They tell me when they miss their parents. They bring us chocolates and cards for Christmas. We get candies and cookies. Or, we have a customer who works at U-M Athletic Department. We knew that Gary Moeller got fired before it was announced on the radio.
Cleaners also know, sometimes, when their customers die.
This doesn't happen very often, but when it does, they say, it's sad. We have a regular clientele. Which is better for us, and better for them. We can educate them about dry cleaning, about what clothes to buy, what's good, and what to stay away from. If you're going to buy rayon, buy a rayon mixture.
