The new owner of Doug's, someone named Chris, will not reimburse me for a hamper of my clothing that I left for his bundle laundry service. This was 6 weeks ago and all he will offer for 14 men's snap closure shirts and 4 men's cargo shorts, and the hamper is $150. The only local store that currently has snap shirts is Shepler's and they want $50 plus tax per shirt. I tried to settle for a reasonable amount but Chris refused. He will not talk to me by phone and evidently is rarely in the laundry. Linda, the manager, is the only one with whom I have spoken. Yesterday I filed a complaint with a consumer mediation group, of which he is not a member, in hopes they can help resolve this impasse. If this fails, I plan to take him to small claims court to recoup my loss. Ray must have the snap shirts due to severe psoriatic arthritis and screws in his fingers. We are both disabled and the hassle of trying to find replacements and deal with an absentee owner is just too much. All these shirts and shorts were fairly new, some of them were purchased in McPherson, KS which is a 500 mile roundtrip and requires gas, meals, and an overnight stay to go back up there. If we can't buy the shirts locally, we must order out online, pay shipping and tax, and guess as to the size, fit and appearance of the shirts. Please watch here for updates.
