Sick of hearing from customers, "working late, huh?"

[JL 0513]

Along with winter's short daylight comes this constant comment from customers. It's one thing if it's after 8, but I'm hearing it in the 5 o'clock hour. Just because it's dark doesn't mean it's late people. I don't have bankers hours like you. So for 3 hours a day I have to respond. I often say "always". In July, if I have a long day and it's 8pm I never hear it. Because it's still light out.

What do you guys say?

Yeah I have developed a head down walking at a brisk pace when it comes to that comment.

It's all relative bro. How many jobs do you know of that can make the $ and benefits you do with just a high school diploma? There will always be some tradeoffs for the $.

Totally agree with ya dude, but still you know dude. Hours are just ridiculous in the grand scheme of things. Just show up for work and go home, do your time at ALCATRAZ n get out lol.

You also have to realize, you would never make the same $ anywhere else doing the same job. The reality of this industry is you can't have your cake and eat it too. You ultimately have to choose what is most important to you. Time or $.

It's a wonder why our system can't be set up to move the volume to centers early enough and have it so preload could be wrapped by 7:30am. And drivers could be on road at 8am. Run resi's for an hour and start businesses at 9. Is it really a complete impossibility?

Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I heard it at 5:15 last Wednesday. On a day I punched out at 8:15. Helper was a no show. I felt like saying, "Late?, I haven't even taken lunch yet!"
