    Every industry has all sorts of customers. From the ones who are too loving, that you can not get work done, to one that will be aggravated when you look the wrong way. In the end all I think of is that I don't turn into them by getting too worked up. You Handled it like a champion

    I know exactly where you were driving there, along Devons Road to Bromley By Bow then along Hackney Marshes, it's all where I grew up, love looking at it.
    Look forward to the next one

    Sounds like you had a lucky escape. I don't know if you seen the David Savery video "The impossible angry Karen" of a year ago, where the customer assaulted him and was arrested. She was barking mad!

      I mean she wasn't that bad, they agreed a time and then he said he couldn't do it because he couldn't find a parking space.. she's right him living in london he must run into trouble with parking quite a bit. it's not her fault he has been waiting since 8:30

      I think you are right about lucky escape part, she could have been a nightmare. One thing I have learned when the job is rushed on the client part stay away. She contacted me about 3 pm on Tuesday the work had to be completed on Wednesday because her tenant was moving in that evening. I should have known better. thanks for watching.

    It's absolutely not on the customer that you were early though. Saying you've been there since 8.30 is irrelevant because that's not what was agreed. Obviously your time from 9am onwards is a different issue. But this isn't exactly doing your brand any favours 😂

    • @eastwayelectrical
      @eastwayelectrical  Місяць тому

      You are reading it all wrong, me been there early wasn't the point I mentioned it to tell the whole story. I got there early on my own accord I wasn't complaining. However, if it makes you laugh it's all good.

    Always get it agreed in writing! text message or email. Always be clear that there will be a charge if I attend and cannot do any works. Take a picture or vid of you attending the property. If you agree something over the phone then send a text message/email just to confirm what was agreed in the conversation. Get them to reply with a please proceed or please carryout the works or yes I understand.

    Parking is always a pain in London but it's not on the customer that you got there early, if you agreed between 9-10 then in all fairness your time starts from 9 as that's the agreed time.
    She probably got a little annoyed because you said I'll refund you and you can get someone else, then said I don't have to refund you lol
