I went to Amenity Day Spa several years ago with my mother and two of my sisters-in-law for one of my sisters-in-law's birthdays. (I wasn't a Yelp member then.) My sisters-in-law got pedicures, my mother and I got manicures, and the manicurist who was doing my nails kept asking about my kids. I told her I had one living child and asked her about her children. She then went on to ask me why I only had one child. Well, she asked so I told her; I responded that my oldest child had been killed and that I had recently had a miscarriage. She then went on to tell me how awful it was for a child to be an only child and how I needed to give that child siblings. I think I was in a combination of shock at her audacity, trying to hold back tears, and trying not to ruin my sister-in-law's birthday celebration, plus she was literally holding onto my hands. Hard. So all I did, through gritted teeth, was reply, "I'm trying." She then asked me how many children each of my sisters-in-law had. I told her and she then basically flipped out and started going on LOUDLY about how much skinnier my sisters-in-law were than me even though they each had more children than I did, (even though I told her I had recently been pregnant...not that it would have been ok anyway) and how good they were for providing their children with siblings.In an effort to change the subject after that whole horrible conversation, I asked her if they allow people with plantar's warts to get pedicures, and she said yes, and made it a point to tell me specifically how plantar's warts are NOT contagious. (When the opposite is true....) I was originally going to buy a whole bunch of stuff I had seen on the way in and another gift certificate for my sister-in-law when we left, but I bought nothing on the way out. My mother was footing the bill for this so the woman got tipped anyway (ugh.) because I'm sure none of us wanted to ruin sister-in-law's birthday. By the way, there were plenty of other people who worked for Amenity Day Spa in the room at the time that this was all happening, and others who were coming in and out and there is no way they didn't hear what this woman was saying, yet no one said anything to her (or me) about how inappropriate she was being.
