Now Yunkman You say your total load was $42.50 and my share was half of that.
That must mean you have to pay 50% to auto shop ?? . If that be the case you need explain to them what is going on
you can't pay half as even $21.25 you could find in metal with less work..
During these times we are offering the favor . The auto shop needs the service , & the moneys not there any more
.I'm still in shock .
Thanks Copper Head,
I know.....nice guys finish last, but these guys are my friends and I park my equipment on their lot at times so I look at it as a favor returned. (He also gave me a $30 load binder and some pallets that day). I was 50 miles from home at the time and didn't go there just for that load. I've always done business on a 50/50 basis with all customers. When (IF) this thing turns around, they'll still be there for me. I got $21.25 plus $12.75 bonus which I kept so $34.00 for 15 minutes work and a 6 block drive was well worth it for me. Two guys helped load it by hand and the mag unloaded it at the yard, the secretary smiled at me (girl...lol) and I got to share my donuts with a stranger in the office on top of it. (Made a friend). The $34.00 paid for the gas for my 100 mile trip that day which purpose was delivering alfalfa hay to a local dairy. $680.00 for the hay kinda took the sting out of things. I know..........I'm too nice. Alot of people tell me that but maybe there will be a reward for that too someday. Just another viewpoint I guess. Appreciate your input.
