A Texas man is suing a florist after an employee there faxed a receipt to his estranged wife showing he sent flowers and a love note to his girlfriend.
The lawsuit was field this week in Houston. It asks 1-800-flowers.com to pay for Leroy Greer's mental anguish and the increased amount he now expects to pay in his divorce case. Greer's lawyers are asking the florist for $1 million, saying the once-amicable divorce could cost as much as an additional $300,000.
In April, Greer sent his girlfriend flowers, a stuffed animal and a card that read: "Just wanted to say that I love you and you mean the world to me! Leroy." According to the lawsuit, the company promised Greer that it would send nothing to his home.
But 1-800-flowers.com later sent a coupon and a thank-you card to Greer's home. According to the lawsuit, his wife saw the card, called the company and asked for a receipt. The florist faxed her the receipt, which included the message on the card.
A spokesman for the florist declined to discuss details about the lawsuit. He added that they are not responsible for an individual's personal conduct.
