Sketchy. I handed over my antique watch to get repaired because it had fallen, and developed a rattle. It took them a week to call me back with a quote. They quoted me two prices that differed by almost two hundred dollars. I asked if the rattle would be fixed with the lower price, and they said yes. The second price was for some kind of overhaul. It took them another week to finish the job, and when I went in to pick it up it still rattled. They then said it would cost me the amount of the second price to get the rattle fixed, but I had to repeatedly ask how much I would have to pay to fix the rattle. The guy finally said the rattle would be fixed for the price of 295.99 - 114 (the amount I owed him just for having him hold onto my watch for two weeks), but there was no conviction in his voice, and I highly doubted him. I wish I hadn't paid him 114 plus tax. I walked out feeling like a sucker, but at least I got my watch back.
I am very sorry for you. You had a terrible and humiliating experience. You are a human being and you deserve to be treated better than that.
Unfortunately, that's the way it is in Toronto. Most big cities in the world are full of nasty, snobbish, self-righteous, selfish, narcissistic 'people'.
I use the term ‘people’ loosely, when referring to these creatures. I call them, the “urban intelligentsia”. They think they are hip and trendy and part of some upper class, that you are not part of.
Every country’s biggest city is full of these animals. Toronto is no exception.
I invite you to come up Irma’s Bridal Boutique in Thunder Bay. People in Northern Ontario are very gracious and appreciative to have new customers. I don’t live in Thunder Bay, but I visit there, and I know they will treat you right. They will treat you with respect and dignity because there are not millions and millions of ‘ants’ crowded in to their city -- so every individual person is special.
