Last night we did out hospital bi-weekly account then progressed to a filthy shopping center. This center has never been cleaned and the mold on the sidewalks is the worst I have ever seen in my brief stint of commercial cleaning.
I called the city prior to lunch to have a meter put onto the hydrant because of the local Barney Fifes being really nosey. As soon as we got there an officer came roaring into the parking lot lights on flash lights out and in our faces. She asked what were doing, I replied working, then why are you hooking up to the fire hydrant for water, don't you know thats illegal, i then replied yes thats why i had a meter installed by your city to make it legal. Then she ranted and raved about the noise of our machines and so on but left after a brief chat.
Within 3 minuets my helper walked back to his car on the other side of the parking lot to get his phone, and she came roaring back into the lot with her spot light on him. She interrogorated him for 25 minuets, running his liscense, calling another local PD that has his liscense suspended and checking for warrants. She did not see him get out of his car nor did she see him get the phone from it so for all she knows he rode with me there. WHO DO I SEND THE BILL TO FOR HIS 25 MINUETS OF MISSED WORK?
After this happened we got back to work, and someone pulled up to my bumper started fumbeling around in their vehicle and immediatly i grabbed the shotgun thats on the trailer and also cocked the hammer of a little 25 in my pocket not knowing what was going on. This fool came up trying to sell me something and i gave him the look and told him were trying to make a DA*N living and we dont have time for his SH**. He left and we proceded to continue along the shopping center.
After about 3 hours passed we got back to the hydrant and started it up again filling, another cop came over in the same fasion lights on, flash lights in our faces, wondering who is going to pay the bill for the water were using and don't we know thats illegal. I immediatly turned on my light thats on my head and had it in his face, then turned to show him the meter and he understood what was going on.
All in all we did not finish the center last night and will have to go back tonight to finish. Were e-jetting 12% down and letting it dwell for 15-25 minuets before cleaning it. Were having to go as slow as a turtle crawling on goose poop. I posted a couple of photos as well as a little demo i am doing for CVS's reigonal. there is a CVS at this center and they had a recent slip and fall lawsuit at this partictular store. They had someone wand it but it looks like crap.
Does anyone else ever have the local cops bothering them when they can plainly see them working?
