---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment > Maggie Jusiel > <http://www.magsmusic.net> Maggie, I was interested to note the geographical zones which you used for building mileage into your tuning fee. The areas, I assume form concentric circles around your home town, being 2, then 5, then 12, then 14 towns in number. How long has that system been up and running? Does it ever happen that a pair of customers who know each other, but each live a half mile of either side of a boundary, wonder why, being barely a mile apart, they pay a different fee. Or say, a piano teacher, or some otherwise eager musician lines up six or eight tunings, only to find that there is not one fee charged to all, because of addresses? This is the only problem I can imagine with what is otherwise a very well designed means of including a mileage charge in the tuning fee (which avoids on-the-fly calculations, and settles the issue the moment the customer gives you their address). If this hasn't raised any eyebrows among your customers, then it's a home-free solution to paying for drive-time and car wear'n'tear.
