One of those days.
had this customer a year or two. Never pays on the day. Its always "can you call tomorrow" Sometime I call back and its " I forgot to get it" or " I didn't get chance"
I call almost the same day each month. I do them first, because I know ill have to call back. Everyone else in that area pays online.
Called yesterday. dragged hose passed his van and gate etc. Starts doing front and he comes out. " can you do them later, I am doing hedges" hedges are 30ft away from windows. I said " ill just finish the fronts then and do back tomorrow" He then says he needs to get his lad. FFS. SO I pack all my gear up and leave.
Called again today. Knocks on door and starts front. He opens door, so I ask him to unlock gate round the back.
" I cant pay you till this afternoon"
You knew I was coming, why didn't you get it?
" I have better things to do that trail round for you"...........now this guy is a tall lazy Geordie. His wife is in a wheel chair and all they do is watch tv all day.
so I pipes up and said "tell you what. I wont bother" well he proper went off on one. Screaming like a child.
" if you let us know when you were coming would help"
you knew I was coming today but didn't have it!
I looked him in the face and called him a BEEP BEEP lol Very childish of me, but he ped me off too much.
He slammed the house door shut, then opened it again screaming something. I just told him what to do. He goes back in, I close van door, then hes out again
" you should speak to your customers better" lmao
Guess I wont be going back
Then a few houses later. I gets my Gardiner backpack out of its holding place, ready for a job. I realised I missed one of my 8 weekly jobs, just up the road.I set off. Bang, glug glug glug. My backpack tipped up and the lid popped off. All over van floor
