I'm sure we all deal with this at some point but I wish we know before hand not to do jobs for them, for the most parts I'm getting better at spotting them but sometimes I missed.
I had this customer I did the tile and grout for last week, clean and seal, our mistake is not to dry the sealer on the tiles, found out earlier today from Dave about that, so the sealer smeared on the tiles, all over, long story short, we scrubbed with floor machine and extract, but even then we still had to go over some areas a couple extra times, even then the customer was literally checking every freaking tiles for even a slight line of sealer and had us to go over that again, spent a total of 5 hours 3 man labor to get this done, between labor and gas I'm almost in the red Crying Firing Cat

I like that you still made a profit despite spending all that extra time. That is a guy who knows how to make a profit.

Cover her tree with TP for Halloween. Just leave a note saying it was "TP from DP". Laughing
