I wouldn't mind the shop owner taking more but my main complaint was the bather half a$$ed washed our dogs they were always coming back to us dirty and god forbid if u complained. It didn't help that they were friends so our complaints went unheard. Its great fun trying to make the best out of grooming a dirty dog. If u rewashed u got b*****d at. It was a no win situation. I have to say my grooming sucked there u can't make a dirty dog look its best There was a bathing system (the cheapest type u could buy) and u know that's supposed to make bathing easier but it made it worse dogs were getting half washed in record time. I always snuck and rewashed my yorkies lol I have a yorkie reputation to uphold. It was horrible. Just thinking about the experience makes me beyond mad. However it makes me appreciate my wonderful working conditions now and my clients dogs look great. One more rant and I swear I'm done. They skimped on everything. They had to be just pocketing the extra money. Wasn't much because it was a slow salon. Ok rant done lol. Thank god I moved on to bigger and better things.
