I dont know...........tbh.

Is it canvassing assassins?

[JackieW]

Are you a corporal?

It is xenophobic but it's their culture to haggle.
My experience: go in high. You want your actual price to be roughly 2/3 of initial quote.
And get $ upfront.
The only Asian customers I have now pay a month in advance.
That way on the drive out there, I know I've already been paid.

You cant tar all asians with the same brush (haha pun)

But from experience they always seem to want something extra for nothing and we have been turned over by a few asains.

But then have any of them moaned to us...no. British white folk seem to moan about everything!

A few areas near me that are full of africans! Whi imo are The worst breed of customers by far. I also have a lot of asians too that are also hard work. I purposly steer clear of these types of areas as they are all as tight as bum holes.
Cant you drive 15/30 mins out and hit another area at all??.

I started window cleaning 2 years ago and found out the hard way ..

Don't even think about it.  Seriously.  I have about four of these types and none of them are regular, and certainly none are four weekly - forget that!

Best avoided, unless the daughters are pretty, but tbh, if you're caught poking one of them, then the risk of acid being thrown in yours and their faces is too high to be worth it.

What you need are the Hyacinth Bucket types in your round.

I ve been cleaning windows for over 3 months now . I ve been canvassing quite a lot! To this day I still have to get a Chinese customer !! they are as tight as 2 coats of paint !! Asians do haggle too much too !!
