Have any of you ever managed to get the full and going LA rate from an up-chucker? It's a £70 Valeting fee up here but the most i've successfully redeemed is £40.00, trouble is you've no leverage to get them to pay up.
Had a few over the years - got a lot-lot more than I did not. On one occasion I picked up 3 students with one of the girls really looking the worse for wear. I pointed out that if she chucked it was £50....yeah alright drive. We got to the end of the journey and up it came, as you can imagine I was livid. My request for the £50 was met by a fit of giggles from the puker - which really wound me up, followed by we have not got the money - drive. We were on the campus so I took my mobile out and started taking pics, only to be asked as to what good that was going to do? My retort was that I will be back in the morning to show the Principal what has happened, to show him/her that you are unprincipled people - stating that most probably this will be entered into your CV, which will not be good reading. Immediately one of them wanted the nearest cash point - a result.
I guess the point being is......you have to have a plan "B", i.e. I have even asked for the puke money up front with the persistent "He/she never pukes drive", ok not a problem but just to cover the bases money up front. Only once did I ever get the money up front - the rest walked away.
