Holy Crap! Rent a Center...

[Chris A]

Guy from a Rent-a-Center store just called me about cleaning 5-6 sets (sofa+LS) of upholstery a week. The going rate.......$35 bucks a set. Jesus...

Dave Gill's from Florida would love it.

the worst part is, I asked if the furniture would be on the loading dock, and the guy says, "uh, usually they just run their hoses through the store." I'd have to hack them out with a stair tool to even make half of what I normally make on uph.

I told my mom I was going to do that on the flat sections. After removing her size 6 from my a$$, I just used my Hydrokinetic. Lesson; Some things are better left on the BB's.

I bet they are Rat F’n Nasty too. Junior use to work there and was telling me that the furniture comes back with loads of roaches.

I guess they probably figure that's the TIP.

Yeah Rent-A-Center is a scam their prices are outta this world you can rent for PS3 for like 30 dollars a month until its paid off which was (1900.00)... that was just a few months after it came out though. still their prices are insanely outrageous.

Chris,

Well, you told him you weren't interested in doing that job, didn't you?

 

[steve frasier]

somebody will do it, they will just call around until they find someone

 

[Ron Werner]

let'em call!

Chris,

yeah, the guy was pretty understanding about me not being able to touch their price, but a little disappointed because of our good rep. on upholstery, I told them if I could be of any help, to let me know. Their price is more or less set by the corporate office, apparently.

 

[Larry B]

Did he tell you about the $9.50 they pay to recolor or repair furniture? LoL

 

[minuteman]

F Um! They can afford to pay the right price, around $250.00.

i have a local buddy who did all r-a-c in town and thru volume he was doing around 8 grand a month just off r-a-c. he likes doing the r-a-c better than doing apartments.

tell them you'll do it and then dont show. When they call you back say " now you know how it feels to have your time wasted while losing the business money".
