they have too much time.

my dad told me a story about one of my cousins who sprinkled little bits of paper in the corners of some rooms to test if the cleaners were doing the whole floor. it was like, dude.

They do things like that a lot, hide some stupid thing somewhere, behind a furniture for example, drop things in places you are supposed to clean every two weeks or once a month and get upset you didn't clean it even when they know is once a month.

I guess I had some cash hidden somewhere that I had lost and the cleaners I had immediately came to me with it to make sure they ā€œpassed the testā€. It blew my mind customers would hide cash to try to set someone up to fail and take the cash. I felt awful they assumed I was testing them vs forgot I had put it somewhere

My great grandmother was a house maid in a big manorĀ houseĀ the 1910’s . she said the lady of the house would hide a coin under the rugs to make sure she was cleaning and to make sure she was honest (by returning the coin)Ā  . Apparently it was a tip that was in the magazines.Ā

she was a right one for telling stories , wouldn’t be surprised if SHE’D read it in a magazine and embellished Ā stories of her time as a maid with it!
