Heading: CPPA Claim Regarding Same Day Service Sign

Text: Pearson also argues that the Same Day Service sign violated various provisions of the CPPA, specifically D.C.Code § 28-3904(a), (d), (e), (f), and (h) (2001). But as the trial court found, Pearson presented no evidence that same day service was not provided by Custom Cleaners. [11] Instead, Pearson's argument is based on a presumption that the Same Day Service sign was a false statement unless Same Day Service was always and automatically provided. Pearson, however, offers no support for this interpretation of the Same Day Service sign, which frankly defies logic. If a person brings an item in for dry cleaning five minutes before the store closes, same day service could not reasonably be expected. [12] Moreover, while Pearson testified that the claims ticket automatically provided a pickup date three days after the item was dropped off, he conceded that an earlier pickup date would be provided if requested. Pearson points to no evidence that Custom Cleaners did not make same day service available. Accordingly, this claim must also be denied, and we affirm Judge Bartnoff's decision to do so.
