Psshhh are you kidding? Our guy still had to either unwrap a bunch of trash from it before he would install his part. You wanna know who did the delivery? The guy who changed the locks last week probably.
@@49ER_WAYzyeah bro i do service in San Francisco and the peninsula it be all the techies who try to get you to do twice the work for half the price. I get it, people moved here from other states so they’re shocked by the prices. Whenever i deal with someone who’s really from frisco they know what it is. At one point Sf was the most expensive city on the planet so they know what it really means to live here. What pisses me off is these techies have high paying jobs and live in multi million dollar houses in CALIFORNIA where people literally dream of coming to someday. To put it into perspective ive had guys who wanted me to put water heaters in for $1500… like bro not even a handyman would do it for that price in this area
@@patrick39140 pretty sure hes talking about supplying unit plus install, not just labor. Besides that, customers here in CA wanna "pay for the parts" so you charge only labor, but still expect you to make the list of parts they need for them(bypassing paying for your knowledge/experience) and then to pick up the parts after they pay (bypassing/ignoring cost of fuel/time spent picking up parts). Then they want u to think that them paying for parts benefits the us, the contractor, when in reality they just wanna bypass markup on time/material, then they want to lowball the labor, AND THEN expect you to provide extra work/services than you originally agreed upon and pay the same cheapskate price.
Bruh you're not kidding. I was asked to do a floor for a bedroom. When I arrived to do the work, the whole room was full. I packed up and left. Told client, I agreed to do the floor, not be your personal moving service. Good thing you stood up for yourself. They were trying to get a free service.
when I was a mover I cannot tell you how many times people said they were going to clean their house and you get there the whole house is packed, dressers are completely full, nightstands have s*** all over them
Unfortunately my boss doesn’t have the balls to tell someone we won’t do something. We went from HVAC guys to plumber, electrician and NOW we’re carpenters.
No bro I been there Every week my 🤡 of a boss would like add too our responsibilities. But money always seemed to be push to the side of the conversation you better leave!!
Customer's Viking range was red tagged by gas utility. Customer moved the heavy ass stove downstairs into the garage for storage while the kitchen hardwood floor was being refinished. Customer called for stove repair, it was condemned because there was a gas leak from the stove. There was no gas hookup in the garage to check for gas leaks and had the nerve to ask me to move it back upstairs now that the kitchen floor was finished. Told her I was a technician, not a mover. Lol
That's fuckin right!! I live in mass so people know the value of plumbers for the most part and don't bother us with that stupid shit but there will be a time in my future I'll get stupid requests like that I'm sure lol!
Legit question, but why would you connect actual gas to a stove that is already known to have a leak? Don't you have some kind of identifier gas to use for that? Like in a portable tank? Like in my truck shop, we charge AC systems with nitrogen because why would we pump freon into the air and where we're breathing if we already know it's going to leak out.
About 10 years ago I was riding my bike down the road when a lady stopped me and asked for help moving a new refrigerator into the house. They had it on the dolly and up to the door just couldn't get it lifted up the threshold and inside the kitchen. Took me less than 3 minutes and she gave me five bucks.👍
@@desertodavid The country would also be a lot better off if people thought before they acted. Plan ahead and you won’t need to have random people save you from your problems.
When I ran my own plumbing crew, we did everything from brain surgery to C-sections and RICO defense in court to appliance delivery alongside baby delivery while pleasing their wives while husband was "stranded another week or so in Dubai"
Totally agreed. We move appliances all the time for new flooring, sometimes completely out of house . Toilets are one thing. But refrigerator full of food and washer dryer that doesn't fit through doorways is no braino
I love when the customer says "oh well did you try it this way" like your not a master of spatial recognition at this point. Bitch it won't fit, stop ✋
As an electrician I not only appreciate you handling clients like this but I even more appreciate the 6' hose so I can get behind it if/when that outlet back there fails.
Nah if he really knew his worth he'd say "Okay" and arrive at 6am and start the clock on his hourly rate because he "didn't want to miss the delivery."
I got to give my clients reality checks like this a lot cause they think since I’m a painter, that I’m also a cleaner, a carpenter, a roofing guy, a mold specialist, etc. and it’s ALWAYS the clients that expect perfection without paying for it!
I run a home appliance store and you should see the amount of clients that ask my delivery guys to do your job.. Hell no we wont connect the water, we're not insured for that! 😂
The problem is a salesperson told them that you would. Doing freight delivery I had a lot of people that ordered stuff online that was just liftgate delivery to the end of their driveway. I'd be nice and put it in the garage but they would want that new fridge unboxed in the house the old one removed plugged in handles put on.
Yeah facts. My landlord had a gas stove delivered, told me the guys would install and take the old one away. They were like no sorry sir we just deliver (I don’t blame them, at least they brought it to my kitchen). Ended up having to watch RU-vid how to hook up a fucking gas stove thought I was guna blow myself up
I had a client once I refused to do the shower body. I was unsure I says we'll send someone else over and as I was walking out. She was cherping on me. I says I could've been an Astronaut she called my boss and told him. I was drunk Never ever. Did I drink on a job ever🤌 Dbag👎🏾👎🏼🌬🩶 Pitcher saying that an messing with the man's livelihood false Accusations.😔
I appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail. The only way I would move stuff is if we supplied it, and last I checked the supply store don't sell stoves... water heaters and toilets yes.
Hahahahha I had one client ask me to spray the multiple wasp nest in her attic. I told the lady, I’m here for by our attic fan replacement. I’m an electrician not an exterminator. She wasn’t happy so said the light bulb I installed last visit was flickering. I told her to buy a new one and would swap it for her, just like last time. 🤯🤯🤯
Everyday my guy. I go to a house to fix the fridge; “can you look at sink” “my water heater needs to be drained and cleaned” “ the circuit breaker panel is loose and arching” ; well mam or sir, it looks like you need a plumber and an electrician. I fix appliances.
My favorite is when the customer expects us to clean up their shitty water / feces after having a sewer stoppage cleared … I’ll always respond… “ Folks you hired a licensed plumber not a janitorial service” 😅… ps. Broski those old school gas valves such as you left on that range , are almost always going to seep from the bottom of the center core ( at the tension spring) i’d suggest a full port AGA ball valve ( don’t even need to shut the gas service down ) Love the vids my guy 👍
Lol I get this now and then and will sometimes accommodate for the right price. Also way too many people use the short flex lines and it kills me so very thankful for common sense.
Or the infamous all too common “hey I have a great idea! Let’s make this [insert would-be billion dollar startup cost super complicated] app since you know how to code and we can get rich from it!” 😂 You know… you know how to code… you know how much work is involved… they just spit out feature after feature as if you just select them from a menu and they magically appear in the app with millions of users 😂
My dad worked for RotoRotor for over 20 yrs...he has his own business now...I worked with him for over a year and we put ALL in when customers asked.....the cast iron tub was the worst...but I agree with you and love the videos!
I don't see anything wrong with the customer asking that, as long as he's willing to do 2 things 1) accept a no 2) be willing to pay extra.... These guys work hard enough as it is, if you're going to ask extra, be ready to pay extra.
Same in the UK. Errrr no you called for a price to install the new one you supplied. If it’s in the lobby of the building I can’t install it!! The best ones are where they expect you to take the old appliance away as well 😂
Yes sir. That's how you do it. Thumbs up 👍 for you. Got to keep them customers in check. That's how I used to be working low voltage and tech for this grest smalled bussiness whose boss always tried to be nice to the costmers which boiled down to us braking our backs. Good job keeping that customer in check.
I build transmissions and I ask people to leave their cars for appointments, sometimes they're like "can I wait while you check it?" I'm like "uh, we'll what if it needs some work, I can't fix it while you're driving down the road..."
Usually I just tap the like, because I'd be writing the same message everytime I see one of your vids about how funny (and I learn something) they are, this one had me laughing all the way thru!
This is why new yorkers a lot of money because the tough and discipline when it comes to business just like your brother I watch a lot of your videos and I see it on you
Yes brother I have to agree with you 110%. He probably saved on the cost of bringing the fixtures up and dumped it On you like a big you know what?💩👈 🌬✌️♥️💪
as someone who had to remove the dishwasher (to eventually replace the drain hose with check valve) I appreciate the extra long hose. I swear they only left 2 inches of slack in the electrical line.
It looks like you're using the classic channel locks. I do too. I've been thinking of upgrading to the knipex or something of that nature. But I have no problems with the ones I got. Do you think it's worth it?
We were delivering/assembling at Whirpool/JB Hunt. I was with one the guys who was used to Electrolux and was moved there to get acquainted. We’re delivering this bed to a customers home & it was uncrate/haul trash (no assembly) They tried to make us assemble the bed along with moving the old bed out the room (not on paperwork) I had to explain that to the customers housekeeper. We uncrated removed the trash and left. If it’s not on the paperwork, it’s not getting done.
I did power washing for apartments ... Passed notes 30 days to not leave your car in the area only a few read it i had people telling me i had to wash their cars cause i over splashed hahahaha yeah GL
Landscaping. We have customers who have been with us or our guys for 15-20 years. For them its nothing to bring in the empty garbage, change a light bulb. Its why we send an extra guy with each truck, do the little things to make our customers happy with us. Then if we have a week of rain, so we can't make it and when we do it might be too long to do the kind of standard we aim for. But they never complain about it. Invest in that goodwill fund with long term clients, we can pay them to do our advertising for us.
Looks good bro. Yeah, some people really don't know who does what. You wouldn't believe the requests I would get when I was doing residential internet connections. 😂
As an apliance repair an installation tech i would have just installed the whole thing with the gas line connected and ready to turn on and test the unit if not how am i gonna know if the stove/oven are working amd arent defective. I have gotten a brand new stove for a customer through warenty and it came with a bad ignitor so they had to go back out and replace it.
Broski don't beat your brain/heart out this Clint knew what was involved. He tried to pull a fast one on you but gave it to him what was coming to him was good for you.
FUCKING EXACTLY! That's what the residents expect. Especially NY, East Coast & any other states in the US. If the client has money & lives in a multifamily environment that's usually the case. Your vids always make me laugh! I'm a licensed flooring contractor with a specialty dual Lic(CR). Most of our work is downtown area of Phx & multifamily. Take care my man.
