A few years ago we had a fire next door. I'm standing on the sidewalk in front of my shop w/ the windows and doors smashed, the stench of smoke all around me and I'm crying. My first client of the day walks up asks what happened and then asks me if I can go inside, get my tools and do her service at her house!!!!! WTF!!!!!
Fortunately, I have wonderful loving clients that I count as friends, even if only while they're at my table, and they FAR outnumber these selfish types.
