I know some cleaners go to great lengths to prevent the customer breathing down their necks as they work, I know of one who positions his air movers in the door ways for this very reason ;D
I was at a dental surgery today cleaning the waiting room sofas,it wasn't closed and the old biddies who were forced to wait in another area wouldn't leave me alone, 'ooh you can come home with me and do mine' and 'I bet you don't do the cleaning at home do ya'.You know the kind of thing, you have to laugh to be sociable even if it is the 1000th time you've heard it ::)Bless 'em I love it really.
Any way, there were people every where watching every move, you had eyes in the back of your head to make sure they didn't trip over cables etc and no fans allowed (because of noise).
Before you ask, I did try for out of hours but they didn't want it and said they could suffer the disruption for one day.Luckily the sofas came up well which was just aswell considering the audience ;)
But on a serious note, hundreds of people in and out of the waiting room then into surgery.Filthy hands touching the chairs and sofas,the risk of picking up a bug (which is all in the news now every day) must be huge which I pointed out to them and they agreed.
I am now booked to clean them every 3 months :)

After working at Nissan for 10 years they used to give factory tours it was like being in a zoo having people pointing and watching you perform your daily tasks.It does not bother me they can see how hard you are working ;)
-
No it doesnt bother me at all. I like it cause I will show them how hard I am working ;), then I will ask them a question like, do you want me to get that candle wax out for a $, most of the time they say yes. :) :).

It does not bother me at all - in fact it is rather nice when the custie lingers for a while after bringing in the coffee and chirps in with a few oohs and wows and a "I didn't think you'd do that bit"
Better still when they rush to get a neighbour to see the magic take place ;) :D

Your not going to let this Minty thing drop are you ;)
Have you sold your bane machine yet and bought a boxxer?

Had a guy watching my every move yesterday as I was cleaning his red lounge & dining room carpets. Wow totally amazing was his reply, so obviously pleased with results. It is ones who watch you like a hawk and don`t say anything sometimes you wonder about.

Some people do watch for a while but they usually get bored and move along to something else.

Len,
A few weeks ago I had not one but a whole family of four ,mother , husband , grandmother and daughter all in the bathroom and all giving it you go over again , AND I hadn't even started.
I told them it was impossible to work this way but as they all con each other , they trust nobody.
Reminded me of why I don't normally do this sort of work.
Mines a chicken vindaloo,
Cheers,
Doug
