ROFL... I hate to admit it but I love getting folks who come in with this attitude. Of course being trained & working in the field of counseling.. I have a thing for dealing with 'attitudes'. I get those who come in with 'the facial expression, the vocal infractions, the body language etc..' I look at the pet, I get overly sweet, almost to the point of needing a insulin shot to deal with it...LOL, then I look at the owners and immediately reply with something like...
" Oh my, I know you have been sooooo busy with house, family, job, etc.... I guess you didn't hear 'fluffy' telling you she needed grooming weeks ago... after all isnt your pet the center of your entire world?".. I laugh as though Im on their side.. understanding that their lives must be sooo busy they don't have time to breath... I empathize with them, let them know I understand just how important their precious pet is, then I slip in how I am sooooo sorry, we have been booked for the week before more holidays months before.
I let them rattle on and on and on, the steam in their tirade begins to lesson.. I offer the 'look' and they eventually schedule for a later date.
