Real or not I have run into this before... I hired a kid once when I was mobile to help me out and he was literally CLEANING OUT THE CHANGE in customer cars! Since then I have no trust for hiring people to work with me cause I am not there to babysit them and make sure they don't steal or to make sure they do things the right way and make the proper presentation of the car when finished...

OP What say you????
 
First job I had cleaning up cars was in the late 70's working for a VW dealership. The gentlemen who owned the dearlership's son was the Asst. GM. He used to go thru cars as a QC check after we cleaned them and take anything he could find. Mind you he made bank at the time, was not much older than me and was a real jackhole.
 
As a wrestling coach, when you said "what I find is mine" you would have gotten launched!

I agree. Whether the post is fake or not...it still hit home for me with a similar situation. I had a guy helping me bust out some dealership vehicles, and he found a GPS under the seat. He thought it was ok to keep it! He actually kept it for weeks, until he slipped and told one of my other guys...who then turned around and let me know.

I confronted him about it and he literally said this..."Well, I figured I'd just keep it and see if they said anything. They didn't...so I kept it. It's not like it's theirs anyways, it's a dealership car!" Fired.

The odasity of people blows my mind!
 
It is a joke right. cant make that ---- up. wow and then you wonder what is wrong with people.
 
Hey if its change that gets sucked up in my vacuum I have no problem letting them go through it lol
 
This has to be a troll. I'll guess the guys with really low posts are the same dude trying to keep the thread going.
 
This is where the guy comes back and tries to save an ounce of face with "ummm, I was just kidding guys! Can we still be cool?" :bash:

Any and all money that I find while cleaning a customer's car gets placed in a small ziplock bag and placed in an obvious place in the vehicle... Usually it surprises them and they tip me but some look at it and thank me then go on their way... I would never keep a customer's money that was found in their car....

I used to put a few dollars in my console or under the seat before I took my car for service of any kind and if they were gone when I got the car back and not in a visible place or handed to me that place was then black listed by me and honestly I told every friend and family member not to go there... That is theft...

I don't know if you were just kidding with the customer or not and I am not trying to attack you or your character by any means... I am just saying what I do and what is professional...

Now have I been tempted? Yes I have but have I ever taken anything from a customer's car (besides a few cents that my vac may suck up)? No...

That's the only way to run a business. You should be proud of yourself. I am.

Hi everybody.
Buying ziplock bags and filling them with all items and ALL THE MONEY that was in the vehicle is a great way to get REPEAT BUSINESS AND REFFERALS. Detail the vehicle thoroughly and then place the filled ziplock bag inside the vehicle's center console,then get ready for the extra business.
