I think I shocked a customer today
« on: September 09, 2013, 04:29:26 pm »
       Had a booking on Friday for a 3 bed terrace house a new build in  fancy area quoted 24 quid at 2.40 of course customer did not pitch got a call at 3 o clock sorry, but work wAs running late.
I thought No problems she is new. Reskedule for today at 2.30. Get a call at 11 m sorry has to cancel she feels £24 is to high for in and out. clean. Said no problem £24 is a lot for a lying, thieving unreliable cursing and half job window cleaner.But I am not one of those so I suggested. I will send one of those caravan dwellers along the rd outside thestate were she living I am sure they can accommodate her  fee. Phone goes  dead
 5 MINUTES ANOTHER CALL SHE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT AND WOULD I STILL MEET HER AT 2.40.
          MY  ANSWER,! SORRY LOVE I TO HaVE SEEN THE LIGHT AND i DON`T PROVIDE A SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON`T RESPECT OTHERS TIME . PHONE GOES DEAD AGAIN.

 I  MUST SAY IT MADE  FEELING  GOOD . MONDAYS ARE NOT MY DAY FOR NONCENCE ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

yeah right ! did you really say that ?
Did it make you feel so much better and in control ?
Personally I'd have just said that's the price take it or leave it, and moved on .
No need to be so smarmy or rude, always polite even if you are seething behind clenched teeth.

Posh I don`t need to come on here for my kicks. I am a forthright person and maybe not growing up in the U K  makes me different.  I do not fear folk if they  treat me unfairly. I have been in business for 45 years and never allowed people to treat me with disrespect. I might be a window cleaner, but I am afraid I tern the cheek only once and then give as good as I take. I never said I was rude only forthright and straightforward. I respect folk who respect me in return.But if they tread me like muck they will feel my tongue.

Personally I would not have made such an appointment... Perhaps something like early am or pm, but if they didn't show I woldn't go back. Even when I started I wouldn't have gone back. Pita job anyway terraced houses.

Well she was there when I quoted the job  and I stick with what I have said to this waste of space. I don`t see why she deserves any politeness, she did not think twice of wasting my time.I will say it again in a New York second if given the occasion again.

Posh and you need to stop been so condescending and smug.Maybe another year at school would have been beneficial to your comprehension and reading skills. If you have  met me you would see my point better, I am no ass    hole. I am well educated and brought up by good parents. I do not subscribe to the adage " The customer is always right" Which 20 years out dated. But  do accept " THE CUSTOMER DESERVES THE RESPECT HE/HER SHOWS".So get with it before you judge others you do not know. Remember Gods waits till you die to judge you, for a reason. Poshmate.
