Fast Freddie

Fast Freddie may be the hardest worker of all the different upholsterers; while using his speed to get things done quickly he tries to do what he thinks is a reasonable job. Although he is not as sloppy as Cheap Charlie or Smooth-Talking Sam, his focus is not high quality work; he gets things done fast. Many customers think his work “looks good” and never notice that he took a few “shortcuts,” such as, leaving some of the old cover on or “making a few minor changes.” He thrives on trying to meet tight deadlines.

When he talks to the customers, he doesn’t spend much time with them. He subtly hurries them into making a quick decision. He promises quick delivery times and rushes like crazy to meet his often self imposed tight schedule. Most of the time he succeeds; he’s fast!
