Hubby met the franchise manager (the guy who went to get the "supplies") at a Chamber of Commerce Meeting. He came over to the house and showed us photos of the company's jobs, discussed what they do and lots of options.Very nice young man who seemed to know what he's doing. We always like to support LOCAL businesses rather that the big nation-wide corporations.

But there are plenty of "nice" people who don't know how to manage a business well. :( In all fairness, I did not manage my private practice well and lost a good bit of money some years ago. :(
No one is qualified for anything here.
Entirely random if you get someone who knows what they are doing or not.
People just decide one morning, "Today, i'm a plumber" and off they go.

I think the main thing that irks me is that the manager said he was going out for "supplies," knowing darn good and well that he was going to the shipping office to pick up the film, which had to be ordered from elsewhere. When I saw that the second guy was just standing around is when i asked what "supplies" the manager was picking up.
The fact that the manager told me "supplies" rather than telling me something like "The film was delivered late and only got in this morning, so I'm off to pick it up" makes its seems like he was being cagy, which I dislike. But I may be overreacting- which I know we ALL tend to to. Once we get angry, then the ball starts rolling and EVERY.LITTLE.THING. becomes an irritant.

I am sipping my tea, trying to think Temperate thoughts, and chill out. :oops:

Did they say that was the reason for the original reschedule?

Or you could bosh them over the head with a raddish.
That's what I like to do.
