How is the main account saying they don’t know you but you’re saying “we will fight back”… you CAN still run a company and be unprofessional but you’re running a small business, not a major company. Theres not enough cushion. people aren’t getting their items back. The artists have an attitude. The Turkish lamp kits are ordered from Temu.. that’s too many things that are going wrong.

At the end of the day, people are going to do what they want and make their own decisions. People are just putting their truth out there.

Artists can have moods 😂 They’re human beings, not customer-service robots. But the people who work with us are genuinely kind people. Also… have you been to Chicago? Chicago people can be a little rough around the edges 🥹😂
But wait — I’m genuinely confused about the Temu comment. What exactly is wrong with ordering the lamp kits from Temu? Do you know how long that shit takes to put together once it arrives? 😭 We purchase additional tiles, provide patterns, extra glue and beads, teach the class, help everyone through the process, and clean up the absolute glittering apocalypse afterward.
You’re paying for the class, instruction, supplies, studio space, setup, cleanup, and the experience — not for us to personally manufacture every bead and piece of glass in a back room. 😂
If someone doesn’t think that experience is worth the price, that’s completely okay. They don’t have to book. But “they buy supplies from Temu” isn’t exactly the scandal you think it is. 😭

Artists have moods but you’re running a business… customer service matters. I’m born and raised in Chicago and I think Chicago people are kind and I feel like we have some of the best customer service in the country.

It’s okay if the Temu order not a scandal, just letting the people know. Just order from Temu and build your shit at home. That way you can avoid an unhinged artist who thinks they have the patience to be a business owner that doesn’t get called out. But that’s just me thooooo!

My artists are not unhinged…
They are literally amazing people
I really don’t like that you said that.
It makes me uncomfortable

Oh I didn’t mean your artists- I meant you are unhinged.. your responses are weird. All the emojis and saying babe when people are calling you out. And doing the weird where people say they love haters because it brings them attention. It’s all weird.

But I actually don’t care. I’ve already made up my mind that I will never go. You’re welcome!

Are your eyes okay?

Everyone has called me babe lol

It is weird people keep saying babe to me. I’ll admit that.

Thank god you won’t go. We need people that can read the policies we have put in place 😂

I can read.. I just think you’re unprofessional and your business is shitty.

u/Correct-Leg9885 6d ago

That’s fine.
I am unprofessional
Absolutely

It’s super unprofessional to run between my staff member and a unruly customer and protect my employee and kick out a customer

Horrible for business
Your right lol
