Negotiations at the dry cleaner

Ok so DH goes to the dry cleaner a lot. Not THAT much...like he doesn't wear suit and tie or anything like that. However he thinks that the dry cleaner should throw him a bone every once in awhile - like a pair of pants for free or whatever. I disagree and told him they just don't do that! But DH said its very competive and there are like 10 dry cleaners withing a 1/2 mile radius and that this guy should try and keep his current customers. I still think DH is nuts what about you girls?


(On a side not this dry cleaner annoys the sh+t out of me though - he is sooo annoying)

hehe. Well my DH seems to think that since we give WALMART so much business, they should throw in a free carton of milk every once in a while I told him that I don't think it works that way and if he attempts it, they'll have him arrested for stealing. lol.

I think it's the same with your DH's dry cleaners. It's a good idea, but I just don't think it works that way. Did he ever ask them? Cause I'm sure they'd say no.

I totally agree with DH!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I am a loyal customer and feel that as such I should be rewarded I am serious though for example...if I go to a restaurant a few times (and it is mom and pop owned) I expect a free glass of wine (usually drink wine when we eat out)...most neighborhood places do this...dry cleaners should follow suit...also my nail lady will throw in a shoulder massage here and there without charging...stuff like that makes you feel appreciated and I think you end up spending MORE $$! Maybe me and your DH are both just crazy

I agree with your DH. Airlines and cc have points and frequent flier miles, lots of places have those cards to save you $$...does your dry cleaner ever have sales or specials? I go to One Price and they email a coupon every month. Otherwise I'd go elsewhere
