I'm thankful for customers who pay my bills, but here in the last 2 weeks I've been getting slammed by ignorance & people who don't think with their brains.<br>Within the last 2 weeks I had a resturant call & cancel service because "his buddy is out of a job & he wants to let him mow the lawn for money"- why not hire him in your $#%@& resturant????????<br>Others have called & have other expenses come up, so guess who gets the cut-me. They want only every other week. Next year I'm raising the price for anyone who pulls that crap with me; cutting more grass for the same price at half the interval, basically more work for half the price.<br>Then today to top it off, one lady calls & since I didn't cut last week (didn't need it, so I let it go until this week) she had it cut last Sat. Now it won't need it until NEXT WEEK, which means I lost 2 weeks income on that.<br>Also I pull up to cut one other that wasn't growing last week, & it was already cut.<br>Come to find out the neighbor did it & he will now be doing it "cause he just retired & needs money"-if you need money, don't retire you %#@$@ ******!!!<br>So now these do-gooders have cost me hundreds of dollars because they wanted to 2nd guess me & think for them selves. With the drought here, that's even less $$ than I'm NOT making lately! The drought is hard enough to feed my family as I have gone full time this year.<br>Anybody else running into this?????????<br>I have to get this off my chest or I'm going to 1)explode, or 2)hit or shoot something (or both
)<br>I realize now that some can't be trusted to leave things be, & I will have to start implementing addendums & additions to contracts, & start trying to implement residential written contracts.<br>Anyways thanks for the steam letoff.<p>----------<br>Smitty ô¿ô<br>
