Just had a regular customer of mine come in to the shop and wanted to let me know that we delivered to the wrong address on Saturday. She said she didn't understand because she knows that my drivers know where she lives. I told her that I was sure that we didn't have an order for her on Saturday. She goes on to explain that it was in a tall box with the flowers in plastic and the vase in the box! I assured her that I would never deliver flowers in such a way and that if they came from me then they would have been beautifully arranged in the vase when she opened the door and would see our van in the driveway. She was sure I was confused and was sure that the flowers came from me because I am the only florist in town. I politely assured her that it was not me. She brought the box in to show me later and it was a Proflowers box! I was horrified that she thought it came from me! Thank goodness she came in and said something to me and I was able to educate her about Proflowers and convince her that it was not from my shop! Just makes me wonder how many others receive that crap on their doorsteps and think a real florist left it. :itchy:
