My Lil' Rantlet

I'm in this exact situation now. What should I do? Just keep letting them postpone it and then go for the shoot?

[Jeremiah Bednar]

So, girl, did you manage to get a refund?

[Mr. Jody Bednar]

I'm speechless. A sudden pandemic outbreak is NOT an excuse to only refund half the deposit. How can there still be such rip-off businesses? Everyone, keep your eyes peeled and be careful before you pay a deposit.

[Shawna Keebler-Satterfield]

Exactly!

[Orville DuBuque]

So, sis, how was the makeup and the photo shoot?

[Candace McDermott]

Not great. It felt like a budget version of a well-known studio (like Tian Zhen Lan, for example). Plus, their photography skills just weren't up to par.

[Courtney Hickle Jr.]

I think the photos from their Haizhu branch turned out pretty bad. The Tianhe one seemed a bit better.

[Ms. Thelma DuBuque-Rolfson]

Really? I've had my ID photos taken there twice, and they both turned out great!

[Priscilla Marquardt IV]

I've seen a lot of good reviews too. For those of you who've actually been, would you genuinely recommend it?

[Katrina Ziemann]

But aren't deposits like that (定金 - dìngjīn, often a non-refundable commitment deposit) usually non-refundable? I thought it was only booking fees (订金 - dìngjīn, often a more flexible reservation deposit) that could be refunded, right?
