By giving the customer a T&M option, you end up with problems like this.

This guy is heck-bent that he was over-charged with T&M. I guess he doesn't realize that a helper is an added bonus to a job, but is not needed for EVERY aspect of that job. I know my superiors (Foreman, General Foreman, Project Managers, and etc.) do not say anything when I am watching a JW work.

I still say a flat rate price will get you further ahead everytime. Just add in all possible variables. If they don't like it, they can call Mr. XXXXXX.


**for those who don't know Mr. XXXXXX, he is a EC here in Metro Atl. that WAY overcharges people becasue he has catchy little commercials on TV.

Kinda catchy.
Anyways sorry for the long spew.

Thanks for reading.
