Well, we paid to have all of the carpets cleaned yesterday, and I have to say I was not too happy.  When the guy was done cleaning the carpets, I go to write him a check (even after the price is more than what was quoted to me on the phone by the office) and he pulls this one:

Carpet Cleaner Man: “Ooh, I am sorry, I need you to pay cash for today’s services.”

Me: “What, are you serious?  I have used this company about a hundred times and paid by check every time?”

Carpet Cleaner Man: “Yeah, well she should have told you over the phone, everyone who works on 4th of July Weekend, gets to keep (3) of their jobs as a bonus, so that’s why we need the payment to be cash.”

Me: “Well I was never told that on the phone.  Why wouldn’t she have told me that?”

Carpet Cleaner Man: “I am sorry maam, I am not sure, would it be possible for you to run to an ATM?”

WTF?  Does this guy think I am an idiot?  I know damn well he is lying and that he is going to write on my ticket that I cancelled the cleaning and pocket that money.  So fine, Todd ran to the ATM just to get this guy out of the house.  But here we are this morning and the stains are all coming back as you can see here:

And this was not a stain prior to the cleaning, but Ashton thought it would be a good idea to add a new one here by dumping daddy’s drink:

I will be calling the company on Monday and discussing all of this with them and letting them know that they will be returning to re-clean the carpets.
