So I really can't understand some people, and it does my head in a bit tbh.
I had a agreed a price with a customer to clean her house and two others next door. It was a family run farm so the other two houses were her parents, and then her brother. We agreed the price and I had already cleaned it a few times when she asked if I could clean a few inside windows for her, which I did.
I charged a small amount extra just to get a text later asking if there would always be an extra charge for inside windows going forward. I explained that yes, there would be. She wasn't happy about this expecting the extra work to be included in the price originally agreed! So I said that I have to charge for my time as I am making a living.
She wasn't happy about that, and ended up dropping me. She said that the price was going up too much, to which I replied that the price had remained the same, she was asking me to do extra work. She still wanted to leave it, which I must admit I was pretty relieved about, as she had been messing me around and was pretty demanding. I also think I had slightly underpriced the original job.
I just can't believe how some people think. Do they really believe that we will work an extra few hours for free? Or that all extra work is included in an original price where it wasn't even mentioned? I'm glad to be rid of her!!
