"I watch my credit card and bank accounts like a hawk" Me too. Speaking again of service. Try spending several HOURS in a difficult customers' home performing a service. On top of you constantly. suspicious and rude. They may have had a bad experience with the salesperson, perhaps,but you can bet they will take it out on you for hours. Also...it seems the more "well-to-do" they are,the worse it gets. You could spend all day in a blue collar workers home and be fed, and get a $50.00 tip on your way out the door.The same mount of time and work in a nice home on the lake and you will not even get a glass of water. There is a saying in the trades. "The longer the driveway,...The smaller the tip" As far as this being an OT subject. I think it's quite refreshing to see an OT thread live this long here. It gives those who may normally dis-agree on some subjects a chance to agree on another. Tom
