Does anyone demand payment on job completion?

Did two jobs today and both customers took themselves off for the day right before the jobs were finished. When you bring someone in to do a job you should at least stick around to pay them or at least make arrangements for payment, not just p**soff. Does anyone have anything in their quote that states payment on completion or any think like it? Sick of waiting for money from customers, i don't take their money then make them wait for my work so why do they think its ok to take my work then make me wait for their money?

I thought it went without saying that you get paid when the jobs done, unless you say otherwise..

 

Mind you, depends on how faraway the job is for me..  if its round the corner I wouldn't give a monkeys if I got paid straight away, if I had to cross town, well I wouldn't be happy..

I can see your point. Crossing Bolton, (also known as cowboy country) can be dangerous.

 

I'm just glad you don't have to go collecting your dough in Ramsbottom.

Theres nothing dangerous about crossing Bolton, whats dangerous is making me cross Bolton twice to get my money..

 

Funny story about Ramsbottom now you mention it.. I only ever did one job there and that was years ago..  the fella I did the job for said his next door neighbor wanted my address..  recound I'd cut a couple of his bushes down so as to make it easier on me to cut the customers tree down..

 

Well they were sort of in the way getting on my nerves..
