I would give 0 stars if it were possible. This was by far (and I'm not exaggerating) the single worst experience I've had with any business ever. I should say first, the staff was polite for the most part. (with some very notable exceptions.) However, when it comes to the quality of their service there are quite a number of problems. First of all they ruined the thing I asked them to clean. It was a white hat and It was less than 2 days old. It had probably been worn for less than 4 hours total. I got a little smudge on the back while drinking coffee so I took it to wright cleaners at 103 Bayfield st in Barrie. I asked the lady behind the counter if they could remove it and expressed my concern that it may ruin the hat if they try to dry clean it. I was assured that they would do a great job and that I had nothing to worry about. (Her exact words) When I returned to pick up the hat two days later, the front was totally smushed and wavy (as if it had been sat on) and the stitching and fabric in the back had shrunk and scrunched up. It was totally ruined and looked ridiculous. I alerted the counter staff to this problem immediately and they had me fill out an incident report. I was told to return after the weekend so the manager could have a chance to inspect the damage. So I went back on the following Monday but unfortunately the manager decided to skip work that day. (Apparently they had some problem with their phones or something and he couldn't make it.) So I went back the next day (it's now been 5 days!) and finally, the manager was in. He had tried to fix the damage they had done before I got there but it was very clearly still ruined. However, this enlightened soul decided to start yelling at me, pretending that I made the whole thing up, interrupting me when I would try to show him the problem, and generally being very aggressive. (At one point he even said "lets go out to the parking lot and I'll deal with you out there" as if he were trying to intimidate me. Which he didn't, and so out to the parking lot we went.) All I wanted was for them to replace the hat they had ruined. It was for all intents and purposes brand new when I gave it to them. (Minus the smudge on the back) and as far as I'm concerned that's just reasonable. Unfortunately it turned into a childish argument very quickly and the manager tried to put on some kind of tough guy routine to Scare me off. (Even though he looked about as tough as soggy marshmallow.) It was clear they were not going to do the professional thing and replace the hat they ruined. I even heard the manager say "let me show you how to get rid of someone" to one of his employees on the way out to talk to me. He hadn't even said hello to me yet at that point. But I guess his mind was made up, and he decided to be an unprofessional jackass and absolutely refuse to fix his mistake. Like a toddler refusing his vegetables. I went to the store where I bought the hat afterwards to get pictures for a sort of "before and after". But keep in mind the hat in the store is literally brand new while the one I gave them was a day and a half old. But it was pretty much brand new as well(minus a small smudge in the back). I can't include the pictures on here but you can find the google review and judge for yourself. But I must caution you,
