TikTok user, @vencegarcia713, a landscaper, shared what happened after a customer decided not to pay him. The landscaper called authorities on the customer, and the video has garnered over 2.1 million views.
The landscaper uploaded the recording of the customer being apprehended with an on-screen text. It stated: “When a customer don’t want to pay up.”
In the description and comment area, the TikToker gave more information about what happened. He accused the customer of not paying $820 for the labor that had already been done. He added that the customer’s father requested that police check his green card.
When the customer, a woman, was being apprehended, she told police that her husband was connected to the situation, as well. Some users thought that was funny, citing that the woman was “throwing her husband under the bus.”
On the other hand, many viewers agreed with the TikToker’s actions.
“Theft of services. Glad you got police involved,” wrote one commenter.
“Why did they do business with you if they were that concerned about your green card issue?” someone else wrote.
Some people were divided on the issue. They wondered why the landscaper didn’t require a 50% deposit before he started the work.
“I’ll never understand why private businesses don’t do this,” one viewer stated.
