So, I ask one question, why is it that when someone doesn't know about a subject, they ask a question, but if they don't like the answer from people who know the answer, they get defensive and argue with them?

That is human nature.

You yourself fall into the same trap often.

Why is it you feel your way is the only way?

I have read many of your posts and your knowledge of the business greatly exceeds mine. [Linked Image]

The trouble I have is this, I have never seen you even remotely suggest that your way is not the only way.

Now unless your hanging with the Bill Gates crowd it is my opinion that your views are not as perfect as you like to think.

What I do know is that with all the jobs we do we never have refer to them as 'flat rate' and the company while having ups and downs is doing quite well and takes great care of us all.

My point in this thread has not been to change anyones mind but to point out that when someone says 'You don't understand flat rate' that in reality we all don't use the term flat rate the same way.

Do some Internet searching, there is no common definition of flat rate there are dozens of different uses of those terms.

Here is one that matches my definition of Flat rate

flat rate
Definition

A price per unit which remains constant regardless of the total number of units purchased.


Now is that what we do?

Do you charge the same price per unit for 5 hi hats as you would for 500 hi hats?

I doubt it.


Work safe, Bob
