    I'm really aggravated. A customer of ours that used to be 15 minutes away decided to move their shop an hour away. I told them we don't go out that far on service calls and instead of accepting my answer, the shop foreman emailed my boss asking for a quote to come there to do calibrations. All of their machines are low to the ground and require a lot of kneeling and crouching which is hard on me with having arthritis in my legs. I was actually glad when I heard they were moving. Now it's looking like I may have to go do it.

    You should at least get a pay raise for that one. If the customer is paying more, then you shouldn't settle for the same pay.

    I got FA Clove in a small order recently, so finally got around to a first try at a Birdsnest Elixirs Maestro remix that SMT gave me some guidance on a while back.
    It's been about six years since I last had Maestro so I doubt I'll ever get super close.
    This attempt definitely smells too coffee forward off the shake, time will tell where it goes.

    Hoping all of you have a good weekend! :thumbs:
    Good luck with your mix and you have a good weekend too!!

    I do get commission. If I have to go then I’m going to up charge them. I told the guy no already but he decided to contact my boss. That really makes me mad.

    Don’t blame you for being mad.

    It’s ridiculous! The only reason they moved was because the labor rate there is cheaper then they want me to put myself another day behind to take care of them. We used to charge them $115 per machine but I may up that to $150.

    The quote should include a travel time + expense charge, and you should get extra commission for driving there and back. :2c:

    You should up it.

    I think I’m most likely going to have to do it but it’s going to cost them.

    Let’s move on to a happier topic. What’s everyone up to tonight?
    I’m figuring out if there’s anything I want to watch on TV.

    Wrangling with my CPAP company. They are hitting me with a bunch of little charges on my account, nickel and diming me to death. Any one is not worth calling over, but they start to add up. The wait time on hold was 15 minutes, so I just requested a call back. Should be hearing from them soon.
