If you hired someone to do a job, would it matter more to you that the job was done correctly or would you want them to take an amount of time that you felt justfied what you paid them?

I have a cleaning lady who comes every 2 weeks and cleans my 2 bedroom 1 bath house for $80. I have three cats and a pre-school aged child, so believe me when the two weeks rolls around, the house is a disaster.

I don’t care how long it takes her to clean, all I know is that the house is clean when I return home.

Today my parents went to my house to do something and they locked the door so that when the cleaning lady arrived, she could not get in to clean. The cleaning lady called around 4:40 to tell me that she could not get in. I called my parents to let them know that they locked the lady out, and they said they left around 4.

My parents big thing is that if the cleaning lady is arriving late in the day, she is not cleaning for a long time. My thing is if the house is clean I don’t care how long it takes her.

What do you think?
