At first, I was surprised by the positive reviews about this company, because when I stopped to talk to the young man who had been sitting in our parking lot for half an hour, he was unnecessarily rude, BUT it looks like these reviews are mostly written by landlords and realtors. If the people who write the checks don't care if the workers are rude to the tenants, that's a different problem.
This is what happened:
Their truck and some random items were in the middle of the exit lane for 5 cars for about 30 minutes. He had his eyes in his lap, so I assume he was reading his cell phone.
I came out of my garage, riding my disability scooter, with my dog in tow, for our morning walk and noticed that the truck was still there. I knew I would need to get out of my parking spot and hoped he would not be there much longer.
When we came BACK from the walk, the truck was still there, with the man inside, reading his lap. I approached him, with a big smile and a motion to roll down his window. I tried to talk to him, but he was impatient. He said he would move if someone needed to get out.
I was OBVIOUSLY not going to be able to climb 2 flights of stairs to go find him and tell him when I needed him to move, so I opened my mouth to ask him if he would either give me his phone number or if he would prefer that I honk my horn and he could listen for the sound, but he just rolled the window up on me before I could get out the rest of my sentence!
I motioned for him to roll down the window and tried again to ask him that question, but he said "I'm finished," and he rolled up the window again, wearing a look of utter disdain!
So, of course, I realized he had no intentions of ever moving - especially for the disabled lady on the scooter.
Obviously, I was going to have to change my schedule for the day. Thank God I did not have another doctor's appointment. Having to change my schedule was inconvenient, and it meant having breakfast at 3 pm instead of 11:45 - but I couldn't force someone who couldn't even bother to speak to me properly! I had to just pivot and change my plan for the day.
When I was a young person, I was especially fond of older people, and I loved listening to them talk. I would not dream of being rude to my grandma or any of her friends! I always felt they had earned our respect, having seen so much of life. My male contemporaries were even MORE kind and sweet to the older ladies they encountered. I am having trouble understanding this trend I am seeing with this segment of today's younger people. Thank God they're not ALL like that!
While I was not writing the check for this guy's work today, I have PLENTY of friends in this town who WILL be in the market for these type of services and they will NOT use this company. read more
