The one thing I hate more than anything is when people try to scam you. I don't know if it is the Sicilian in me or what but it literally makes my blood boil.
If I have learned anything in life, its get it in writing. Especially since I've had so many work experiences where people say one thing in person and another thing in writing.
Anyways,
(e:terry) made a verbal agreement to pay DJ Lulu $300 for the party. I remember him coming home to discuss it in the first place and I thought $300 seemed steep but he had his heart set on it.
He tried to pay her before the party but she said she would rather be paid that night. To be fair, she did a great job, he even planned to tip her an extra $100.
At the end of the night her aggressive manager bitch was asking everyone for cash which until that point I thought was pre-paid or electronically arranged. I asked whoever was asking me if I could Google Wallet her the money but apparently she needed it in cash because she was flying to NYC right away.
Many of my friends and family reminded me the next day I owed her $300.
But when she asked
(e:terry) for the money in an email the next day she said, "there is no paper trail, but I remember we agreed to $500." Instead of questioning it, because he is so averse to confrontation, he just paid her. This made me crazy.
I had him write to her asking how the price changed all of a sudden. He wrote her this nice email saying how happy he was with her service and that he would use her again in the future but just wanted some clarification on what happend with the price.
A week later - no answer.
Maybe she didn't get the email. Maybe she is a scammy bitch who couldn't even be bothered to make up some story. I guess we will never know the difference. I know how I will remember it.
Personally I would never hire her again and told just about everyone I know how that went down including people who asked me about hiring her.
Good luck Lulu, I hope the extra $200 was worth it.
Next time I get a DJ they will be capable of online payment and they sign a contract in writing.
Its not really mine. It belongs to (e:yesthatcasey)'s girlfriend. I want one.
But it still ignites allergies (and that's why you have it in a plastic bag?)
