Florist held for hitting rival with shovel

A FLORIST who allegedly beat a competitor with a shovel for talking to one of his customers, has been arrested.

He reportedly accused the other man, also from India, of trying to steal his business.

However, he has denied the allegation and claimed he accidentally hit the neighbouring florist with the shovel when he was closing the door.
Yes... well... we always lock up the store with shovel in hand. ;)
 
I could have gone after a "friend" florist who stole a wedding from me. Instead, I learned a very good lesson. Never, ever, give a bride your prices and descriptions of individual items until contracts are signed and $ is in hand. It does not matter how long that bride and groom have been your customers, how much they have declared that your shop helped to move their romance along, how often they pronounce that they would never even consider using another florist, etc., etc.
 
Sounds like he is digging himself into a deep legal hole...

Thank you, thank you! <bows>


Don't dig the hole any deeper Mark... I'm looking for a shovel here. ;)

Apparently florist feuds happen far more often than I ever imagined! Here's another one for ya:

My fav part of this story are the names of the florists involved in battle! ~Feel Good Flowers~ (well, not always...we have bad days too!) has a big issue with ~Happily Ever After Florist~ (we would be happily ever after...if we could just gid rid of Feel Good Flowers!) Way too much! Life's just too **** short for all this craziness! Peace, fellow florists!!!
