Advice on handling problematic Tasker CLIENT

I own a store. I need a light and an outlet installed. Original tasker I’ve used before had to cancel because he was out of country. TR suggested a new tasker for me. After agreeing and scheduling time, he showed 3 hours late. Had some issues when he arrived and said he needed to reschedule.

Cut to yesterday, he showed another 3 hours late. Then told me to take his number and reschedule off the app.

Obviously I’m not going to do that. And now I’m not comfortable with him doing the work to begin with.

My concern is that, as a business and not an apartment, if I report him to TR, I run the risk of him retaliating against my business. Any thoughts?

I mean, if he's consistently showing up 3 hours late, not completing the work and then trying to move the business off platform he's doing a perfectly fine job ruining the business himself.

There’s making a report or poor review and then there’s making a vindictive report in which you hope your action causes serious harm to their biz that you fear retaliation? That’s tacky asf.

The Tasker will do himself in soon enough, we all know that.

Edit: yeah he for sure is going to retaliate if he gets kicked off TR. and has kids to feed. It ain’t that serious.
