Call Before You Come
Save yourself a trip. Call before you go and see if they have it ready for you.
This is one of those things that “everyone already knows.” But when you drop a dress off to be altered and they say it will be ready on the 19th… don’t you expect it to be ready on the 19th? Especially if the 19th is 2 weeks away?
Well, I learned the hard way to not count on it. It’s a shame that I can’t trust the tailor to do what they say they’re going to do, because now I won’t be able to trust anyway to do something they say they’re going to do… at least until I forget about the 70 extra minutes I spent in traffic. At least Val had her cell phone so she was able to make calls, catch up, and make plans with people while we slowly drifted along the expressway river.
Do yourself a favor, and remember to call before you come. Don’t just pop it over, out the blue-oo-oo-oo.
