I went in here today as a NEW customer- I had 2 winter coats that both needed buttons sewn on and 1 coat needed to be cleaned, also.. I'm sort of assuming the guy at the counter was the owner, his name was NOD, or DON and he just had his name tag on backwards.. Anyway, his attitude was a little off-setting, like he was in a huge rush (I was the only customer in there), and it seemed as though he had no idea what he was doing, or what the seamstress was capable of doing regarding a leather jacket.. but whatever, I needed my coats taken care of..
Here's the problem- he was rushing to enter things into the computer and print out all these tickets with the wrong instructions on them without paying any attention to certain details I was trying to point out to him. He actually got annoyed because my coat had a belt on it that he didn't see and that was a "separate piece!" (very huffily).. He never made any indication on my coats, on my tickets or in the computer about what specific things I needed done, and threw all my items into a bin.. So I left with ZERO confidence that what I needed done, was going to be done correctly.. Not a good start as a new customer..
I then left the store realizing I failed to mention I needed all the buttons tightened, as well. So I start to turn around, but was honestly hesitant and uncomfortable about going back and telling him because of the attitude he gave me the first time.. which I have no idea why..
I go back in, and he looks at me with this look of annoyance, like- what. I very nicely, and sort of nervously say- oh, I'm so sorry, I forget to mention I needed the buttons tightened, also.. he looks at me like its a total inconvenience, and like, are you kidding me!? Just a total nasty attitude. I'm like- is that ok? (very nicely). And he's like- yea (total nasty attitude).
I left feeling worse than I felt the first time I left. I started driving away, and decided to turn around and just get my coats. Which I did. And he said nothing to me.... no curiosity WHY I decided to take my coats back... ?
I'm a nice, easy going person, and had no care about the cost of all these things I needed done... so, what kind of business owner treats a NEW customer like that!?
