No call, no show. First day. I gave them a second chance. 3 hours late and they finally call and ask to reschedule. I informed them I’ve lost about 6 hours of wages at this point waiting on them and refuse to waste anymore.
I work as a service electrician and I know how to treat a customer. This isn’t it.
