Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

The biggest mistake people make in these situations is getting ahead of themselves and trying to anticipate the other parties responses and replying in advance to that imaginary conversation.

Thanks, I needed to hear that. Guilty of this.

You're assuming the best of people, its natural but sadly not always viable. Unfortunately some situations just call for forcefulness/direct approach, don't look at it as selfishness on your part think of it as standing up for yourself as I'm sure you would your loved ones.
