I agree. But at the time when I got the contract I was just happy to get it. It was one of my first commercial jobs. So I just grind it out every 6 weeks. It's only 500 sqft and takes me about 2 hours to clean. The pain in the ass part is getting the employees to move the tables and chairs. They never are ready for me, even when I call ahead.

I unceremoniously dumped a restaurant after they had me drive twice up to Chattanooga, only to say the day guy hadn't told the night guy, could I get done in 30 minutes? We rescheduled and when I returned, the night manager had forgotten and could we reschedule again?
I very kindly pointed out that he had cost me 400 miles and would need to call someone else who didn't mind getting jerked around.

Very kindly.

You'll learn to do a courtesy call before you leave your driveway.

What makes you think I didn't give a call? It takes a lot to get me riled and they got full marks for effort and outcome.

Lord kill me now! I'm here at IHOP and they are all locked up and everyone went home. I feel like choking someone right now. I even called them at 8pm!

I must have talked to the blonde waitress and not the manager!

In the last 30 years cleaned 1 restaurant at night & that was because the CEO & other bigwigs of Marie Callender's were touring the place the next day...started at 11:00 pm & finished at 5:00 am.

After we start working MGR tells me keep an eye on the back door, there has been a string of armed robberies of restaurants as soon as the last customer leaves & the El Torrito across the street got robbed last night...NO THANKS.

I use to clean a 24 hour truckstop that jerked me around a few times. I quit that account.

I have about 7 or 8 restaurants now that I make good money on and they treat me pretty good.
