My steel supplier used to charge for drops by the lb. I would pick
out my treasures, carry them all to the scale and get them weighed and
then take the slip in to the steel office. Early last year as steel
was beginning the price spike, they documented every piece and length
and charged by the item - not nearly as good of a deal for me but
still better than the new policy of paying for a cut fee every time.


So they are charging twice for the same cut. Is that a job for the Better
Business Bureau?

The BBB in the USA is nothing but a marketing agency. It has no teeth
whatsoever other than posting, on its own website, that some business
jerk is actually being a jerk. For that, they want about $500/year.

Pass.

No, you're royally screwed. We're liberal-governmentally screwed.
