The speakers describe attempts to collect (portal submission, emails), poor communication (no calls), and the business practice of delaying payments to gain cash-flow advantage. The tone is frustrated and accusatory toward the chain's payment behavior.

121 invoices, unpaid. 121. Do you know what the total.
Outstanding?
Isn't that crazy?
You have $84,000.
And so I went in there, and we had no clue because nobody called us. Nobody told us A chain. Yeah, okay. I said, hey, I have a lot of unpaid invoices. Your windows don't look great right now because we do them and we stop service, and they're like, our GM passed away. He died. And I'm like. Like, I had no clue. We're supposed to reach out to this other guy to find out what's going on with this money. Then they want me to go through a portal thing. So I filled out the information, I scanned the document. I've sent it back in an email. No response, no nothing. But you sure as hell opened that damn thing 17 times. That's annoying as hell. Like, why? Why am I chasing. Why? Why are you making me work to get my money?
Here's why. Because they understand that they can pay you in four months. They've made money in delaying their payments.
Sure.
Like, the game of business is you want to and you want to collect as fast as possible.
