DON'T LOOSE YOUR TICKET FOR YOUR SHOES !
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

02/24/2007 Posted by morganyakus

I brought my favorite pair of boots to be fixed at Hector's. I was excited as they seemed really nice and I got the feeling they knew what they were doing. I went to go pick them up on a Monday and they were closed for the holiday. Hector's is not exactly next to my house so it was a few days before I was able to go back. I missed placed my ticket and didn't think it would be a problem. I went in there on my way to work (on a sat) and told them that I didn't have my ticket. He replied with "I AM TOO BUSY I CAN NOT LOOK FOR THEM NOW". There was only one customer in the store at the time who was leaving. I told him that I was getting on a plane on Monday (they are closed sun) and would not be able to come back. HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID TOO BAD HE WAS BUSY. I could NOT believe it ! So because I lost my ticket he was punishing me! He told me " THAT HE WOULD LOOK FOR THEM AFTER HE WAS CLOSED" I again pleaded and he turned his back with no alternative. I said that I would wait, he replied "YOU WILL BE WAITING TILL WE CLOSE THEN" The most frustrating thing is that he didn't offer an alternative to my problem. Not even to come back in twenty min or an hour. Just that he would look for the shoes when he was closed. It wouldn't have been so upsetting if I didn't need them right away and if I lived around the corner. So BEWARE IF YOU LOOSE YOUR TICKET you might not get your shoes back !

Cons: I DON'T HAVE MY SHOES !
