Yesterday I returned to get a couple pairs of shoes shined. The owner gave me the option of getting them shined and picking them up the same day. She also did something different this time. She did not ask if I wanted to pay first and because I noticed this was different I asked about it. She tells I can pay when I pick them up. She also did not give me a claim check. I figured okay, she remembers me and I guess I don't need one. When I returned to picked them up I had my $10 ($5 a pair) ready. She then tells me it'll be $16 ($8 a pair). I was shocked and said that's a 60% increase since I was last there. She offered no apology and simply told me that the increased cost of the shoe creams she sells was the reason for it. I. DO. NOT. PURCHASE. HER. SHOE. CREAMS. and never will. I was blindsided by this increase. She knew exactly what she was doing when I dropped them off with her. She should have told me about the increase at the beginning. The shoe shine was decent , but certainly NOT worth $8 a pair. I will not be utilizing this place EVER again. BYE!!!"^^ .
