Sorry need to vent
So I get s call from my old bosses son. Jasen Calls me last week to let me know if I’m interested in doing , an IHOP In my area
Now the area where it’s @ I’m there 2x a month , so I said ya I could only get there twice a month. He said I’m sure she would be ok with it … ok cool I’ll stop in there then
Now the day I would be able to do it is a day that I already do 2 Panera breads 2 burger kings. I would of had to put off one of the Panera breads till Tuesday, because the time constraints would be to hard.
IHOP is an early stop so is panera
Anyway I go into the IHOP looking for the lady he tells me to look for. The first lady I see was at the front desk she asks me who I am I tell her , an she goes " oh great we need a new window cleaner "
So I think cool this is going to be easy, but then the contact comes up front. Un-beknowns to me she was the owner didn’t know that at first , nor did she tell me
I introduce myself , an she goes " oh great we need a new window cleaner the other guy doesn’t come all the time, An we are not happy with him. "
I said " ok no problem i would be more than happy to have you guys as customers "
"I can only get here 2 x a month though ". she goes… " That’s fine The other guy just raised his price … unbelievable “
” Oh ok …well what was his price
she said " it was 12 dollars a wash am now he wants 14." lol I was like " really how dare him “
I said " Ya well ( giggling ) I wouldn’t even come here for 20 a wash. My price iwoykd be 40.
( I know it’s over at this point )
” Oh I don’t know wow so that’s your price."
" Ya not a penny less. She goes ok I’ll talk it over with the boss "
( btw I after I left I called Jasen she was the boss)
I don’t understand someone raises your price 2 dollars N you don’t want to use him. Looking at these windows an I could give her 30 more reasons why not to use him .
I said , " look his price is just not something that would make me not want to come here either , so here is my card if you want someone that will be happy to come here , An do a good job give me a call "
I’ve been around this route thing for awhile I understand the idiosyncrasies of this work, an I usually don’t let the low ballers get to me , but when someone who already has a low low low price An gets upset that it gets raised 2 dollars , An looks for another window cleaner. Aggravates the shit out of me .
To say the least I’m not expecting a call back., honestly it was a timed stop before 7am so who the hell cares.
I don’t get what the idiot is thinking that is doing it. 12 a wash is insane in/out it would take me at least 30 minutes mayne a little less.
I was trying to get a name from her who is doing tit now, but She wouldn’t give it up. Whatever !!!
So to rehash she is not happy with his work , an she is not happy that he raised the price $2.
Something tells me she will be reall happy with him for now on
