What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
to make a story semi-short, i work at a dry cleaners/tailor
a lady dropped off 2 dresses to be altered on a Mon. i said pick it up next Mon. she claimed she needed them this week. So i told her okay then they can be ready by Sat. She didn't object, didn't say anything actually
so i assumed it was okay, so i wrote down on the receipt "by Sat."
i even said it outloud as i wrote it down
she shows up on Thurs. asking for the dresses claiming that she told me she needed it that day
i tried to tell her that i said Sat and that i even wrote it down as Sat.
she said she didn't care, all she knows is she needed them by thursday because she had an important function.
then she demanded that the clothes be done by Sat and that she was not going to pay for it
she wanted all the work done for free
my question is if we refuse to do the work, or demand for her to pay us, can she sue?
or can we take out a claim on her for not paying??
i'm at a complete lost here and i need some advice asap
thank you so much to anyone who can help
i'm worried because of that ordeal with a man suing a dry cleaners in NY
