Well Hurricane Iselle is here… and apparently it bought in a LOT of inconsiderate people!!!
I’m sure a lot of you saw the price gouging when it came to water… that’s not cool at all!!! But on the flip side, a lot of the consumers have manipulated the truths… Like if you buy a case of the BIGGER bottled water or the fancy stuff, it WILL be more expensive… Pretty everywhere I went recently, the water is still the same price… it may not be on sale, but it’s not like $30 a case!!! Because seriously, in Hawaii, those businesses would be screwed by public opinion and driven out of business!!!
But unlike many of you, I went into work today… not because I wanted to, but because clients INSISTED on coming in, knowing full well that the storm was coming. Yesterday, I offered to reschedule their appointments, but again, they INSISTED. The most comical (and possibly stupidest) resaon for aving to come in is because their voucher was going to expire. So I obliged them and told them I would come in.
So this morning I did. No traffic on the roads, no line at the costco gas station… only Longs was open in Pearlridge (the entire mall was closed). I opened up my office and waited. at 10am, I get the call from my 11am client to see if I was in the office. And then she said she would be coming in. At the same time, my 12pm decided to cancel. Then at 1030am, my 11 decided to say that she cant come in.
The “yelp” perspective of my is that I’m rude, uncaring, and a “horrible asshole” (from that other text)… but I think I went above and beyond to accomodate these clients, and what do I get in return…
INCONSIDERATION
The didn’t care about my safety, they only care about their agendas… THEIR VOUCHER, THEIR MASSAGE, THEIR SAFETY… what about me? They didn’t care that I had to come in and leave my family, (had they come in) that I would have to provide them a good massage, and then I would have to drive home after they left. All they offer is a “ok, sorry”…. and the public still won’t realize that I’m NOT an asshole or rude or inconsiderate…
Julio is right behind Iselle, so I expect more of the same in the not too distant future… Sad to say…
