I have a friend that told me a similar story this year, except they were the homeowner. Anyway, guess you know who has the account now? ME!
So tell us, did you "CUT" the worker?...LOL

You have to have 3 sets of eyes. 1 to watch what your doing, 1
to watch the euipment and yet another set to watch the help.
I had a Spainish fellow working with me once. I came around the house to catch him pooring Round Up Pro in the weed eater. He thought it was gas.
What a mess.

Don't you just hate that when someone else costs you money. Try cutting down a flower bed with a weed eater in the first week of mowing, after 20hrs of training. Boardered and all. Thank Hashem it was bulbs but they came back and blummed, but the cleint was POed. I too feel you pain.
