Can you believe the mentality of some customers????
Doing a height reduction on this willow today, and after the "little twerp" had finished pruning the fringe, was about to cut out his high anchor and the customer came out and insisted it stay as it was!
So here you go, thoughts please, would you be happy?

To be fair, that ain't going to look good if the "high anchor" was removed!!!

Re: Can you believe the mentality of some customers????
These customers were a bit different, they paid up before we started
 So, is it reasonable to leave the job knowing you had been paid? |

Trouble is that could fergle your reputation when people ask who did it!
