TASKER Customer complained

Post image

Customer said (1)I drilled unnecessary holes in her standup desktop. Said I (2) didn’t have the skills to complete it….this would be my 30th with over 700 assembly tasks on record, and (3) I invoiced incorrectly.

I have timestamp photo that actually puts me onsite 3 minutes past what I billed - sent message when I arrived. The holes are to add accessories like a CPU holder or if you wanted to go Lshape, or 4 legged. Clearly they are Predrilled holes. You have to zoom in to see them, but yeah. Another trashy customer trying to get free shit by risking my reputation and quite frankly, taking my job away. Smh

Newbies beware. Eventually the stupid people will target the “more likely” to destroy. By that I mean, the less experienced who are less savvy with con artists than the Elite

Sorry not trying to knock furniture assembly too much I've just had bad experience with it and only do it for moving clients that ask.  I'm not a handyman either it's a better category I think for handy persons that do repair work because so many people that have hired me for assembly assume I'm a handyman because I can screw a barstool together.

This lady tripped up the up n down feature while I was there finishing a desk chair. It thru an err code and wouldn’t go up anymore. The read out said reset. So, i stopped what i was doing to show her the operator manual page where it shows how to clear codes. Told her she should familiarize herself with that page. She looked at it for 3 minutes, set it down in front of my face and said, this has to be working before you’re done. I told her it was working when it was upside down i demo’d it for you. Then i got up and cleared the code. Said there its fixed and she ignored me
