Cleaner

Awkward conversation with the cleaner this morning.

Cleaner:

Isn’t there a cheque for me somewhere?”

HPDEB:

Umm, sorry? I don’t know what you mean..

Cleaner:

There should be a cheque for me.

HPDEB:

I don’t know anything about that.. do you want me to talk to Riddler?

Cleaner:

Yes, ask him to put the cheque on the table here for me. I’ll pick it up tomorrow.

HPDEB:

Umm ok..

Do we pay anyone on time?

I sent Riddler an email re: the cleaners. He responds…

Riddler:

Yes I’ve been waiting for him…. we need a little ‘quality’ chat. :)

I.e., wait until they’re done their job and are expecting the cheque and only then try and haggle with them, saying they haven’t done a good enough job. This is the same case as with what happened to Basil the web programmer.
