i had a job about 2 years ago in east ham, lounge hall stairs and landing i priced up at 150quid. i get there, set up the tm and start cleaning a filthy black top lounge carpet, axminster and cleaned up a treat. as soom as the lounge was finished, The customer comes out and says
"i have no money to pay you, so you pack up and go, you understand me!!
i Said "ok, i will pack up now but you owe me for the lounge, that will be 75 quid, right now" .
"no. me have no money, you go now before i call police. you racist to me charging me lot of money"
i laughed and thought f**k this, i took the solution hose out, wand out and spotter out to the van , i rolled the 25 ft waste hose into the lounge all without saying a word and emptied out all that was in the waste tank over the carpet must to their horror. customer said ' what you doing, what you doing?
i said "I'm returning your dirt back to you, now have a good day"
rolled up the waste hose, and got back in the van with all the family shouting and screaming god knows what at me in some foreign language.
I am no racist by any means, my ex girlfriend was half indian and i have many good mates who are foreign. Now days i dont take any attitude or rudeness by customers to me. i would rather walk off the job and lose money then put up with hassle
