Well, only if that were the case.......
But, now this is getting much wider attention here, so the impact is likely to be more than the loss of ONE customer's future business. On top of that, if this is standard business practice for the CG, the word will soon be widespread to avoid the place at all costs.

I'm guessing you are asking for about $600. I can only assume Freedom Shores does not have liability insurance to cover this so this $600 would be pure profit loss. What rate of return would I expect from this $600? I've lost one return customer (you). No matter if I pay you or not you will not return. I have had recent expenses to pay the electrician twice already. I may have been pouring $$ into other recent maintenance and upkeep items that have negatively affected my books. I might be able to apply that $600 elsewhere that would better position my CG to generate more income. This issue will be a short term hit if at all. Two years from now it will be gone and forgotten and I will recognize profit growth.
I'm not saying him blowing you off is the right thing to do but there may be circumstances where it may not be in his best long term interest to pay you. I can't judge his actions without knowing his financial position. His profit margin may be low to negative at the moment. On the other side he may be driving a beamer and living in a 5 star high rise.
Furthermore, the US$ doesn't go as far down there as it did say 10 years ago. That certainly has an effect on business decisions as well.
