12-Mar-91 08:58    Pete Bronder                 Consumer Warning
From: Pete Bronder <pb0q+@andrew.cmu.edu>
Beware of Lord Duncan Cleaners! 
    My wife took her wedding dress there to get cleaned.  They had
glue/glitter on their press and it stuck to the dress.  After
complaining loudly they admitted it being their fault.  They took it and
ripped out some fancy stitch-work, replaced it with some bogus stuff,
then dipped it into solution that melted the dress.  The owner, Lou
Favish, offered to give $50 and said "consider it a gift" while he was
spitting cigar juice all over what was left.  We had to resort to the
local magistrate to finally get reimbursed.  While at the magistrate's
office we talked to the secretary who said that Mr. Favish is in their
office regularly because of similar problems.  This guy is obviously out
for himself and doesn't give a &*%$ about his customers.
