Attention To The One in a Thousand Who Want To Beat Me Up Over Costs.

Let's get something straight. I don't want to rip you off, and I don't want to lose my job (unless you've got an uncle who has an amazing opening for a strapping young go-getter like myself.) See, I can't make things happen for free. If you want my techs to do a job, generally, there is a labour charge attached. I just can't wrap my head around how many people think that because something doesn't take a lot of time, it should automatically be free. This would be like me going to an upholstery shop with some fabric, stuffing and thread, and expecting a free cushion because I supplied the parts. We all have to eat, and the way we make our bread and butter differs. The real numbers behind most shops aren't fun, once you factor in overheads, tools and equipment and wage costs, things add up. Please don't expect me to have your "5 second" job completed at no cost, the accountants are watching from the shadows.
