Today i started a contract with a shop in town,to be cleaned once a week outsides,inside once a month,signs every 8 weeks,arrives 7 oclock just about to start when the window cleaner who cleans every shop in town(so he says) starts to try to intimidate me,what you doing,i says cleaning this shop,he says i clean 95% of the shops in town,i say good for you,he says you have been putting flyers in my shops trying to get my work,i says if you are good at your job you have nothing to worry about,he then starts ranting on about his family have been cleaning these windows for over 30 years,i says yes i know,i then politly told him if a shop asks me for a quote i will give them a quote,this person has started to lose some of his shop work to other cleaners in the town and he does not like it,the shop i now clean had 4 different quotes,one of them was from him,i was the most expensive but they liked my professional attitude,this person has threatened other window cleaners in the past but he has come unstuck with me,he threatened to take my domestic work off me and i told him go ahead,after a few minutes he calmed down and we started talking,i politly told him i have no interest in trying to take his work but i will clean the windows in the town if the shop ask me.would you have walked away or would you have been like me and laughed.

done excactly the same as you, but would've dropped the price out to him of the window that you we're cleaning, something along the lines of £14 ;D just to wind him up a bit more ;)
