We have been investing in some particularly expensive clothing lately, due to the fact that we are getting older, but mainly because we are both so tall, that were having a LOT of difficulty finding things that fit us properly. We finally were able to purchase my second item of nice clothing, a skirt. Well, I wore it once and spilled a little something on it and we took it to the cleaners. As I was setting my clothes out for work, I realized that my brand new skirt had acid burns all over it and starch! The skirt was a wool blend, which you dont starch. I informed Ryan of this situation and of course its irritating. We looked over a few of his shirts that we had cleaned and found that they had ruined one of his silk shirts and his favorite shirt had what appears to be a bleach mark. We got online and researched what happens when people go back to the cleaners demanding payment for destroyed clothing. Of course, the cleaner never pays. However, if you file suit they always pay the bill then. We are now at a crossroads. Should we sue the dry cleaner over clothing that is worth quite the hefty amount or let is slide? Before getting in bed last night we agreed that we would just file with the Better Business Beauro. Today Im sitting here thinking about this further and its really upsetting me. I think we should file suit. Not many people take pride in their work, and that is a sad thing, but when that effects those people who work hard and take pride in their work so that they can afford things its frustrating. I couldnt imagine doing something like this at my own job. I would never do horrible or destructive work. I have a bit more respect for myself and others than that.
