I am so angry!! This isn't a problem where I need any advice, but I
need to
vent. Some of you know that I adopted a beautiful blind kitty (Duffy)
several months ago. Today I had my windows and carpets cleaned. I used
the
same man who has done this cleaning for a number of years -- but this
will
be my last time. First he started to laugh when he saw the cat tree I
got
for Duffy and Holly. I could handle that alright -- I am not
emotionally
attached to furniture. However, when I explained that Duffy is blind
and
what I was trying to accomplish with some of the cat furniture, he
started
laughing again and laughed so hard he couldn't stop. He would stop
momentarily, then say "A blind cat -- that is so funny -- why didn't you
just get rid of it and get a healthy cat" and would laugh again. When I
would intervene, he would say "I'm sorry," then start laughing
uproariously
all over again and say, "But it's just so funny that you would spend all
that money on a blind cat."

This whole thing made me so angry I can hardly describe what I feel.
What
kind of heartless monster would react like that?? Anyway, it will be
his
last time here. I am going to find someone else for the future.


I can understand how you feel some people are so heartless! I know you
didn't ask for advice but if you haven't already I would consider
calling the business owner and explain just why they lost your business.
At the very least it might make you feel better. Take care.

This *is* the business owner. It's a very small cleaning business with only
the owner and 2 or 3 employees. He has now lost a steady customer -- and I
am still mulling over the question of whether I should call or write to let
him know *why* he has lost a customer of several years' standing. He
already knows I am upset by his attitude, but I did not tell him that this
was his last time here.
