Now, as they say, [circumstance] happens, so kudos to Dragonfly for calling. That was the right thing to do. But when you're told that someone will "squeeze you in" I would expect to have to wait...that's life.

Perhaps if people made it a priority to honor their appointments punctually, a business owner would not feel that walk ins take precedence.
Dragonfly couldn't wait, needed to ger her (??) oil changed in the chopper at 6:30! Oh O.K. I'm sorry, just being a smart !@#$
