I clean a street of semis (not the whole street, but a good wadge of them) and on my second job the neighbor tells me not to bother cleaning next door because she's had her house repossessed!
She owes me for two cleans, but this has never been a problem before, and once paid me six months in advance!
The neighbor reckons that if I want paying I ought to get in the que with the rest of her creditors! It's not a big amount of money; but the job was underpriced by my current standards; so I'm a little bit miffed.
I also hear other customers grumbling about the price of stuff; one customer who owns three houses (one they live in, one they rent, and one they've been doing up to sell (
) says that things are so tight that they can't afford to go away camping with the kids for four days.
I didn't tell her that I'd just been away in my comfy caravan for a week!
