ok.. I am going to RANT for a little
I think lawyers are some of the worest customers
let me start from the begining.
I get a call from a lawyer wanting to get his yard done on a reg. account. so i go out and talk with him. he tells me he has contract with trugreen and pays them alot of money to keep it green (should have been the first red flag hitting me in the face). so i tell him it needs to be cut once a week. his reply "no I pay alot to truegreen allready and only want it cut ever 2 week(next red flag should have it me into the truck to run but I must have had a brainfart) so i say ok and add a little extra for the once ever 2 week cut. he said ok.
first cut no problem and paid.
2 and 3rd cut billed day before number 4 cut he calls and said do not cut that on the last two cuts we scalped it I say ok i will meet him out there the next a at 6 pm and take a look at it. he said great. the next day me there from 6 to 7 and no customer i leave letter on door saying will come back the next day to meet him if he can not make it to call me, no call, next day i am out there again no customer and again letter in mail box asking to call me, while out there i look at what he is talking about and it is not scalping but he has fungus due to all the rain we have been getting. after 2 weeks with no call from him and now late on unpaid invoice i call him. I started to tell him what the problem was, now i cut his yard at 2 1/2in he tells me i am cutting it to short and the problem is with me cutting it to short and i again tell him he needs it cut weekly he tells me he know lawns and no i am not doing it right. at that point i tell him i can no longer cut for him when can i get my check, he said i am not happy with you work so i do not have to pay you. i told him if you were not happy with the job you should have called the day after the first cut not wait a month to call. so now i have no ideal if i will ever see that money.
I do not like lawyers very much.
thank you for letting me RANT for a little.
and let me know if you have had problem with lawyers before or is it just me.
