He was part of a two-man latino team, apparently contracted to do the windows of the local ANZ bank.
Anyhow, what annoyed me was he had a better pole than I had; an Ettore gold-anodized number next to my $40 Oates hardware store stick was humiliating!
So, next week I'm going to order a better pole than he's got.
You betcha.
Interestingly, but not at all related to the immigrant workers; while "cleaning" the supermarkets windows I had an old man - waiting for the store to open at 8:00am - stop and ask me what I used to clean windows. I told him "this and that, bla bla"then he goes on top complain to me about the cleaners who do the windows in the block of units he and his wife live in.
His primary complaint was that these men come along with really long poles with water spurting-out and they don't do a good job.
In other news, an old lady pulled-in outside the store as I was finishing-up; she had bird **** on the rear side window so - being the helpful guy I am - I offered to wash it off for her. She was delighted of course and accepted my offer, so while she was inside shopping I washed the bird plop off, then did the rest of the windows on her car while I was at it.
Don't see no mexican contractors doing that! Nono /emoticons/smile.png
