The cleaning is below average, and the price slightly above average, which is not a great combination and I would give their product a 2/5 star rating, with an additional half star for proximity convenience to my commute, and another half star for the nice new South American business partner. Total 3/5 stars with that combination.
HOWEVER... what I cannot accept is the RUDENESS and the utter DISRESPECT that the woman owner dishes to her customers. I say "customers" because I am not the only one in the comments that is saying this about the woman owner.
I am in the customer service industry and I know that no one or no operation is perfect, and if my product is sub par or a mistake happens, I apologize and inform my client that I will speak to my team and do better next time, and will do our best and try not to let that mistake happen again.
Whether it be her direct operation or the outsourced operation that cause the consistent sub-par cleaning or the occasional mistakes, what she does is completely disregard my complaint and tells me to change my lifestyle, or tells me the mistake is not so bad and I should just ignore it. If my clothes are returned to me not fully cleaned (my old dry cleaners always cleaned them better) or returned damaged (my old dry cleaners never damaged my clothes), whether it is slight or major, it is not her place to tell me how I should wear my clothes. I dirty my cIothes and I pay her to clean my cloths, and hopefully without damaging them. That is the basic premise of a client-dry cleaner relationship.
If she simply was respectful, informed me that she did her best and was sorry that she could not do better, but will always try her best for me, or apologized for the mistake, and that she will speak to her team and try not to let that mistake happen again, I would happily accept her sincere apology and continue to give her business, be it a slightly sub-par product.
At the end of the day, it is just cleaning my clothing. I can live a with a slightly sub-par product. But her RUDENESS and DISRESPECT is absolutely not acceptable, and if I treated my customers like that, i would be fired. Because of that, I will take my business elsewhere.
I feel badly for the new South American guy, which might be a new business partner? He is very nice. The RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL Asian woman owner is killing their reputation/business, and I will have NO part of her. read more
