Underpriced
« on: May 17, 2007, 08:37:31 pm »
Welll today after my lunch i turned up at my first job  a 3 bed semi charged at £10.00 about 20 - 25mins. Seen the bloke in the window he as i was gettin ladder offf and putting bucklet on belt on walked up to the house and he comes out and says:

HIM: Ohh we have another window cleaner now!

ME: ohh :| how comee??

HIM: well we  was charging 3.50

ME: OHHHH thats cheap! he proberly isnt insured?

HIM: Proberly yes!

He wasnt botherd at all, what anoyes me was the fact that he watched me unload and walk upto his house before telling me! and the fact that 3.50 he thinks he is going 2 get a good job etc!

SOOO anoying

When they come back and ask, just hike the price by a few quid after all they are not a loyal customer so why should they have the benefit of the same price you charge all your others.

I find as well that when they eventually ask, to fane deafness is good, they have to ask 2 or 3 times and then there is the ums and arhs of can I fit you on?
