I just got cursed out ... RANT

So i just called this customer of my dry cleaners to let her know our policy and what we do in a situation when good are damaged during the cleaning process that is abnormal and due to the material and circumstances. She told me that she got stains on it that was cake or coffee six months ago and hasn't cleaned it since. When we put chemicals (basic dry cleaning) on it the fabric just burned. so either the coffee reacted to it or if it was cake then bugs could've gotten into it. Whatever the situation was we would reimburse her for her dress accordingly to the policy. I guess she didn't like the policy and wanted 400 dollars. She started to curse and even threatened my life and my business. So i wanted to get this off my chest. Not a good day but i'm not going let one crazy irrational person ruin my day. So if She wants to "make my F***ing life a living hell" + ***** calling x 30 then let it be. Money can't buy class or humanity

    Ha, I would have told that dirty skank that I hoped she washed her panties more often than she washed her dresses ::P

    You were just used as an emotional punching bag by someone who obviously makes lots of poor decisions. Not fair or fun! I'm sorry :(

    Call the police. If she actually threatened your life ( even if she was just venting) that is NEVER cool and should not be tolerated.

    At least she was offered a new dress through your policy. Some places don't do that and leave it as the customer's responsibility. Some people aren't grateful at all.

    Wow someone is crazy. If she cared that much about the dress, she should have had it cleaned sooner.

    I know what you mean. I work in the medical feild and Ive had patients act like that when they dont get what they want. People dont understand that buisnesses have policies and depending on the profession have to follow certain laws.

    If she threatened your life.........I would totally tell her that I am going to call the cops and report that she is threatening to kill you over a piece of clothing. Just in case she does decide to do something crazy.

    I would start documenting anytime she's called etc and I agree call the police and get a restraining order if you have too you just never know what people are capable of these days you know.

    Don't let it get you down :-( she sounds like she's taking out her bitterness on you and her attitude isn't going to get her very far in life. If she isn't happy with being reimbursed to any extent, that's her problem. It sucks to be her but she should be more careful about clothing if it really costs that much money.

    I hope you get better customers to make up for that <3
  • I agree with the others. If she's threatening your life and business over a dress then you need to call the cops. Not only has she threatened you but now she's harrassing you if she's calling 30x's or so.

    Yuck!!
