You get a call from your customer complaining about your employees. What did they do?


Bill Bagley

I had an employee steal $300 from a fantasy football pool out of my client's drawer in his dining room. The client was the lead detective of the county sheriff's department. I drove to my now-former employee's apartment and had his money back 30 minutes later.

They stole a TV. True story.


Alfredo Graham

He drank all the wine and fell asleep on the La-Z-Boy with a chicken wing in his hand.


Classic Floors

My guy fell asleep in the customer's bed.


Parkers Hardwood Inc./Legacy Renovation

Long story, but we showed up with the homeowner at the employee's apartment to retrieve a stolen wedding ring.
