I swear today is a Monday.
I had a client that was dropping off one of their cars at 630. No big deal. He needs the backglass done and the lettering down the side before 900 so he can leave to pick up someone in Vegas. Still not a problem. He brought the car to me last Monday (not yesterday) just as he left the kia dealership. Kia rio white. Measured the backglass get it designed he approves the layout for the perf, it gets here yesterday. He drops the car off at 530. No big deal I was up getting ready for this car and a couple others.
He leaves. I go to pull the car in and its not the same car. It is a black kia rio hatchback. Window is way smaller than the other car and wont fit. Cuts off the start and ending of his business name. Second, the lettering on the car was suppose to be black on a white car.
Call the guy up and he told me that there was a problem with the other car on Friday, and so they switched it out with this one. Didn't think it would be a problem. Then he gets pissed at me when I tell him that he is going to have to pay for the first perf and another one that will actually fit on his car now as well as lettering for the side.
He said to put white on the sides and his logo on the backglass for now.
I did that, he picks it up and gets pissed that I charged him for the temporary logo on his backglass. He refused to pay for it and I just wanted to get him out of here as I had another guy bringing his truck in at 830. It is about 815 at this time. He then wants to pay with a check but wants me to hold it until Friday. Uhhhh No. Told him I was not accepting checks anymore unless it is a business check. That pisses him off and hands me a credit card. Run the card, with the total including the logo on the backglass. He signs the receipt and invoice.
He leaves and the next guy shows up. I have been applying sponsor decals on his race truck for the past couple months but not in about 3 weeks or so. When he called up, he said he needed to add another sponsor over the front fender. The sponsor is a client of mine and I already have the logo ready. I told him to stop by and I could put the decal on without him having to take it off the trailer as he needs to leave by 12 to head out to the next race location. He backs the truck up and I go look at it. Not a fricken sponsor is on the truck. He tells me He wants it with everyone else back on there in the same spot. Seven sponsors. The bed panels was partially wrapped with a sponsor logo added over top.
I was never told that it was a complete redo of the truck. Now he gets pissed when I tell him there is now way I can have everything back the way it was before 12. I need to cut everything and my 2 cutters have been going non stop already this morning getting out other peoples stuff that have given me enough time to get done but have also given me an incentive to get them done earlier.
Told him I would get done what I could get done and it would cost more because of the time crunch, but not to show up until he was ready to head out of town to pick it up at 12. Got his stuff on there and the biggest sponsors stuff on there along with 2 others. Didnt get mine on there but was getting ready too. He shows up at 11 and wants it now. He gets pissed that there is no Orange splash down the bed side. I told him I didnt have the right material for that. Didnt have the "right" orange he wanted and what I did have was not cast.
He leaves and get a call from the first guy from the day. He was stopped on the way to Vegas by ADOT police. Not DPS here in AZ but actually ADOT weigh station police. He was given a fine of $2500 for advertising on a private vehicle. They told him it had to be a business vehicle and licensed and registered that way. He is yelling and screaming at me saying he is going to sue me.
So ya this has been my morning so far. I have a van and another truck showing up in the afternoon and I do not want to do anything right now.
And to top it off, while just finishing my rant, my delivery shows up. I have 5 rolls coming in. 24x50 of 651 black, 24x50 751 black, 651 red, 651 white, and 751 Silver Metallic.
The 651's are correct the 2 751's came as 631. The invoice has 751 and the price for 751 but sent me interior crap. I needed the Silver for the Van coming in about an hour.
