Is this going to be the next "Best" thing? You move too fast. I still haven't got my red handle :)

And good morning.. My day should be interesting. My notes say my first job requested I wear booties. Here I go.
I was right. My first job today was a nut case. Followed me all around the house making sure I had my booties on. Even after I laid down 60’ of neoprene mats, she still followed me around. Then she ran into the walk-in closet and set up a nanny cam to watch me. Unbelievable.

You should have sucked the nanny cam through the vac hose. And sweetly explain that you did it, so that she can bear witness to the quality of your cleaning through watching the color of the recovered water, live.

Another 'Norman 74' missed opportunity :winky:

I really do not see the point of booties.

Besides making you slide on hardwood and tile.

It might look good when you first enter the house, I suppose.

Back when I was a younger jerk, I had an old jerk insist that I wear booties. I didn’t like him much, so I told him I didn’t have any. He responded by saying “you’re not going to walk on my carpet with those shoes on!”

I responded by saying “you’re right. I’m not going to walk on your carpet.”

And I left.

As I was pulling out of his driveway, his wife was cussing him for running me off.

They’d moved most of their furniture and breakables.

Sure, I lost a customer and I could have used his $300, but I didn’t like him. And if he had any friends, they would have all been drunk VFW goobers too. So I didn’t miss them much.

You want to know what I’m really worried about? When I was In that walk-in closet there was a big framed picture of the customer sitting on a boat wearing a bikini with her big veiny pregnant belly displayed. When I saw the picture I made a terrible face, as if I had sucked on a Lemon. I just pray to god she didn’t notice that. It was an uncontrollable reflex.

I occasionally run into the “take your shoes off” customer.
And I do, for the quote visit. It is just respectful.

During the visit, I mention that I must wear shoes when cleaning to avoid being poked with tack strips, pins or glass fragments. I assure them that once everything is at the door, I will clean my shoes to prevent anything from being tracked in.
I also microfiber mop as I leave.

So far, not a single problem.

Should've put some booties on and tripped on them as you walked in and then ask them if they have insurance.

If you have arthritis or tendonitis your going to hate those vinyl cuffs when the temp drops. It got to where I couldn't get them apart. Cool Cuffs and Greenglides saved my cleaning career.
