Tucson Marble & Granite

This is a headstone business. Every costumer who walks through their door has suffered a loss, and is in an emotional state. I was no different. My husband died 7 months ago. I wanted to create an amazing headstone. I had gone in to this biz about 4 months ago. They have many headstones to look at, but no prices anywhere. I went back in yesterday with a final idea of design. I drew it out for the guy at the desk. He gave me a guess on what it might cost. He was going to get back to me on a final estimate. I understand all of this. I had drawn out my design, I asked him to redraw it, figuring that he would be a better artist. (He was a much better artist, and I needed something to take to my in-​laws to see if they could put in any money) after our meeting, I went to take the drawing. (pen on paper, took less than a minute to draw) and he said the design was his, and I could not have it until I put down a deposit. (mind you, there were no sizes, or explanations of technique, just a rough sketch) He looked at me and told me he knew I was going to steal his design and shop it around. Well, I am just not used to being insulted, especially on a business deal I was planning on spending upwards of $ 8000. I HAD no plans on shopping this around. I am a pretty firm believer in buying local. In fact the idea never occurred to me until he said it. I am very sorry to write this. But Tucson Marble and Granite will not be doing my husbands headstone. Word of advice, do not insult your clients, and if you have confidence in your business, you should have no problem with some one shopping around, especially with such a large and emotional purchase.
