#VernonFlowers with no vase means no Vernon flower delivery!

I had to say "no" to a customer today.

It's rare.

I like to say "yes" all the time.

But delivering cut flowers with no container to a patient in the Vernon Hospital?

Just say NO!

I "get" not wanting to pay for a vase or a basket to hold the flowers.

It just adds to the price, and takes away from the number of flowers to be delivered.

But can we really expect this Vernon Hospital to carry vases...of all shapes & sizes? Not going to happen!

So what else is available to hold water in a hospital?



Nope. It doesn't make sense. Practicality over-rues frugality in this case.

We either do it an a vase, or we say "no"...we can't do this order.

Thankfully the customer agreed and paid for a vase. Because that bed pan won't do justice to our flowers...and it is our reputation after all!
