[CLEANCARE WC]

Well I spoke too soon boys, I have just lost a £95 pub! I have been doing this place 11yrs! About 5/6 yrs ago a new couple took it on and I nearly dumped this job a couple of yrs ago as the woman would continually move the goalposts as in, she expected me to hoover out the crap, dead flys etc of the runners when i would clean the secondary glazing! when i pointed out i cleaned windows she was rude and said its about common sense if this needs doing do that and skip something else.

Anyway I relented to her requests and thought we had found an understanding after i stood up to her...Flash forward to present day.

It was due 2 weeks ago and i text her to let her know im coming (i know dont like it but she insists) and she says can we leave it 2 weeks? I said ok (i think i mentioned on another thread they did it early last year so wasnt bothered) anyway something else i must let you know the last 2 cleans they have not paid on the day and said they would pay by bacs but both times were very late paying as in nearly a month, bearing in mind it has been cash on the day for 11yrs! So I sent a letter saying it is fine to pay by bacs,cheque or cash but i will need payment on the day (it is a pub with about 12 b&b rooms and the london posh folk ram this place in the summer, basiically its not a struggling business and has very good cash flow. nobody eats,drinks or sleeps without paying there bill  )

......So about half an hour ago I get a text saying how she didnt like my letter!  and we have come to the end of the road. I felt so angry because I have really gone the extra mile for these people and bit my lip seriously so much the last few years. Anyway I text her back thanked her for the business, explained that i wasnt rude i was merely pointing out my terms and if i ordered dinner and drinks i would be expected to pay my bill blah blah. Anyway my parting shot was "I hope you find someone who meets your requirements, although i sincerely doubt you will as you continually move the goal posts. all the best. Dan" that cancels out the  nursing home i picked back up yesterday! Oh well no worse off financially than the beginning of the week.

It was prob the lack of paragraphs that pushed her over the edge.

It sounds like she was a load of hassle anyway. I plan to put all new commercial on to a monthly 'service charge' payable by standing order. It's the way forward.

i am glad i spotted this post
Today in my day dreaming state i was wondering what things make a good business and some of the things that were going thru my mind was
1 do only what your paid to do,as doing extras doesn't get you any were,there soon forgotten about,unless you get paid
2 be a little bit ruthless,not nasty, but after what you have gone thru over the period of time,looking back you should have dropped them and replaced,hindsight i know

there is many more but i would be here all day,in my opinion your better of with out them
