WDR job. The ball was dropped regarding communication about what subs or in house workers were to do what tasks and relate that to the customer. I apologized profusly to the customer 5 times, said I understood her frustration and I would personally take care of the rest of the job regarding scheduling and communications. This was her next expression of disatifaction:
Customer "You said you were going to move the washer"
Al " We did, was there a problem?"
Customer "No the installer did and he didn't have any help"
Al "Well, the installler works for us so "we" did move the washer, just as if the WDR tech moved it who works for me"
Customer "Well, he didn't have any help and it's real hard on a washer to be moved by one person"
Al "Did he damage it, is it dented or anything broken? I have moved a hundred washers by myself and it is not that hard."
Customer : Well, it leaked when he put it back and I think that is because it's hard on an appliance to be moved by one person"
Al in a very serious voice "Mrs. Jones are you saying the washer knows how many people moved it?"
Customer heavy sigh "I'm busy now so I have to go"
