Hi, I have workmen in my house installing gas interior heating. When they walked contained by I offered them a drink and something to eat which they took th drink and not anything to drink. I have just taken them another cup of coffee and a couple of biscuits respectively, to which one of them replied "have you emptied the cupboard" and laugh. What should I do? Take them more or offer them something else or leave it? What would you do if you be in my situation? I feel daft in a minute and should have taken the 2 packs of biscuits up
I would not give them anything since all you are doing is makeing the mission last longer and they charge by the hour.
It's very nice of you to tender them food and drink and I'm sure they appreciated it. These guys know where they are going to be working and usually take food and drinks near them to the jobsite or leave at lunch to get something. Let them do their point and you do yours. As they're leaving would be a good time to volunteer them a drink or snack if you want. Tell them there's another biscuit waiting for them, but only when they've finished the job to your indulgence! (with a wry smile too).
Most polite people would have simply thank you kindly for the biscuit. He's just josh with you. Josh 'em back, the cheeky monkey! By rights, he deserves a clip round the ear for such temerity!
Best of luck.
WHAT!! How ungrateful - wouldnt bother giving them anything else to eat OR drink.
I would also stand contained by their full view eating loads of biscuits & yummy things. If they are ingestion and drinking they are not working, but you are still paying their wages.
They are workmen not guests, let them carry on with it or they will be there adjectives night.
Let them drink and eat as much as they want, and when the final invoice comes, deduct it bad the total.
They're taking liberties.
Answers: Are you serious?
Did you sign a contract truism that you must provide them with constant food? No? Well?
Id just disappear it now, that is more than plenty for them! There was no need for him to come out beside that sarcastic remark after you've treat them well. dance hide in the other room
ur loss of composure will wear off
u r not obligated to give them treats and if they mocked u or sort a joke that hurt ur feelings later shame on them.
they dont deserve ur treats anyways!
As I'm a tradesman that works contained by other peoples house's I am well appreciative of a nice cuppa now and again so I other look after anyone working in my house. These two guys are just taking the p-ss have they said that to me they would have been wearing the tea & biscuits when you run to work yourself do take packed lunch,or buy something when you can?this applies to the workers as very well,let them provide for themselves.by catering for them it wont reduce their bill,but will cost you more within the long run.
