Just had a customer who came in to put a deposit down on a trailer her son is renting, who was supposed to be in later to do it himself. I have no problem with people doing that, she was his mother and he's renting the trailer to pick up new furniture for her. Only problem is I can't finish the paper work without having her son's license.
She then thinks I'm just going to take her money and then say she never put any down. She was serious too, I told her no I wouldn't do that. As soon as her son calls to give me his info I could finish the paper work and select that she put down a cash deposit. She still asked me how she knew I would do that and just not take her money. Like WTF!?! I know some people might be afraid someone would do that but I've never been accused of possibly doing such a thing. If anything I have people who screw me over on paying their bill. I assured her that I would mark the contract with a cash deposit and told her that she'll be getting money back from the deposit. I can't finish the paper work without putting down a form of payment. She accepted that but still told me not to be taking her money as she left.
Hopefully when she or her son comes back in to get their change I get an apology. I'll have to remember to make a point of saying "see nothing to worry about here's your change"
I mean right now I have to wait for her son to call me with his info, and how do I know he will do that and not just come take the trailer then bring it back over the weekend? Then they could just claim that they didn't take the trailer and ask for their money back. Damn I should have said that to her, crap!
What has this world come to? I know there are shady business people out there but jeeze...
oh well /rant for now
