I’m going to be as REAL as possible. And I “anticipate” the same from all of you.
As most of my customers know, there is a huge problem with the air quality in the shop. I am fully aware.
To start clearing the air, I’d like to say NO, it is not me. I am not getting high in the back room, or on my break or anywhere! There are some tenants above the unit I rent, who have undeniably made some significant life choices.
So I’ve expressed this over time to my Landlord, and he’s saying “put it in writing, every time and date…” telling him every day at any given time was ineffective. So I’ve been making notes on my own, and handed a few in, I’ve submitted a proper complaint in a detailed email with more dates… I’ve even had customers write out their own complaints.
This is detrimental for my business.
Over the time I’ve spent a small fortune on air quality products as well as vent filters, I’ve tried a rainbow filter, defuser, essential oils, Scentsy, Lysol… I stand on a stool and open the ceiling and pump a whole can in there, I’ve also placed fabric softener beads in the vents. What I’ve got going on now seems to lessen the amount of toxins… i still use a glade plug in, which is the scent of crisp linen (for those who are in on a good day and say it smells amazing) I keep the bathroom vent on and I’ve also been shutting the air off when I’m not there, and sometimes when I am. Which is HOT lately. (don’t tell the landlord) Truth, I’m losing my mind.
I want you all to know that I am fully aware of the situation and I too see it to be a problem. I am not sure how to solve it just yet… if all fails, I might have to look for another location. I’m hoping not to do that, I really so appreciate the space I’ve created.
I NEED YOUR HELP: if you’ve spent some time in my establishment and have noticed the smell of ma*****na, could you take in on the comment section, and write out your thoughts on the matter.. so I may also add this to my collection of complaints.
I ThAnKyOu all in advance for the time you’ve taken to read this one out, and for your thoughts. ~ Jes.
