As much as I hate to give a negative review to the home of the squirrel museum, I totally have to.
I went there Saturday hoping to go to the dead squirrel museum, and as the parking lot was empty except for two cars, I thought I was safe. I didn’t want to go if there was a funeral going on (obviously). So I went in, and the guy came out and asked if he could help me. I said that I was there to see the museum. He replied «NO, NO» in the most nasty way. He then continued in the same nasty way, «You can’t go to the museum on weekends, and you have to CALL first» I apologized, and said I didn’t know that. He said «this is a funeral home FIRST» as he herded me out the door. I felt like I was about 4 years old being yelled at by some old man next door for cutting across the lawn or something.
Now, I totally get it. I get it that it’s a funeral home first. BUT, first of all, it’s just bad for public relations to be so nasty to someone. There was obviously a polite way to handle that situation. I wasn’t rude to him. Rather than hissing NO at me, he COULD have apologized and said that the museum wasn’t open at that time and said a time to come back. I would have totally understood that.
Second, fuck you old man! What do you expect having a dead animal museum in the basement? There is absolutely nothing posted anywhere stating the hours or availability of the museum. As that was not Sam Sanfilipo himself, I wouldn’t mind telling him to eat shit.
I am a customer too, and I have every intention of telling everyone I know (especially anyone in need of funeral services) about what a prick the old man at the Cress Funeral home was.
