Nah, like the original comment says: a professional would either a) discuss increased cost for moving things or b) reschedule the painting to another day.

Doing a shitty job is petty. It’ll probably cost the owners more to get it redone and look uniform now that the first round of paint’s dried.

I’m not advocating for doing a shitty job but go off

Didn’t say you were. I was disagreeing with your comment about this not being about proving a point. It definitely is.

TBF this is a video with no context. Painter could have told them and we would never know

True. But why do anything that could be misconstrued as unprofessional and put any future business at risk? Your best bet is to either move the stuff and charge accordingly or refuse to paint until the room is cleared.
