Although, a question I occasionally wonder about, is how to appropriately determine a rate. A situation I occasionally find myself in is not being certain, since I will, as a rule, *never* bring up $.
Since I an a service tech that charges by the hour (no BNGs or half hour deals - LOL) I don't like it when I get onsite or after I send invoice they try to chingle me. So I do not try to negotiate a better deal.
Sorry Tracy some guys are dicks. One screws it up for the rest.
I would of let him haggle, get the money upfront and then let the "sorry, i don't do that or that or that"
or get him naked grab his nut sack and start twisting then tell him will stop for benji.
Skip that last one, some guys may like that.
I just left. Politely text him the proper etiquette for next time. Funny that he said he had been trying to see me for a while and had seen my website. Sheesh. Some guys.
