Night call out -- then cancell call
Just got off the phone with a national referral company. They want me
to go about half hour drive from here to fix a Detex lock on a back door. Won't lock. I went to bed about 10 PM, and they woke me about 11 PM. It's been a LONG day, and I'm dehydrated, frustrated, and tired. Got a couple repair calls that are really not being easy to fix. I called the store, and the manager there said to come on over. While getting dressed, the referral company called. The store had called several local companies, and one of them was at the back door. They woke me up at 11 PM. Though, they did cancell before I got out the door. Should I send a bill for a service call charge? Doubletime after hours? -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. |

You go and get paid whether you work or not. If they got you out of bed, they pay. -- Heard of the Frisbee Religion?

Oddly enough, I'd not heard that advice. But, it is good advice. I'll
remember it for next time. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "Larry Jaques" wrote in message ... That was a troll, Al.

That's about what I'm thinking. Ultimately, it wasn't the referral
company fault. The store which ahd the broken lock called another locksmith. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "Al Bundy" wrote in message ...

With some, the clock starts at the time of call, with others when you set foot out the door. |

It's kind of like calling the cops for a prowler and the prowler not waiting around for the cops. I hope it's the worst thing that happens to you all year ) |
