Seriously? I paid to have my buttons busted up? How is it that people continue to pay for a service that damages their goods, leading to paying more money to have something fixed? I understand buttons are not a big deal and are very cheap to replace. But factor this in my friends: when you are getting a shirt repaired due to broken buttons, you are wearing more shirts thus making more trips to the button busters to have those shirts cleaned. So they are breaking buttons and repairing buttons at the same time. Repeat cycle.
Dry cleaners are the shady mechanics of the clothing industry. Bring 'er in for an oil change and walk out with a new transmission a few grand in the hole. Same holds true with these crooks. Dry clean a few shirts - no starch please, and that does not mean light starch, it means take your starch and shove it - and the next thing you know, you can't wear half of your clean wardrobe. Yet another waste. And what the hell are you people doing to the armpits, letting your cat pee on them? That stain wasn't there when I brought it in. Looks like I have a new Banana Republic furniture duster.
Button breakers be damned. You know what you did. PSDT. Thieves.

True, crappy cleaners will break buttons more often. (They can break due to poor button materials, but broken buttons often occur when the dry cleaner doesn't replace their press pads when they wear out.)
ReplyDeleteSolution: Go to a better dry cleaner. A good dry cleaner will replace your broken shirt buttons without you even asking -- Free! Dry cleaners are like many things in life: You get what you pay for.
