As the asshole gentleman was going about the measuring process I thought about flowers and spring blossom, fluffy cats
LOL, I know this experience.
I even thought about boobs...
The failure of that underlines what you had to deal with. Excellent you showed his self-entitled butt to the door. Better to find a new company and start again.
These days, it seems very much the case that this is what one experiences in attempting to do business with companies. I find better luck dealing with small businesses (once I screen them with an initial phone call).
I feel your pain. Good restraint.
I'm pleased you approve. I mean the work required is not insignificant and whilst there might be bigger jobs it's still business right?
I find I have less tolerance for fuckassery these days...Ok, never had much tolerance for it to be honest. 🤪
I'll find someone else and it'll progress.
You don't need my approval, lol. I deal with people like that in the same manner. They lose my business. Simple. Business is business and if someone cannot relate in a professional, respectful manner with effective listening and communication skills, I refuse to do business with them to the point that I'll find another way, or do it myself.
I have been operating with a zero tolerance policy for years. I find it amusing how they never understand what's wrong with their approach, even when explicitly told in a respectful and clear manner.
Exactly.
I rarely offer feedback to the person/company when they've been rude like the guy was yesterday. I figure they'll work it out on their own or not and no amount of input from me will help as it'll generally be ignored. So...They can fail all on their own.
I've moved on, called another company and have an appointment booked. We'll see how it goes.
LOLOL, I like your way of thinking. Don't waste energy on it, it's their problem.
Nice. I can hear you grimacing. I hope it goes much better this time.
I hope so too, a good result will be welcome.
