Did a one-off clean yesterday. Got to the house, I had the sixth sense feeling when customer opened the door. Only opened it a wedge to peek through to talk to me when I introduced myself. The house has a "To Let" sign outside and could see packed boxes through the windows,
Did the clean, knocked door, and again she peeked through a small wedge when she opened the door looking sheepish. Sorry she said, I forgot to get some money out, and I no longer use a chequebook as its all cards these days. She asked if I could pop back after Easter to collect.
I said "don't worry, not many people pay by cash or cheque anymore, You can pay now by card using my card reader" and pulled it from my pocket. Her face was a picture!
