Such a disappointing experience.
I took them two shirts my Husband needed for a trip. Both white. When I picked them up on the way to the airport the one hanging in the front was clearly still dirty. Michael (the owner) apologized and said he would re-clean it. I went to the car to pack the other white shirt....and sure enough it was also still dirty. I went back in to show him and he was clearly embarrassed. I took it on the trip b/c we were attending a "white party" and I had to show up with at least one white shirt. (Of course my Husband did not want to wear a dirty shirt to a party so we bought a new one $150-awesome).
So upon our return I took the shirt back to Michael, along with a jacket and two dresses of mine. He was kind and said he was so sorry for the shirts not being cleaned properly and I said I was willing to give them a 2nd chance b/c we were/are new to the area and everyone deserves a 2nd chance. He thanked me and said "This is all on me, I will note it in the file so there is no problem when you pick up."
I was IMPRESSED and glad to be giving it a 2nd go.
Well I came back to pick up the items and the woman rang me up for $50. I explained that it was to be covered. She said no. I said I would come back when Michael was working, but she called Michael and in the end I spoke to him on the phone. He said I must have misunderstood and what was "on him" was re-cleaning the white shirt I HAD ALREADY paid for! I told him that was the craziest thing I had ever heard of and in the end he agreed to give me 50% off...but that took some doing.
Fine. BUT one of my dresses was still being "worked" on. I said I would just pay when I came back for all of it later.
So I come back later and a young man, David, explains to me "Michael would never have told you this was free, we don't do that." Ok. FIne. I misunderstood. We have established this earlier.
So he rings me up-$50. WHAT? No, Michael said 1/2 off. So David essentially calls me a liar a 2nd time "He most certainly did not." Umm, yes he did, ask that gal over there. They have a conversation in their language...and then he waves her off and says "I'll just do it to be done with you!" (My guess is he did it because she confirmed what Michael had agreed to).
So then he tells me my total is $34. Hmmm....after another go-around he agrees that is not half and alters it to a lower number.
Then he shows me that the stains on my dress that they could not get out. So I check the other dress, sure enough-also still dirty.
So in the end they made $25, lost a customer and gained a TON of bad PR. I got two dirty dresses that need to go to the cleaners:-( read more
