Oh my gosh, some people!! What I wouldn't give to know what goes through the minds of some of my least brilliant customers.
Lady comes in, OWNS A POODLE, her's happens to be a toy...kinda. Anyway the point is she OWNS A POODLE!!!!!!! She comes in and starts looking at Saleen and Jazz who are lost in dream land in their crates. She keeps looking at them, and then back at us, looking at them, and then back at us with this really confused and kind of upset look on her face.
Her comment: They're So big...?? Why are they cut like poodles?? They're so big.
Response: They are poodles.
Her next comment: No... No, they can't be. They are SO BIG....!
Response: Ummm are you retarded??.. no just kidding we didn't say that. Explained that they were standard poodles.
Next comment: BUT THEY ARE SOOOO BIG!!
*sigh* Is there anything else I can help you with today? No? Ok, we'll call when fluffy is finished.
Different customer, came in this Tuesday. ALSO A POODLE OWNER!!
Looks at Jazz and Saleen, keep in mind they are spoos. Anyway she peeks around the corner looks at them sleeping. Doesn't say a word. Hands me her sorry excuse for a poodle, no really she was in BAD shape - poor thing. Starts talking about me making her look as poodley as possible.
Ummm yeah... did you notice you dog is almost bald?
Anyway wants her to look somewhat like a poodle, do the best I can kind of thing and DEFINITLY paint those toenials.
Sure... is my eye twitching yet?
Then she give me this funny look, you know the looks that tells you stupidity is on the way. Asks me if I know much about poodles. I point to Jazz and Saleen and say "Well I own two of them and I groom them both myself of course."
She glances down her snobby nose at the girls and says, "Oh are they real poodles?? You sure? Are they purebred poodles or are those cocker-poodles... isn't that what they're called.
My Response; *in shock, and trying to keep a straight face*, "Ehh, it's cocka-poo I believe and NO, they aren't. They are standard poodles, both are purebred and registered.
She kind blinks at me a couple of times no doubt thinking that I am an idiot and then without another word walks out...
Uhhh Bye, see you in two hours... (Weirdo)
I'm grooming my big boy in a conti. today and ironicly enough, the most reconized haircut in the world " that stupid poodle cut as so many people call it" will still result in people comming in today and asking what kind of dog HE is! Sheesh!
Ummmk, so I think I'll make a sign to hang on the girl's crate it will read -
YES I AM A POODLE! Clean Face, Clean Feet, Puff on Tail - DUH
