A woman has outraged the internet after she asked a florist to do labour for free. The woman texted the florist, Mimi, to ask whether she would buy and create her wedding flowers – but after the florist gave her a price quote, she quickly tried her best to haggle the cost down to… absolutely nothing. Quick note, brides-to-be: weddings are expensive, we know, but that doesn’t mean people should do unpaid work to make yours happen. Learn from this story, please. Never be that person.
Mimi continued to be professional, explaining that no, she wouldn’t do all of that work for free – but she was happy to recommend other people to her. Instead of being understanding, the bride was simply rude, and replied with a thumbs down.
Unbelievable. Honestly, we’re surprised Mimi remained so professional – so kudos to her. Reddit users, however, weren’t quite as calm. After the conversation was posted to Imgur, people had a lot to say about it. One person said: ‘People who think their “exposure” equates money are the worst types of people. ‘It’s a real slap in the face.’
Another said: ‘Spends $10K on everything else, wants the flowers at cost and free labor. Sounds about right.’ Someone else added: ‘Why are brides so beastly and think they are so special? So many people get married.
They aren’t anything special’. And another person wrote: ‘You are very nice. I would have ripped that person apart.’ And we’ve got to agree – Mimi does seem really nice. Here’s hoping another customer comes along and actually wants to pay her for her hard work.
