It may not be the best in the city, but there's a good chance someone has actually taken a course, not sure how indepth, to use the machine.

Well maybe things have changed, it has been a few years for sure.
When I was working there, they let pretty much anyone jump on that machine if they were interested in it. If it was a busy Saturday and the tech guys were working on ski tune ups, they would throw pretty much any sucker on that machine to help get rid of the lineup.
Regardless, I am staying away from that place when it comes to sharpening my skates. If it works for others, great.
