If it is crowded don't take a break!!!

[catycatcat4]

I'm curious, did YOU ask the employee what she was doing and why was she taking a break when there was so many people?

My brother wouldn't let me

And as for acting online how i do offline i don't hesitate to defend my self or any one else just like online.

Why didn't you use the salon across the street that you ending up going to anyway in the first place then?

1) Big scary busy street between us people have gotten hit on it even though there is a cross walk people still ignore the colors of the lights and the people crossing it was worth a shot to try the.

It is puzzling: The expectation on the part of many consumers regarding the mass-market crafting offerings custom-tailored to their own specifications seems to be increasing, while the willingness of said customers to pay a premium for superior and customized service seems to be decreasing: The gulf between what is expected and what is reasonable to expect is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Yet, you were able to get there on previous visits? I'm very confused by this.

If there were so many customers and only the one employee it sounds to me like you would have been in for a long wait regardless of whether or not she took a break So, if you did not want a long wait, AND You have a history of not liking the results at this place then the smart thing to do would have been to go to the other shop in the first place Just be ultra carefelu corsing that street--I mean if you were willing to cross it when she took her break then you ARE willing to cross it so I do not see how that factors into the story).

Maybe she just didn't care about teh customers and hoped many of you would leave if she dissapeared in back for a while.
Maybe it was when she had to take a break and she didn't feel obligated to tell you this.
Maybe she was feeling light headed and needed to sit for a bit and did not feel good enough to stand around any longer than absloutely neccesary to finish her last customer so she did not take the time to tell anyone this.
Maybe it was soemthing else.

No one knows but this lady, since you did not (politely) ask her.

If I go somewhere that cuts hair for $10 without an appointment I expect the kind of service taht $10 will buy you--stylists told to work fast which often means mediocre results, newer stylists without teh experience to get on somewhere more pleasing to work, minimal serivce and long waits.
If I pay a reasonable price (or much mroe than that at some salons) and have an appointment THEN I expect to be seen close to when I arrive, have the stylist take the time to give me the cut I want (or explain why what I want is not possible with my hair and reccomend alternatives), have a pleasant conversation with the stylist--or be offered a magazie to read, etc. In other words, while I think he couls have said it in a more accessible way-Bicker is right about this. You cannot go into a bargain place and expect high end service.

Pray tell what large metropolitan city in Florida has such a horrific street to cross?

Pray tell what large metropolitan city in Florida has such a horrific street to cross?

Drivers in Florida are among the worst I've encountered, and I have lived in several places including NYC. Seriously!!! In some places in Florida, a yellow light means to speed up not slow down, and it doesn't matter how far from the light you are. When I lived in South Florida, I wouldn't venture into an intersection without looking both ways -- even if I had a green light.

I'm in Central Florida now, and it is a bit better but still.......

Anyway, about the OPost...... I do think the worker is entitled to a break. It would've been nice if she had said something, but I'm sure she didn't feel like dealing with the grief she would have surely been given for it. No doubt it was easier and more pleasant for her to just walk away without a word.

 

[alexandria674]

Personally, since this was a hairstylist, I would prefer she took a break. It was be the worst to have a overwrought person with scissors near my hair.

By the way, OP why are you scared to cross the street? Also, was she the only person there?

 

[KAMLEM]

I couldn't read that without punctuation.

Well you are just gonna have to get over it won't you

Isn't that nice.

There was we don't use this place often they do alot of things thats like ummm ok.

What????

Who? Me? I'm 46.

Then act your age. Just kidding -I think they wanted to know the OP's age.

I had the same reaction to this poster in a previous thread because the comments seemed very immature. Maybe the OP would have better luck posting on the teen board.

 

[DaParkers]

The op is a teenager, so some immaturity is expected, but, maybe she should spend a little more time studying basic grammar.

Ya think?

 

[Free4Life11]

Damn so many high and mighty people on these boards! OP, I would be pissed off too. You don't expect 5-star service, but you DO expect them to do their job and not putz around ignoring customers. I doubt she had been cutting hair for hours and hours straight without a single break....she should have helped the customers, earned her tips, THEN took a break. And I'm pretty sure Florida doesn't have a law requiring breaks for adults. Her actions are probably exactly why she's working at a strip mall salon and not a nicer place.

Like trying to give them selves a tip.
and when you show them what you want from a book and they don't get it.
They don't have a good rep its a last resort/minute thing when we use them.

So they steal money, are lazy,are understaffed, and can't give good haircuts...... why would you go there? It doesn't make any sense.

How old is your brother?

Because its a big four way intersection and at that time of day it was full of cars. Cars that don't seem to look at the light and see that its red and speed off in front of you when you are all most in front of there car!!

Also one thing i just realised is that I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLANE MY SELF TO YOU GUYS! you where not there when it happened.
1: the hairdresser shouldn't have left for a long amount of time with out a word. who ever was in carge of shifts should have had more people working there for a place
2: I know i was right and i don't need you're permission to know so. so you will just have to get used to get over it.

 

[NHdisneylover]

I actually DO think you were right in so far as you left the salon when you realized the service was not up to your standards (and gave your business to someone else). I think you are right that whoever does the scheduling should have had more people there. I can even understand wishing the employee had said she was going on break and for how long (but I can also understand why whould would not do so--either because she knew people would be mean about it or because she did not feel good, etc.). I don't think you are right with the idea that one cannot take a break when their business is busy (so if it is busy for 10 hours straight you just wor non stop) or with expecting that an employee HAS to (or even should) explain why or when s/he is going on break.


I understand this poster has a "young" vibe in her posts (really more immature than young) and that hse is apperntly a teen. I feel writing her off because of her age or insulting other teens by telling her to go to teh teen board (as if everyoen there is equally immature--or wants to be around such immaturity) is uncalled for. I have met plenty of very mature teens--and plenty of immature adults. Age has very little to do with it.

Next time, make an appointment with a hairdresser, it's kind of easier. You should remember though, that if there is only one person working there and having to do hair all day with the other responsibilities of running a stylist shop, there should be some allowances in waiting. You probably would have waited anyways since you said it was busy.

Also, why the hissy-fit? No one was attacking you, they were giving their opinions which on a forum such as this, people tend to do. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't. You get used to it and learn something from criticism (sp?), in my first post I felt like it was harped on, but then again I learned to read what was posted and think things through.

1. Would it have made everythig better if she had said "Hey, I'm on break." Or did you just want her to skip her break until thre crowd thinned? What if it stayed crowded all day?

2. When you post on a message board, you are bound to get replys you don't like so (in your words) you will have to get used to it and get over it.
