I've been taking mom with me to get a pedicure to the same salon for three years. For both of us, the shop gets $80-$90. Now, mom can't make it onto the pedicure 'throne' because she can't get up the step. So I called to make sure they could still do it.
"No, we wouldn't be able to."
"Can't you just put her in a regular chair with a small plastic dishtub that costs $2 at the Dollar Store? Hell, I could bring it with me."
"No, we'd have to have a way to raise her feet off the ground."
Unfreakin' believable.
THAT'S why businesses fail.
I called two other salons that said the same thing. Finally, a third one said they could cut and polish her toes but not cut her cuticles. We'll go there.
But honestly? Don't people want to make money today? Don't people think outside the box?? I thought this was a shew-in. Boy. Wrong again.
