Customers just don't understand
« on: June 16, 2012, 03:27:33 pm »
Good afternoon,

Had a slack day yesterday as I'm well a head will me work,
So I took my boy out with me in the van to do some
Running round ( he's 2 yrs old) loves coming out with daddy :)

I went to pick some Money up of a customer ( which I don't normally do)
And she got gabbing to me and the boy.

She started saying to him " when your older will you go out cleaning windows
With your dad?" but quick as a flash she said
" mind you your dad might have a proper job by then" :D

I just chuckled to me self and then she handed me £30 for the 45 mins work
For cleaning her windows ::) I said thank you and drove away having a good giggle

I think that she must think I only clean her st. And that's about it
Think if she used her head and added up the houses I do in her close then
And watched hour long I was there for she would go sick :o

Funny lot people arnt they.. Lol
keep it simple

Just don't tell them.

Was cleaning a new customer a couple of years ago. Got chatting, and i asked how she got my number.

"i see your van outside the private school, do you clean it a lot as i always see you there?"

I replied "no, my son goes to the school, i pick him up after work!"

She phoned me a week later to cancel. I asked why for my records.

"you obviously charge to much to afford that school!!!"

Aint custies great  ;D
