Unexpected Request By the Installer (1 Viewer)

[chet]

We are having a range installed at our house. The delivery guys left it in the garage which was expected and the installers are going to bring it from the garage into the kitchen and install it. I brought them to the garage and they explained they are going to remove the doors and everything to make it as light as possible. I thanked them and said I'd be in the house if they needed anything. The guy looked at me and pointed to some stuff he had just taken off of the range and said, "If you're going in, do you mind taking in this?"



I wasn't expecting that.

 

[Wooderson]

Don't forget to tip yourself.

 

[xulf]

The horror.

 

[mquinnjr]

"Yes, I do mind. That's what I'm paying you for."

Report back.

That is an odd request no matter what anyone says here. Did you take it in? From a liability standpoint you would think they would want the customer as far away from the merchandise as possible. What if you broke something, were injured tripping over the door jam, etc are they responsible? roblemsoftherich:

I wasn't put out but I did think it was odd especially as he was going over the unit to look for scratches etc.

You sure that he wasn't engaging in a common, blue collared worker form of communication? I know these people like to engage in semi-witty banter that they call "ball breaking"... akin to joshing or ribbing you in an attempt to invoke a more lighthearted atmosphere.

Installer: Sir, do you have tools?

Me: Yes.

I: Do you have a socket set?

M: Yes.

I: YES (enthusiastically)

 

[Parrothead]

M: Yes.

I: YES (enthusiastically)

At this point, Id say they guy has zero professional etiquette.

 

[Weeber]

Offer to make him a sandwich for lunch? I'm sure he forget his lunch kit.

Actually he is just the installer right? The range was already delivered.

No. The other guy delivers appliances for a living. This guy installs them. I'm thinking a set of tools might be a prerequisite.

He's got to move these refrigerators. He's got to move these color tvs.

Agree that this is an odd request. This doesn't apply to you because of how rich you are but the shark move would be to take the stuff in, trip and fall on your way into the house, break your nose and then sue the company.

Me: Why would I need a tool when I have you?

:lmao;

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

"Unexpected request by the installer" does sound like the opening scene of a porno

 

[Jack White]

I thought this would be a porn thread.

**EDIT** Ha, Johnny beat me to it.

 

[Sinn Fein]

What was the installer's race?

 

[chet]

What was the installer's race?

I didn't ask but he looks like a 400m guy to me.

 

[Hov34]

I too was expecting this.

[Treynwreck3]

Was he high?

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

"Hey guy, you ever carry anything? You got any tools?"

Clearly ####### with you.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

He's casing the joint. Probably doesn't even work for the install company.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

I just hate when the help gets uppity.

 

[Super King]

"Hey guy, you ever carry anything? You got any tools?"

Clearly ####### with you.

Yep

 

[The Kerminator]

We need a higher standard around here for what is thread worthy

 

[jamny]

I hope you have explosion insurance
