they must fit into your work round not the other way round (unless they pay a 100% increase for a as an when clean)
there are plently of good custys out there so dont let these idiots mess you about!

train them up, explain your rules and the way you work then give them 3 strikes (12 strike for each offence) and dump if they persist!

hope this helps mate

Should have just given him you phone number and said "call when you want them next done and I'll let you know when I am in the area" It then leaves it open for you to charge accordingly or if you want to pass up extra income on that day, that you can't fit them in anymore! Easy decision really :)
