Miss Manners: Floral runaround could have been avoided - The Washington Post

I sent her a photo and video of the bouquet and card so that they could be temporarily enjoyed, at least visually.I was a bit stunned to get a call from her asking me to please call the florist, and ask if the flowers could be picked up and a new bouquet delivered upon her return, but I said “Of course.” So I called the local florist and they said they’d see what they could do.Apparently the florist then called their client, the sender, to ask if they’d like to pay to send a second bouquet. Somebody bears the cost of a second bouquet.It seems to me that a gracious person would have said, “Oh, those are beautiful; would someone in our office like to take them home and enjoy them?” Was her request a symptom of over-entitlement?Alive as Miss Manners is to the rudeness of others, she cannot help noticing that there would be less rudeness if we did not go around expecting to find it. What your boss did was unexpected, but not rude.What happened next created the mess, much like the actor who drops a prop that causes another actor to trip and fall into the lap of the gentleman in the front row.Your boss’s hope that the flower shop would reschedule the delivery after it had occurred was absurdly optimistic. But she is the boss. Your call to the flower shop should have been: “My apologies. I realize this is unusual, but my boss is out ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/advice/miss-manners-floral-runaround-could-have-been-avoided/2019/08/20/a9d8ab7e-bd0f-11e9-a5c6-1e74f7ec4a93_story.html

This affordable delivery service will bring local flowers straight to your doorstep in Vancouver - Vancouver Is Awesome

Their flowers are seasonal, local and absolutely GORGEOUS. Best of all, their unique business model cuts down and minimizes the waste often associated with florists and traditional flower delivery services. Here’s how it works.The local company operates on a “subscription service with a twist” model, which enables customers to purchase fresh flowers weekly, for just $30 per delivery. Customers can set their own delivery schedule (via their web app) for up to 5 weeks, but are never locked in or obligated to a long term subscription or minimum order. If you just need flowers for a one-off special occasion, that’s no problem. You can also add multiple addresses to your account so you can send boxes to friends, family and clients too. Photo: Bear’s BloomsWith this model, Bear’s Blooms’ founders are able to work directly with B.C. farmers and order only what they need, ensuring there’s as little waste as possible throughout the delivery process. In fact, 95% of Bear’s Blooms flowers come from local B.C. farmers, even in the winter!You might not think of the flower industry as being wasteful, but traditional florists throw away up to 40% of their plants, often because their flowers sit for weeks in warehouses and distribution centres. That’s not the case with Bear’s Blooms; their flowers literally go straight from the farm to your doorstep, helping them stay fresh longer. Also, their delivery boxes can be recycled or returned and reused by Bear’s Blooms, further cutting down on the wasteful p... https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2019/09/10/bears-blooms-flower-delivery-vancouver/
