And I happil= y=20 give advice on the phone to anyone who calls. =20 Last week a woman called to tell me her keys were broken. I asked if all=20 the broken keys were right in a row, and she said, "Yes". I said, it's=20 probably a pencil that got stuck in there. She laughed and said, "A pencil= !" Then=20 she started to look. "I don't see anything in there...wait a minute...I=20 feel it! There it is! Man, you're good!" She still booked me to come a= nd=20 tune her piano, but I would never think of adding any money to the bill for=20= the=20 phone advice. For that matter, I wouldn't charge her for removing a pencil= ,=20 if all I had to do was reach in there and take it out. But if I felt as if I were being taken advantage of somehow, like you=20 apparently do, then I simply would stop giving advice on the phone. =20 They can't make you do it.
