I've only got a couple of "indian" customers on my round.
They are lovely people, nice to have a conversation with and good payers.
I've never had a problem.
However I couldn't say the same about a small minority of white Anglo-Saxon customers who are now ex-customers.  ;)
Treat people as individuals Bobby, you can't class a whole race as bad customers because there is good and bad in all.

Don't have any problems with mine other than when I first started doing them they tried to cut me down from my initial quote.

The trick with these folk is to overcharge and then give a big discount.It makes them happy to get a bargain.

what the hell is wrong with you?! INJUNS!!!!! what the hell is an injun?  Can you honestly not spell Indian? Are you that thick?  And how do you even know they're Indian?  How do you know they're not Pakistani, or Bangladeshi, or Malaysian or whatever?  Do you ask them what country they come from before you clean their windows?
Some of the ridiculously stupid and close minded comments I read on here make me wonder what century we are living in.  This is no different from the infamous 'employing polish today' topic.

Was it something he said that upset you mate? Give us a clue  ;D Over here, the MOD have about 2% of foreign guys serving in the army. There are a few on each estate where we work. I've got none as custies. Don't know why. I canvass every 2 years and my contact details are all over the system here.

Soldiers here refer to them as "none swimmers" so as not to be called racist. Some of these guys can't seem to understand more than about 50 English words. Words like, left, right, about turn, load, unload and fire.

Let's all pretend it's working well, and not call people names eh? I took the OP to be tongue in cheek and not to be taken too seriously. Chill.  ;)
No still don't understand, I must be thick

I have about 7 Asian customers and every one of them wont allow me to do windows unless they are in as they don't trust me , and they never thank me or say goodbye , sorry if it offends anyone I can only speak as I see im always polite to them , I take more time and care than I would normally and my prices are as low as I can go , maybe its a culture thing , I just smile and be polite as I would to any of my customers , having said that I have had many many white customers who have been arrogant , rude , mean and unreliable ,
the more flyers i post , the luckier i seem to get ...
