Unfortunately, our cancellation system is not connected to the door hinges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Closing the door does not remove a registration, recover the time spent driving there, or put that stop back into the schedule for someone who actually wants us to show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It does, however, move us directly to the non-cancellation invoice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the invoice went out, the customer gave me the third degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I explained that Jesse had the door slammed in his face, the conversation went quiet. There was no response after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He had given me the impression that he still needed the blowout completed. I can\u2019t tell you what he intended, but I can tell you where we stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a strict policy against mistreating our technicians. Rude treatment earns a ban from future services, and the non-cancellation invoice still stands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To his credit, the customer has since paid the invoice, and we appreciate him taking care of it. That settles the billing, but it does not change our policy. We won\u2019t be returning to this property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our technicians work long days, tow expensive equipment through traffic, drag hoses, and spend the season trying to get everyone\u2019s systems winterized. They deserve basic courtesy when they arrive at a job someone asked us to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are not there to audition for how much disrespect they can tolerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t require a welcoming committee. Nobody needs to bake cookies, roll out a red carpet, or greet the compressor with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A reasonably civil conversation will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there\u2019s confusion about the service, explain it. If there\u2019s a problem, tell us. Those are things we can discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slamming a door in someone\u2019s face is also a form of communication. It just communicates that we won\u2019t be doing business together again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\ud83d\udccb Then Came the Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
