What to do when you arrive and no one answers

[Mick Dempsey]

So are you still waiting outside?

 

I had a biggish job over an hour away chipper, 2 trucks, four blokes, money in if we did it in a day, that sort of thing.

Anyway we turn up at 9ish and the gates are locked, so I start phoning the client who lived 2 minutes away, she finally answered all sleepily and said she'd be there asap. 15 minutes wasted x 4 = I working hour.

5 minutes later she arrives with some coffee with the excuse that "she's not really a morning person" as if that's an actual medical condition.

"I'm not really a morning person" translation "I'm a lazy inconsiderate so and so"

That's for another thread really I suppose.

Had the same this morning, had to book a job at short notice as planned work for this weekend went pointy bits up last night, so rang customer and she checked with tenant who said they would be in this morning, got there and no car and no answer at door so cracked on regardless.
