the ten commandments

[Bobbygedd]

i think we should make a list of 10 things that a lawn service owner should, or shouldn't do. we will call them the "ten commandments". when they are done, they will be carved in stone, and delivered to me, on the mountain top. i'll start- the first commandment: "THOUGH SHALT not allow thy customers to be in charge. they shouldn't even speak to you unless they have a smile on thier face, and always in a soft tone. AND UNDER no circumstances, by penalty of cancellation without refund, shall they look you directly in the eye when speaking, or being spoken to." we have 9 more, anyone have anything?

Thou shalt not start retarded threads. Hows that for # 2 ? Good, we'' go with it. # 3 next.

It is the constant breaking of these commandments that have inspired me to develop a new Mowdus Operandi for this year and forward.

#3. Customers may not add swingsets, pool, slides, carnival rides, dogs, dirigibles, gnomes, fairys, whirlygigs, butterflies, gazing balls, or other such nonsense, without first consulting the lawn care provider to discuss the price increase involved with maintaining the property after the addition of such obstacles, i.e., garbage.

#4. Thou shalt wind hoses after each use.

[hardboiled]

Alright I seem to have misread your words in the beginning. I think a ten commandments for the cutomer is also in order. #3 and #4 will be part of that tablet.

Thou shall never make a surprise appearance when you thought they were gone while "watering" on there property.

[jgc8fan]

Thou shalt not turn off thy irrigation system to try and "save money"... Thou shalt also not ask thy honorable lawn care provider to "come earlier" knowing that the irrigation system will be running at the time thy lawn care provider is to arrive.

[PremierLawnscapes]

thou shalt not start a sentence with "while your here, can you..." without a blank check in your hand for your LCO
