Reply to comment by New_Sun6390 in Will business ever return to normal operating procedures? by ptmtp26

Todays particular headache was attempting to get some embroidery done on some sweatshirts. I had the sweatshirts, I had some free time at the end of the week, and I had money to spend. I called 3 business’s that didn’t answer their phones despite Google and websites claiming they were open, and then I drove by 2 more and swung in to find open by appointment only signs taped next to their business hours signs, claiming that they were open.

I finally found someone who was open, I placed my order and told him I was so happy someone decided they wanted to work. He also said he’s picked up more business this year because other places were backlogged or had similar problems to what I was experiencing. It’s working for him, but he doesn’t know what their issues are.

I was glad to give a business who was open and inviting to customers some business.

It isn't that nobody else wants to work, they are just so busy that they are going by appointment only. They're still working.

With the entitled attitude you have, it is probably a good thing that those business are dodging you. You aren't the most important person in the world. If a business is so busy that they need to go to appointments only, then get an appointment like everyone else. You aren't special.

Yea… based on my experience today, everything you just stated was a waste of your time to write and mine to read.

As I’ve already stated, when I did find a business that was open during their normal business hours, they have picked up more business due to others lack of availability. “By appointment only” isn’t available, it’s hoops no one wants to jump through except a noisy few who enjoy ignorance and inconvenience.

Just because a store is appointment only does not mean they aren't open during their normal business hours. A doctor's office has normal business hours, but most medical practices don't let you just walk in and see a doctor without an appointment.

I'm also not sure how requiring an appointment equates to ignorance. Who are all these noisy people demanding that everything is appointment only? I'm not even sure what the problem is. You found someone who did the work you wanted without an appointment, right? Problem solved.

When the boss said to go home we’re done for the week, I went home. I’ve got more than enough other “work” to be doing.

So no one else is allowed to go home but you?

So your complaint really had nothing to do with your problem then.

We’ll the original 5 business’s were a lot more conveniently located.

And it absolutely did. Open your store. Be at your place of business at take my money. If you have business hours, practice them; don’t post them and then slap a by appointment only sign.

Probably a shitty embroidery shop, that's why they are force to pick up the garbage costumers the other shops don't have the need to deal with. Just by your recollection you have to go through a list of businesses before even getting to the one that served you. That says a lot of i had to go down to my fith choice of something it either means i should probably have some patience and call a few time or hold off on doing it till later. But it seems your have some heavy narcissistic tendencies so this will go over your head.
