Stay
away
from
the
pedicure
here!
I
had
made
an
appointment
for
a
pedicure.
At
first
the
footbath
chair
didn't
turn
on,
then
the
excess
water
that
had
been
let
in
couldn't
be
drained.
But
that
can
happen
sometimes.
Afterwards
a
lady
came
to
me
who
barely
understood
what
I
was
telling
her
and
obviously
had
very
little
to
no
experience
with
pedicures.
It
would
have
been
okay
if
it
had
been
announced
and
been
cheaper
AND
if
someone
had
observed
her
doing
what
she
was
doing.
After
she
started
removing
my
nail
polish
(not
shellac
or
gel)
with
an
electric
file,
I
asked
her
to
do
it
with
nail
polish
remover.
According
to
you,
it
would
be
better
with
a
file.
I
had
never
heard
of
it
before.
Then
I
asked
her
to
be
careful
with
the
amount
of
natural
nail
she
removes.
That
worked
moderately.
The
cuticle
removal
and
nail
trimming
were
ok.
Then
it
was
time
for
the
paint.
I
wanted
regular
nail
polish,
not
shellac.
That's
what
I
said
at
the
beginning.
Nevertheless,
the
lady
applied
a
shellac
base
coat.
When
I
asked,
it
was
identified
as
a
slocher
and
then
removed.
She
then
wanted
to
apply
the
red
nail
polish
WITHOUT
a
base
coat
directly
onto
the
grayed
natural
nail.
After
applying
the
layer
of
varnish,
it
was
only
after
I
asked
again
that
it
was
discovered
that
callus
removal
was
still
missing,
so
while
the
nail
polish
was
drying,
I
started
scratching
around
on
the
soles
of
my
feet
with
a
"mini
file".
However,
the
hand-held
device
seemed
to
have
never
been
used
before,
as
the
file
was
only
the
attachment
and
the
hand
part
was
left
aside
due
to
a
lack
of
assembly
knowledge.
When,
surprisingly,
that
didn't
really
work,
the
boss
was
called
in.
However,
the
device
still
couldn't
be
put
together
properly.
Then
a
device
with
a
razor
blade
attachment
was
brought
in,
which
was
used
to
happily
make
holes
in
the
soles
of
my
feet.
When
I
asked
again
whether
that
was
the
case,
I
was
reassured.
When
I
was
anything
but
satisfied
with
the
result,
I
quickly
filed
something
over
the
sole
of
my
foot
with
a
hand
nail
file.
Didn't
help
much.
Oh,
and
the
nail
polish
was
so
damaged
during
this
procedure
that
half
of
it
had
to
be
reapplied.
Then
there
was
no
more
topcoat.
Due
to
time
constraints.
you
wanted
to
call
it
a
day.
When
I
asked
the
boss
at
the
end
that
I
found
it
unacceptable
that
the
lady
who
was
left
alone
with
me
had
obviously
never
had
a
pedicure,
that
the
end
result
was
anything
but
satisfactory
and
she
simply
ignored
this
point
This
was
not
discussed
if
they
could
be
removed
from
the
studio's
portfolio
if
they
had
no
expertise
whatsoever.
The
lady
is
new
and
in
training.
When
I
asked
why
she
was
allowed
to
treat
me
without
supervision
and
why
she
didn't
intervene
in
the
course
of
treatment
after
my
initial
questions
and
proactive
objections,
I
only
received
a
friendly
smile.
Then
I
asked
what
the
price
would
be
for
the
treatment
under
these
circumstances.
This
time
too
I
received
a
friendly
smile,
accompanied
by
the
normal
price
for
a
pedicure
plus
an
additional
charge
for
the
polish.
I
asked
again
if
she
was
sure
she
wanted
to
charge
me
the
full
price
for
the
service
provided.
Another
friendly
smile,
followed
by
the
price
being
repeated.
With
that,
I
handed
the
requested
amount
over
the
counter,
skipped
the
offered
stamp
card
and
then
went
home.
Where
I
pedicured
my
battered
feet
myself
and
then
put
them
up.
