May seem reasonable and quality of work may even be good, but not worth the emotionally abusive nature of any interactions with this businessman.
He appears nice and friendly- maybe a little too casual, but i guess is abut unhinged and angry inside.
A customer just wants acknowledgement, promptness and end of story- not your drama.
This business owner's unprofessional, and belittling demeanor made me surprisingly uncomfortable.
-------------------------------
May have been busy or stressed, but this does not mean you should ignore customers and patronize them when they make a kind request, calling them "Miss Special, or Mrs Important."
Without going into details about he, he didn't even start my service, which was one quick pair of shears-I left and said I'd be back-but didn't even acknowledge me. When I came back later was chitchatting with someone with a lot of knives still did his thing and didn't acknowledge me and finally reached out to grab a piece of equipment and at this point, I knew he hadn't even done my shears and I had to leave.
He angrily spouted something about "I have all this Shi! to..."
First, patronizing me and then shouting epithets at me?!?
He not only failed to communicate at all, but to call a spade a spade, gaslit me on an attempt to kind of "put me in my place. "
I'm still flabbergasted an hour later.
I recommend a lot of caution to anyone considering his services, and I hate to say this, especially a woman-- as a whole interaction was a waste of my time, but more so felt dismissive and mocking.
Toxic Business Owner
Perplexed about everything, I mentioned this to several teacher friends of mine, one who speculated that this man may have been racist- which is scary to me- because I've never encountered any such thing in my area. read more
