Imagine being a domestic cleaner at the moment

We have just had to let our cleaners go. We could barely afford the luxury anyway, but the stress it took from us was immense.

But the prices of everything going up is just painful.

But how shit must it be to be in a trade such domestic cleaning? Surely it's one of the first things to go. So those who clean will get a double whammy. Their cost of living goes up and potentially their income goes down. Hit from both ends.

Same with things like taxi drivers and so on and so forth.

@Davros

Out of interest, did your cleaner(s) who only accept cash provide you with a copy of their insurance and/or give you a receipt for cash accepted?

Personally, I’ve only ever insisted on cash if there’s been repeated issues with late payment (I’m absolutely not suggesting this applies to you of course)! I do know some cleaners who insist on cash because they simply can’t afford, or are unwilling, to take the risk.

No they didn't
