Bad Owners Unleashed

(One of the dogs we are grooming attacks one of the staff badly enough that they need to go to the hospital. No one is able to enter the salon because the vicious, very large dog is on the loose in the shop. We are standing outside the shop in the main store. We call the dog’s owner, and he arrives two hours later.)

Customer: “I can’t believe you called the police on my dog! He’s a good dog!”

Me: “Sir, when we had to call the ambulance, the police came with them. We didn’t call them specifically.”

Customer: “Yes, you did! You are all racists!”

Me: “Sir, please just get your dog out of my salon. Other customers want their pets, and your dog is holding my shop hostage.”

Customer: “My dog doesn’t bite. He’s a nice dog.”

Me: “Please, just get your dog out of my salon.”

(The customer goes into the salon, grabs the dog, puts the chain on it and comes out. Everyone backs away. The dog is snarling and lunging at other customers. The police are following him to fill out paperwork.)

Customer: “By the way, were you able to cut his nails?”
