1st job today was a Sushi joint that I have posted about before. Goo/rice mixture a 1/8th of an inch thick coming out of the kitchen. More rice, gum and soy sauce everywhere.
The Lunchpail ate it all up for breakfast with ease. Propane heat, FreAk brush, slotted Green Glide and the GreAse combo of Eraser and Lightning flat out ripped it up. Asshole no personality Japanese owner never said a word about the results or that the Vortex was not there this time
2nd.
Was a home/day care we do every summer. Usually we dual it. 3 br, steps, classroom, she never said a thing about the different truck.
3rd.
A free touch up for a lady we cleaned for last week. Wasted a whole glass of Merlot and a whole bottle Poof. Not a mention about the Lima bean.
4th.
Hubby was home for the first time. I always deal with the Missus. 4 br halls.. Were wrapping up and hubby walks by and gleefully says wow nice machine! Looks like it cost a fortune and it’s so clean and tidy! Big smiles!
5th...
Front door is open so I walk in to find John the high school shop teacher looking out the window at the Bean…
Where is the big truck Mike?
In the shop John, get the tranny serviced.
Mike I’m not cool with this what so ever. You didn’t tell me you were bring a small machine here. Mike I hire you because you have that big machine. If I knew you were going to bring THAT! I would have rescheduled but I’m trapped because we’re having furniture delivered on Monday.
John that truck is brand new and will do just a good as job as my other machine.
Mike you’ve always came here and sold me on how you were the only one with a big truck like that and how great of a job it does. If I wanted a small machine I could have hired Barry’s from Monterey or Stanley Steemer. I am not happy about this at all.
Dang John , you’re a hard ass!
Damn Right I’m a hard ass Mike. I’m about ready to tell you to leave and not comeback without that big machine. Quite frankly I’m PISSED!
John, John, this machine does the same thing, it heats and sprays water water and it sucks it out, with one wand it will work just as well.
Look don’t give me any of the crap, I hire you because of the big truck, I WANT THE BIG TRUCK!
Umm,. Dang, hey what is the saying about dicks? You know..
Oh and now you’re calling me a dick?
No, no, what’s that saying? Oh yeah, it’s not the meat, it’s the motion!! John this machine will get your carpet just as clean. It’s all about the pre vacuuming, the chemicals the agitation and how we dry it trust me.
John really the other truck is overkill with just one wand (in my best larry cobb impression) one wand can only move so many cfms before it bottlenecks up and you can only flow so much water..
Oh don’t give me that shit, if I let you clean with that thing I want you to guarantee that you’ll come back if we’re not happy and I’m already not happy.
Sure thing John!
Later..
He comes out to the truck in a few to ask…
How much are you going to charge me anyhow?
Same as always John, just our minimum, $165.
At this point his wife pulls up and the first thing out of her mouth is
Oh, where is the big truck, we really want that!
Honey do you want to pay $165 to get the carpet cleaned?
Miss R I promise this truck will do just as well, really it has the same amount of vacuum, even more heat and the same exact amount of water being used.
Oh well, I guess, do a good job Mike.
I’ll admit my feelings were hurt. We always spend a lot of time catching up with these folks; I clean for their kids and lots of their friends. They usually make or buy me lunch and we sit out on their porch and enjoy the view of the river talking story.
Now I know they were just using me for my 6008 blower.
I did butter them up with some kid and car talk will the chimp cleaned the carpet. He loosened up enough that I could tell him how the last guy was so impressed with the Lunchpail..He had to laugh..
6th job.
Empty office, thank god.
