So I have a past hostess who does a multi-vendor sale every year at her home, about 50 people walk through during the day. It isn't the BEST I have ever been too, but it is decent enough.
So she called me a few weeks ago about setting up this year on Sept 27th. Well I have booked NOTHING for any w/ends until after October 6th b/c w/ends will be time with my boyfriend when he gets back from Kuwait. So I say okay. She then calls and wants to push the date to the next w/end. I say again okay and tell her jokingly that she is really cutting into my "family" time w/ my boyfriend and DD (not his but they adore each other). She asked what I meant and I told her he has been deployed and will be home around the 8th of Sept and he and I won't see each other during the week, only on the weekends. She and I chat about it and she seems really understanding right?
Fast forward to Monday night. She calls and MUST change the date to Sept 20th. This is NOT going to work for me. I tell her that there is no way I can do it that date. She FLIPPED OUT!!! Starts yelling at me, asking what is she going to do people expect me to be there. She asks if I can send someone else to sit w/ all of my stuff and do my job from 9am till 4pm. I said I didn't think I knew anyone that would just "give up" their Sat to do this. She then, in a very snotty tone, says and what is so important that you can't be there? I WAS MAD!!
I said to her, first of all I do not think I should have to defend myself for not being available, nor do I think it is right of you to ask me to do so. However, do you recall our converstation a week or so ago when I told you about my BF coming home, she said well yeah, so. I told her his family lives 3 hours away and that is the weekend that he told them we were coming down and his mother told me she is planning a party and can't wait to see us. She said, (are you ready for this?) "What is so important about that?". I hit the roof, and I don't get nasty w/ people ever, but this struck a nerve. I told her that I did not appreciate her attitude and that until she could act like an adult I would not continue this conversation with her. She said, well I didn't mean it like that. I told her that I am sorry that I am putting family first but that is one of the things that I LOVE about my business is I am able to do so. She told me she would get back to me.
I haven't heard from her since...should I call? Or bless and relase?
