Unless you know that customer, get paid first, Before you allow them to leave. If they don't like those terms, tell them to get someone else. If you don't do that, don't complain when you have to wait, cause when they have the money, you will wait, or not get paid. Some do this on purpose, hoping you have somewhere else to be.That way, you never get paid.]]> Thu, 19 Oct 2006 17:31:56 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3005&PID=69065&title=rant-wait-charges#69065 <![CDATA[RANT...wait charges : sh*t Happens!

Always get paid upon arival at vacants, then if they decide to go to the hardware store or what every you wont have to wait. If they are not planning on stiffing you, they wont mind.
 
No checks on vacants either, especially move outs, unless it is a customer we have a good pre existing relationship with.

 Play his game! Charge $ premium up front for non- owner occupied residential cleaning.(Activation Fee).  Make it clear ; for the next booking there will be a  premium. It will justify for your time when having to wait! You charge just to show up! Just like Bell !Smile]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2006 19:52:49 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3005&PID=69027&title=rant-wait-charges#69027 <![CDATA[RANT...wait charges : What a a-hole.

Either wait and get paid or leave the bill and wait? I usually call people just before I am done cleaning. It looks he stuck it to you on this one?]]> Sat, 14 Oct 2006 20:42:40 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3005&PID=68987&title=rant-wait-charges#68987 <![CDATA[RANT...wait charges : Just got in from cleaning a job(7:30)...got...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3005&PID=68983&title=rant-wait-charges#68983 Author: MR.
