What to do?

I’m not the most pleased person in the world right now.

For Megan’s shower gift I bought us four visits each to a new spa that opened. It was a promotion for opening, so for the both of us and four visits it only cost $100.

Well in July I called the spa to book a couple of our visits and they were booked up into August, and were not taking any new bookings until they got their new computer system. I was a bit annoyed, but figured I would call back.

I called back in the middle of August just to find out, guess what? The spa has closed. Seriously. But good news was that a former employee was honoring the packages I’d bought. So I called her today and really, got more bad news. She lives in Dalmeny, a half an hour away. A little inconvenient, but not terribly. The part that made me angry is that she is charging $5 extra for each visit to cover the cost of product and she is only open ONE evening a week, a few days a week, and NO weekends. Considering I am interning and Megan is a teacher… that would mean we’d only be able to go that single evening. Lame.

So here I am wondering… should we still go? Pay the extra $40 and make four trips out to Dalmeny or should we not go, and I just chalk this up as a learning experience and never again buy promotional packages from new businesses!?

    lol, its funny to hear you say that Dalmeny is so far away. Its only 10 mins from the edge of the city, it takes you longer to drive downtown from your house then it does for you to drive to Dalmeny. My ex’s parent’s lived in the middle of nowhere, close to Dalmeny, so we would all drive in to town every day, and then back again. Its so close. You do realise that here in Vancity it takes me an hour and a half to get to my girlfriend’s by bus. Sily silly Brea. :p

    How can a spa be booked solid and then suddenly closed?
