Scrapyards: Help Us Help You

I appreciate your answering posts Mallard, don't get me wrong.

An I bet you get some good ones, I've herd good ones as just a seller, I can only imagine what my main yard hears day in an day out. My main yard is awesome, they do no wrong. Heh. It should be how all yards are, if they don't know, they tell you so, no blowing smoke up your ass. Their prices are fair, an they treat you the way you treat them. An their quite helpful if you have questions. I know cause I used to ask all the time when I first started going.

The yard I mentioned in my first post, relies on one hit wonders I think. Anyone foolish enough to go there a second time is just asking for it. They mess with your weight, they act as if they know it all(see the oz of gold in every computer), an are rude no matter when you go in. First thing in the morning? Pissy. After lunch? Pissy. Some time before the yard closes? OMG Pissy.

There is also another yard near me, but they've gotten better. Less moaning if you want to see the scale, they moved all the rude workers to positions where they don't do with the seller/customer. An some other improvements..I still don't go there unless I'm desperate but I feel better if I send someone there now.

Ahh..I love what I do for a living. I Meet some of the awesomest people, an some of the worlds biggest idiots.

Was guilty of not looking at the ticket the other day and left the premises with pay for electric motors at .08cents a pound. My fault, but I'm sure if I take the ticket back, they'll make it right. They always paid .15cents but I noticed there were a couple new gals running the office. So my warning would be to "Beware of New People". They make innocent mistakes.

My regular yard makes mistakes too but they're not intentional and always make them right. I make mistakes too.......unloaded unprepared the other day and then pulled under the mag without reweighing the prepared iron. I told them at the scalehouse so they just averaged the load and it's always in my favor so it appears.

Tearing up my trailer with the claw or mag? No, those boys are ALWAYS aware of my equipment and apologize when they think they've bent a fender. On the other hand, I never complain to them of such....I expect some dings and bumps. Hey, I'm not in a massage parlor afterall; things can get rough in a scrapyard !! Overall they like me for some reason. Unlike one guy who threw a hammer at the mag operator for roughing up his trailer. That particular operator knows all the words in the dictionary plus some he made up and that testy customer was invited to never show his ugly ___ back in the yard again.
