Thank you guys for your compliments. She didn't leave my side all night. Well, actually my feet. I woke up really early this morning thinking about it. I wanted to put everything behind me, but I really do think I should call the owner because I think the lady wanted to pocket $70 because she only wanted cash. She also didn't give me a reciept. I wrote a check so I hope she doesn't write some numbers in because I DID NOT tip her. I also want to warn the owner in case the manager has the power to cash the check herself. I know the manager is money hungry because she told me that she deserved something for driving there because she wasn't getting paid for it. The reason I gave her the $45 is because the buisness did do the work I requested, so I thought that was fair. I would only accept it as free if they suggested it.
So here are some tips for the groomers because I don't want anyone to get away with this and keep their baby from them. I was kind of scared because sometimes my atm card doesn't work with some ATMs, what if I couldn't get cash? What if I hadn't had the extra $25 she wanted? Here is what I will do from now on and what I recommend.
*Ask to see the card with your information on it and make sure they wrote it down correctly. (I had filled out a paper with them, someone had transferred my phone information onto the card incorrectly.)
*Ask them for their emergency numbers.
*Ask for some type of drop off slip stating the type of dog you dropped off, the time to pick up, and your name.
I was kind of scared that they might have been trying to steal her because I told her that she is quality and not fixed. But I did not accuse her of it because it is not popular to steal cats around here. Had it have been my yorkie Brandy, I would have accused her because she is much younger and worth $1500+ here in San Diego. Yorkies get stolen all the time. But I was thinking that I was kind of screwed, if she said that I did not drop her off I had NO proof that I did. I will call the owner in a bit as it is still early over here.
