Angry How long for dry cleaning/laundry?????

Ok, I know this is petty, but......

Dropped off 2 jackets and a dress Sat to be dry cleaned. They told me it would be ready Tues. My ticket states Monday after 9 PM.

Ok, I was a doof and went yesterday (thinking, I worked 2 days so this must be Tues, right?) and was told they would be ready TUESDAY!! Of course, I was embarrassed because I went first on Mon,.

Anyway, went today at 6:45 PM. They looked and looked for my clothes. Then: "Oh, Mum, not ready until after 9 PM" as she scratches thru the MONDAY 9 PM notice on my receipt and writes Tuesday 9 PM!!!! "See, Mum, Tuesday 9 PM" Oh, my blood was boiling!! She wanted me to come back then to pick my clothes up.

Ok, I was a b%tch and said, no, you told me Tuesday, today is Tuesday, my receipt says after 9 PM MONDAY, you will DELIVER my clothes to me!! (and they just delivered them to my flat!!!)

Ok, rant over. Question:

You can't tell me that to get things dry cleaned here it takes 3 friggin' days?? Please tell me this is not the norm?

And does anyone know of a cleaner near the Greens but NOT the one in the Green Village????

Hi Nickel,
seems like you live in the Greens...we do...but have not used those dry cleaners in the village yet. I think they are a branch of Butler's...

anyway, our neighbour praises these guys.....the pick up and deliver...maybe you want to give it a try...

02 The Concierge is their name

Cheerio and good luck
Lenochka
