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.




    Nah,
    Nice guys don't finish last, because they don't worry about the finish.
    Keep on being a nice guy.
