When people baulk at paying for...

[Vespasian]

If I go out tomorrow an buy a twenty thousand pound woodchippper, does that mean I should charge two grand for a two hundred pound job?...

 

After all I've invested in machinery and surely every new customer should help me pay for it...

 

Or, should I charge the same knowing I'll get the job done quicker with my new piece of kit...

 

same with that idiot charging a fortune for a slice of lemon...

 

If she/they had any sense, they'd make their money on their reputation for good service and good food.

Not on ripping off customers who walk through the door...

I agree, Its a sad day when you can't have a cup of water, warm or cold, i dont buy all that about the 3 minutes for the dishes either, they all washed in dishwasher,

 

If they charged me for water i wouldn't go there again out of principle, we all know the feeling of having something for nothing once in a while. I wouldn't charge for water and i dont expect to be charged either.

Rubbish, why should she go in there and expect something for nothing just because it's a slice of lemon and hot water, she wanted a drink and got what she asked for.

And they are all free, and so is the detergent and the electric to run them, they are also self loading and they stack the cleaned pots as well ............................No wait

Its only tap water for god sake, its free to the shop unlees they are on a meter,

 

we live in a world of everyone on the make, and its sickening sometimes,

 

Just look at delight on someone's face when you give them something for free, as i say its only water,

I often do small extras for free, in reality they cost me very little, but the goodwill they can generate is priceless IMO.

You are been selective.

The glass in question is washed alongside probably hundreds of other pieces of cutlery, so the actual cost is niether here or there,

 

Do you charge your customers for quoting for work after they have asked you to take a look? Or is it all part of the job.?

Precisely.

You're not wrong there Dave, i can generally smell free loaders a mile off and they dont get too much for nothing off me, but the genuine ones are a different kettle of fish and we will do small add-ons if i feel its appreciated.

Why would you go into a cafe if you didn't have any money to pay?

 

That's taking the piss more than charging £2!
