its becasue we are in the service industry, people think we can treat us like crap,, remember a posting on here about a wc who lost a custy becasue he had a newer car than the custy lol
if you said that you are only doing windows to top up your dole, they would probably have more respect for you, its there lost,
A similar thing happened to me once. When I first started I had a beaten up old astra estate for work, it did the job and was a good car.
I took on a new customer in a 3 story town house, nice place with a 2 year old BMW on the drive, when I had done cleaning he was so apologetic as he never had any cash, I just said no worries pay me next month, but he insisted on bringing me the cash that night “after all its your livelihood” so I told him my address and forgot about it.
That night there was a knock on the door and there stood my customer with his chin on the ground. “oh” he said, “this is your place then!” (I am fortunate to have a very nice and quite large house) then he looked and my old astra parked next to my 3 month old CRV. His face was a picture. Lol
After that he was one of my worst payers, so I made an exception just for him. I never usually collect money but I did with that job. And guess which car I ALWAYS used to collect with.
