I went a couple weeks ago for a trim. I called the day before asking about walk-ins and they were more than happy to help me. So I went the next day. The lady who was asked if she could fit me in looked me up and down replying no I can't.
I told the other lady I didn't mind waiting. I knew it was a Friday and shops are busier. She asked if I could come back later that day. I said no problem. Then she said the time. It was only another hour. I was put off by that because why would I leave for an hour if I stated I didn't mind waiting. Whatever. I leave and come back the original lady who said no to me was in her chair watching tiktoks about the hurricane and they started to make really distasteful jokes about the people in the hurricane. I got up and left, just happened my best friend who I hadn't heard from in 3 days was calling! (She was in the worst of the storm for over 6hrs)
I have never felt more uncomfortable trying to give someone my money for a service. Sad because they were walking distance from my new home and would have become a regular
I will add that the jokes about the hurricane got to me because that's where I lived for 13 years and have many friends and family there. Which some I didn't know if they were still alive or have a home still.
