Company called to ask us to return the car in exchange for gratuity cheque. Duly went this morning. After an hour of being messed around they refuse to give us the cheque because the car is dirty, yes dirty I as a person am very particular about keeping cars clean and I can tell you this one is no dirty than any other car on the roads at the minute.

Why are they being so petty?

DaWarrior

Maybe they want to fine you for not cleaning it...

That is shocking BC. Did you let them get away with that? I don't know if you can still do it but I would have refused to hand over the keys until they gave me the cheque.

I've heard so many shady stories over the last few weeks about companies screwing over their redundant employees. Its not exactly news but there just seems to be nothing that protects the employee out here in a situation like this, unless you're willing to go to court and spend a fortune on legal fees for a negligible return.

I'm back for now by the way

Blue Cat

great to have you back, I missed you!! We have the car which we have to clean and then return on Sunday, hand over the clean car and hopefully get the cheque. petty or what

Blue Cat

@ankers, I am hoping you get a call today!!!!@!!!!!!!

Emerald_Eyes

That is ridiculous. You shouldn't bother and just say you did - they probably wouldn't even know the difference.

It's good to be back!

Beard Man

i didn't get it.

and how much is the cheque.

hawkhead

Clean it but then hide some prawns somewhere to slowly go off.....

Blue Cat

cheque is not a massive amount but not to be sniffed at either

Grace O Malley

Just pop a few in the air filter housing (you don't want them to fall off/out of the engine), should do the trick

Blue Cat

seriously we will get it valetted and try again Sunday. I think they are trying to buy time. Once we get the cheque I will express clear it, if you can?

BC,
Re the prawn thing: If the back seats are foldable, fold them forward, place the prawn in the 'U' lock in the floor and put the seat back upright, thereby locking seat and prawn into the 'U' lock.
I once had a pair of frog's legs locked into place like this. Had to drive with all the windows open for ages - until I found the bugger.
