F@#$#*?!
: BIRD SH@!. After explaining the mud to her a couple of times and
: still getting the bird sh@! response, I was about to get up and
kick
: her @$$!
The worst situation I have had so far as far as rudeness is
concerned, i had a couple of sisters come in my shop they had a
picture drawn of a foot with so much design and detail, I think I MAY
have been able to do it with a pencil. I proceeded the pattern with
every 2 minutes one of them saying to the other"Sue, she is really
messing up our design". I would stop what I was doing and ended up
wipping off paste over and over again. AFter over an hour, I was
ready to WIG OUT. Finally I was smart enough to hand the one sister
a pencil and tell her to design it just like she wants and I would
follow that and stain. WE all got through it. but it was the
hardest $25 I ever had to earn. But it taught me patience. my next
customer was so happy with everything that I did, I was so HAPPY>>>
I guess that is another reason for "PRoblem Customers" it sure does
help you appreciate the good ones.
