i know i should stand my ground, but this round is worth £300 every fortnight to me, and for the sake of a tenner, its not worth hassling him, hopfully he gets his memory back, but am ready for him if he trys it on again,

To make matters worse, she's a neighbour, so I have to look at her gleaming windows..

Post by: Londoner on May 27, 2009, 07:21:17 am: Its annoying when you don't get paid but don't get all eaten up about it. After all its only one customer.

My mate did four bathrooms in a block of flats that were being refurbished and the sub contractor went bust before he got paid. Thats the time to start getting all eaten up about it.

Post by: sparklebright on May 27, 2009, 08:40:52 pm: I do a coffee shop, and last time I was off a mate did it, and didn't collect the dough. When I tried to collect the following week they said they had, I've known the mate for years so I know that's not true.
Took this Monday off and the same mate covered it. The guy in the shop says to him, 'sorry I can't open the till' so he went back the next and collected. Talk about try it on again. ::)
