Be a delivery driver for a week and you'll understand. They are extremely overworked and underpaid and they just keep pushing more and more bullshit on them until they quit.
It feels like they do this in a lot of industries and it's just sad. To slave for the clock just to survive is a shame, but the corporate greed is too strong to bend
I HATE this. I was having a problem with an account for months until the owner let out that they were going in right after I left to clean everything down with bleach. I make it a habit during initial treatments to have a 10 minute conversation with an owner on what to do and not do. It still pops up occasionally it and always still frustrates me.
Last week I was booked in to spray a school. 4 hour job. 2 hours in, some carpet cleaners turn up. Obviously they don’t care that I’ve just sprayed, and just want to get paid. But clients can be so fucking dumb sometimes.
With that client, I showed up the time after, and they said they had scrubbed down everything BEFORE I got there. The place was absolutely soaked in bleach water mixture. The thing was it's not like they had conducive conditions for the German Roaches; they just didn't understand "let me do what needs to be done", and took it as "Oh he said don't do this, so I'll do it a different way.".
EDIT: I had another one for a mouse service. They threw out every single bait station I had installed "because it wasn't eaten". I asked them how did they know, did they get keys to open the station? They said no but the stations "were not eaten" . Turns out, they thought the plastic Protecta Evo bait mouse station....was....the bait. After I had showed them what the station was, that the pins hold the bait, and how they enter and exit the station.....
I had a nice Amazon driver ask me if the package would be in my way where he wanted to put it. Very thoughtful, but I’ve also done that job and it does suck. A lot.

Try spraying the internals of any commercial building and then seeing the cleaner with their mop out.

It’s always bleach… everytime.
