Service Worker Makes Job Take as Long as Possible When They Are Forced to Return to Site

A service worker was called out to a job and sent home moments after arriving because the manager on-site wanted to return home. So when they had to re-attend the site the following day they drew the job out for as long as possible.

Now, I know what you're thinking… Isn't that what every service person does any time they attend any job ever? It certainly seems like it. When the TV repair guy used to come to my parent's house he'd spend the entire day on the roof doing only-god-knows-what. (I'm only kidding please don't flame me in the comments service workers.)

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by Redditor u/Mother_Distance_4714, who was the service worker in their story. They shared the story of their brilliant response to their customer's demand that they return to the site the following morning.
