to be courteous to the customer and explain things in detail, show them how to do that, too.

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers and says, I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers and I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.
