Default I want to know...

When a customer misses a payment but then calls you later during the week saying, "you can pick up your money now - I'll either be home or you can check the mailbox" but never happens? He wasn't home & no money in his mailbox for me?


What does that mean? That he'd think I'd be generous enough to mow the lawn before I checked for my money? HA!




Another thing I want to know is when I get a missed call, I call it back right away saying,

"This is Scott from Breeze Lawn Service, I had just missed a call from this number"


Person: "No one called you from this number"


This happens to me twice a month!


People might call from an office & surely it would be hard to contact the interested person out of all the working staff - though these are homes calling me. I have reversed searched them like the stalker I am.

... What's up with all the dead squirrels on the roads now? Holy crap man... Sign of good luck perhaps?

What did you do when you showed up and the money wasnt there? Did you call them back? What did they say then?

Scott, you should consider doing what I do, just scoop them up and hang them on a peg on your wall. It TOTALLY helps with good luck.
