Nitpick of the Week

What's the deal with alterations? I took some pants in today to get hemmed, and the lady asks when I need them by. So I say this week, and she says, "no, Monday." Why even ask me when I need the pants, when you are just going to tell me what fits your schedule. Plus, I just picked up a suit I dropped off before Christmas to get cleaned and have a button sewn on. Guess what? Still a spot on the suit and the button is still loose.
