Oh, No! If It Isn’t The Consequences Of My Own Actions!, Part 3
My husband is getting his hair cut while I wait for him. The salon is in a mall, so it’s generally pretty busy, but this is a rainy Saturday, so it is VERY busy. A woman in her fifties walks in with her mother around 11:45.
Customer: “[Customer] for an appointment at 11:30.”
Stylist: “We have you down for a 12:30.”
Customer: “Well, I need 11:30.”
Stylist: “I see. Unfortunately, we are fully booked today, so—”
Customer: “So, figure it out. I drove fifteen minutes to get to you, and I have an appointment. My mother can barely walk, and you’re going to make us come back again? I might as well cancel and take my business elsewhere if that’s how it’s going to be.”
Stylist: “Okay, ma’am, I will remove you from our system. Have a nice day.”
The stylist smiles politely and walks away. The customer is left standing there, open-mouthed.
Customer: “Hello? Hello, I’m not done talking to you. Hello! Excuse you!”
Customer’s Mother: “That’s enough, [Customer]. You opened your mouth; now you deal with the consequences. Let’s go.”
Customer: “I need my hair cut, Mom!”
The mother walked away — not remotely limited in movement as her daughter had implied — and the daughter soon followed. The stylist returned and apologized for the commotion.
