UPDATE: I just want to say THANK YOU to all the folks who have reached out to me privately and in this message to show support. Some of you have feared it was you that passed the bill along, and others were eager to offer money to covering the cost of the payment, some reached out with moral support. It's so humbling to know so many people care. Thank you so much! You guys really are 🌟🏆THE BEST. ❤️
Friends...
I discovered fake $50 bill in and amongst my cash when I was preparing my deposit for the week. Since all of my clients are long time regulars, this has thrown me in into a bit of an emotional tailspin. At first, I was just shocked and surprised. And now, I just feel so incredibly sad. Sad that any of my clients would do such a thing to me. And then, as I processed it, so very sad to think that any of you would NEED TO DO such a thing. I can only imagine what unexpected curve ball life has thrown this person to cause them to do this. I can't believe any of you, as I've grown to know you over the years, would do something like this just to pull one over on me. Something horrible must have happened to compromise their life in some way.
It is possible it was simply a mistake. After all, I took the bill without examining it. Perhaps this person did too. Either way, I'm not angry. The payment is covered. It's just a sad situation.
I'm announcing this publicly mostly to explain that I will be looking more closely at everyone's payments from now on. Perhaps I've been a little too casual in accepting payment over the years anyway. It IS a business, right? 😄
Also, PLEASE KNOW, if any of you are struggling financially and feel you need to keep up with grooming, we can work something out! We can do payments... or maybe do a simpler groom that will last longer, or stretch out your appointments... or maybe something else. I'm willing to help.
Onward and upward! 🩷
