Title: Customers and there personalities!
Post by: Jakey boy on December 18, 2012, 02:18:49 pm
I don't know about you guys, but I find there are 5 'kinds' of people (in general) that I meet everyday, I had nearly all these types of personalities this last two days, so thought I'd share my observations, and to see if anyone else has similar experiences!

1. The ones who always talk about themselves, and usually how much money they have etc, and how great there children are and house etc. :(

2. The ones who just continually moan and vent there frustrations on us, just because we're there I suppose! And we kind of just agree whilst really thinking 'shut up, your doing my head in'  >:(

3. The lovely old people which invite you in and tell you the same story each month. ???

4. The best customers - who always ask how you are and seem to actually remember all the info you've told them over the months/years, they make you a nice drink, and seem almost family like in there talking to you. And they tip well, and have the thoughtfulness of giving you a Christmas card ;D

5. The ones who just open the door and shove the money in your hand and barely say a word! :o

What about the ones that live in lovely houses, have a couple of mercs on the drive way, always eating and drinking the best but always have an issue paying the window cleaner and they always seem to want extra work to be done for free.

Some people get so attached to there money its unreal. It's only money. It doesn't bring you happiness because when you don't have it you are sad. If you were not bothered how much money you have or haven't got, then you will always be happy.

I find that there are three types of customer;
Those who can count, and those who can't.

I find there are two types of personalities.
The NICE ones :) and the NASTY ones >:(.
The nice ones usually have loads of misfortune in their lives and die early.
The nasty ones usually have a good life and live for a long long time and can inflict their horrible nasty selves on as many as possible!!!!!

I literally can't get away from some customers, every time I say 'I better crack on then' they burst into another dialogue of rubbish! - as long as they pay, I can love with it..
