So this year I have tried to buy most of my presents from independent shops. I have really struggled to find anything in physical shops so compromised and most gifts have come from Etsy or secondhand from ebay.
For my baby daughter I wanted to get her a bracelet with sapphires (her birthstone) I know she won't appreciate this year but indulge me as a silly FTM. I thought I could give it to her when she's older along with some baby photos and other keepsakes. Anyway, I digress.
I went to my local jewellers about a month ago and they didn't have anything in stock but the guy said he would make something up for me. I was very pleased thinking it would be even nicer to have something unique.
Went back on Friday as I was a bit surprised I hadn't heard from him but thought busy time of year etc. He had obviously completely forgotten my order and tried to blame it on staff being off with covid but he had to note down what I wanted again so I knew he had no idea what I was on about. He said he would call yesterday when he had some sapphires in for me to look at but I've not heard anything.
I'm a bit annoyed because I'm not sure why I'm chasing to try and give him money. I have found a bracelet I really like on H Samuel now so I don't know whether to just buy that one or give the guy one more chance and pop down there this afternoon.
WWYD?
YABU -just give the guy a call he's probably been busy
YANBU - he's had his chance, go to H Samuel
