A.R.T. Shop — Attraction in New York

I dropped off film to be developed into prints on a Friday afternoon around noon and was told I could pick up the prints Tuesday or Wednesday. I arrived Wednesday evening to pick the prints and was told scornfully “I told you Thursday or Friday” . The man was not only wrong but very combative in his tone and language. I can understand if the prints were not made by the set pickup date but I can not understand the need to act defensively and the attempt to shift blame onto me, the paying client. The man told me I could come back Thursday and I asked if he was positive and he confirmed. He said he would text me when they were done and I left.

I countered he confirmed they would be ready Thursday and he became even more argumentative and dismissive.

Regardless of the pick up times that were argued, this is extremely poor customer service.

But, the lady girlfriend talks well. Perhaps, time to ditch him and find another one decent, educated and a good...

Definitely a new customer and will be going back. The store itself is dope with art and some vintage to make you want to offer the owner some $ to buy that. This Shop is Fun. The supplies are...
