Taking my clothes for dry cleaning means I care much about them and am welling to pay to keep them in nice condition. So stapling them just to label is really stupid. When ever I have to take clothes there, we tell them to staple it from inside on the T-Shirt tag not the shirt itself. A mystery I was never able to solve or understand.

The problem is with most employee training in the area, the instructors assume that people have basic common sense. When they say, "Staple the tag in the shirt." they don't mean, "Staple the tag into the fabric area where the holes will be most visible to people."

I don't like having holes in my shirts and I dont think anyone else does. You just need to find another solution like some of the other laundromats who as mentioned above use stickers.

I'm so pissed at damn 5asec.. and was waiting for someone to say something about it.. i got stapled twice with those damn staples that they use.. and on top of that they iron like shit.. and the 15th branch that they are so proud of.. and did a whole advrt. camp. for it.. is in salmiya next to my place.. it is basically some sort of a forward branch.. they need 3 days to do your shirts.. unlike any other branch because they have to send it to other branch to dry clean it.. basically the branch is useless.. I mean why the hell do you open a branch if a machine does not fit in it.. just to say that you now have 15 locations.. by the way i am referring to the one before dodo facing feiruz express.. I have stopped using them for good.. and I'm now a happier person.. lol.. ;) Walla thank you Mark..

For suits and heavy duty stuff, they staple - on the inside pocket, so no problem there. For shirts and lighter stuff, they have a little sticker which comes off easily and doesn't leave a mark. In any case, they put it on the label. My laundry does a ‘combo’! For suits and heavy duty stuff, they staple - on the inside pocket, so no problem there.
