Hi Fellow WC’rs,
This past Thursday around 8:30AM I was cleaning my new wkly. comm. account when I noticed someone trying to be inconspicuous watching me work. Now, as I always do, I’m watching my working environment so that I do not harm anyone or brake anything and in my peripheral vision I noticed that “conspicuous” person watching me. Naturally, after I was finished I approached him and said, “Excuse me but your face looks familiar, my name is Stuart Hemby, have you ever worked in Connecticut?” and he hesitantly replied, “yes.” I inquired what his name was and he declined to share which I thought was wierd. So naturally, I asked again…lol! After his second decline, I said, "why will you not share your name…that’s not polite, rude etc.,(can’t remember what I exactly said but, I wasn’t rude). His response was “yeah, but I did speak to you.” At that moment it hit me…Duh! he was a fellow WC (a rude one at that).
Now, Here’s some background history. About 3 wks ago, my cus. said I have to give him a price break at another location…which I believe is currently fair… He also informed me that another WC’er approached him saying, he does great work, he can beat their current price and that he can do better job and the customer replied, “no thank you!” When the cus. shared the incident with me he also questioned how the other WC could say that he could offer a better job prior to seeing me work.
In closing, thank goodness I provide a service and not just window cleaning!
