some think you on dole and dont pay tax she got no respect for you dump
publics perception to window cleaning is very different to ours (its our job afterall)
e.g. we are a service industry just like plumbers, sparkies, odd jobs, gardeners, etc. you name it.
They expect to be able to call and book you in, happens to me all the time too.
Theres always jobs where its a terrace and they need to be home to have backs done, or want an inside clean as well, lets not forget they have busy lives too and may need to take a morning off work .... have you ever had to take time off to be home for a bt engineer or a sofa to be delivered ?
nearly all my round is sorted with hassle free regular easy access jobs (no need for homeowner to be present) , turn up, clean, leave bill if not home, and get paid cheque or bacs within a few days.
Magic, she probably doesnt realise how annoying it is to you, leave the ball in her court dont go ringing her !
I've had plenty of similar situations, no need to drop them.
Just explain that their needs do not fit into the scheduled round of your work,
that for a moderate surcharge you are happy to clean for them at a time convenient to them within your stated working hours, but with atleast a weeks notice (or whatever you decide)
She may only call you once or twice a year or maybe more, but so what, its all money innit ?
Probably got a dozen or so good priced customers now that I have this arrangement with, they keep coming back 2 or 3 times a year and its much less hassle.
