Your review Fictitous Florist"Ž - "Ž - 2010-10-17 The shop was not owned by the same owner for 36 yrs. It was sold to a couple of men during her location on Federal Hwy.Then when it went under because of the building being sold and the owners lost intrest the original owner decided to take it back and move it a few blocks away into a rat infested building. I personally saw the huge traps being loaded and placed on top of the air-cond vents. Two days later we would notice the stench of the dead rats but I was not about to climb the ladder to retriev them. This went on for months and still does. Yes I'm a great designer but with a customer gratification complex not a Napoleon Complex. I would say that 75 percent of the pictures and comments do belong to me or otherwise you would not have them on the site because if I was not there designing and getting comments they would not have any decent pictures or comments. I did not quit Joys for a better position I just took time off with her permission so I could make extra money. I always kept contact with Joy and phoned her often to see if she needed me to come in and her answer was no, you go ahead and make the extra money I'm fine here cause its so slow. Now for the matter of fraud, I have 450 copys of my transactions between a client and myself who tried to screw me out of 2000.00...But I just so happen to beat her to the punch and cashed it...But we dont need to go there but if anyone would like to read them I am willing to sit down and go through everyone of them with you.As far as the so called refridgerated trucks sent by Miami importers. I do not call old vans, cars, refridgerated Miami importers. they are people that run down to the airport and all buy the same left over *** that the grocery stores leave behind. As far as the stores appearance when I arrived, yes it was in need of repair and a makeover.It took 4 gallons of paint, 3 sheets of bamboo paneling, new glass tables a box of floor tiles and a pack of razor blades to scrape the sun faded flowers off the windows so to let some sunshine in,and just anything to set arrangements on instead of being crambed on old dusty diningroom hutches and old bookshelves. I never begged anyone for a position in all my life,and all my friends know that about me I just told Joy I was finished and she set my hrs up and I went in the next day.As far as Rick goes yes he is a gentleman but I was also when I started but my experience working there changed all that when I started to see and feel the abuse from the owner, the drugs being used by another past employee and the so called exboyfriend smoking pot out the back door. I never said they were the best shop in town, 2 other stores on Las Olas Blvd have that title. You said you once loved me what you really meant to say is " You once used me " and it will never happen again guys. Oh that statement about standing order from "Green Farms" wasn't that going to turn into a lawsuit because the companys website was *** that Palo created and they refused to pay him. I dont believe in my lies I believe in me and so does alot of other friends and clients of mine. I wish Rick a lot of luck and patience with Joys Florist...Edit - Delete Are you sure you want to delete this? There was an error deleting your review. Please try again later.
