Harmon immediately refused to play the role of the sucker. He just got two month's pay as compensation and it would all go to a haircut?
Harmon threatened to call the cops, but the barbershop wasn’t about to let go of this easy mark. The manager of the barber shop showed up. He displayed a clear and precise billing statement, all for products Harmon agreed to use.
The manager said, "You can go ahead and call the police, but you gotta pay first, or you're not going anywhere. Our prices are clear as day, and nobody twisted your arm. You agreed to it, and now you're backing out. You think we don't have to pay for labor, utilities and rent?"
The staff of the barber shop huddled up. Harmon wanted to pick a fight? No chance in hell, he couldn’t take them all.
With his date time looming, Harmon had to swallow his pride, reluctantly paid his bills. After leaving the barber shop, he got a call from the dating site manager, "Mr. Alstrom, you there yet? We're already here, at Spirits & Suds."
"I'll be there in a minute." Harmon said.
Just thinking about seeing Anastasia, Harmon completely forgot about being screwed over by the barber shop. He immediately hailed a cab to Spirits & Suds.
At Spirits & Suds.
The dating site manager was a man, skinny and sly. You could tell from a mile away that he was a troublemaker. Harmon arrived at the bar, standing at the entrance looking around. The dating site manager spotted him and waved, "Mr. Alstrom, over here."
Harmon followed the voice, but only saw a woman he didn't recognize sitting there. She looked older than him, heavily made up, and reeking of perfume.
"Where's Anastasia?" Harmon asked straight up.
The dating site manager said with a grin, "Easy there, Mr. Alstrom. I'm Putnam, in charge of your date today. This is Fidelia, she runs her own bookstore and was quite the go-getter. You guys get acquainted, Ms. Jewell will be here soon."
Harmon wasn't interested in Fidelia, he just sat down and waited for Anastasia.
Putnam greeted Fidelia and then asked Harmon, "Mr. Alstrom, what'll you be drinking?"
