So...I live in Fonthill and I try to shop locally to help the business people during this incredible difficult time.
I could have called J & J florist, but I thought I would go in, browse and do a very covid friendly, mask on , 6' away visit.
I wanted to order a $70 ish fresh flower arrangement to be delivered tomorrow to St Catharines.
There was two other people in the store .very large store...I walked toward the counter and the ( I assume owner) , sent the other gentleman away in a different section. I said I could wait until that customer was finished. The owner said, in a very harsh, nasty tone, no, that he couldn't have two people in the same area as he would be fined $10,000.
I said, well, we are wearing masks, 6' apart
(by now I am the only customer within 20')?
and I think that is allowed? There were 3 of us and I couldn't even see the others. Well, he went a little crazy, told me he will not have a customer walk into his business and tell him what to do!! I simply said I am leaving..He asid get out, get out now!!!
Oh, am did I mention I am a senior? No threat here???
I have never, ever, been treated like this as a
customer and I will never go back or order flowers from a third party that may use their services.
Horrible experience...I was upset the rest of the day! I called the Watering Can Florist that made all the flowers for our daughter and our sons weddings ..just absolutely beautiful.
So much for supporting your community. Shame on your behavior!
