[pianotech] minimum service charge

 That would be my choice, as well.? If they were close by, I'd just stop at the end of the day.? If they were farther away, I'd tell them that if they can wait a few days until I'm in the area, I'll get to it.

If you're thinking short-term, you could see it as a loss of $.? If you're thinking longer term, you can see it as an act of good will from which everyone will benefit.

According to mapquest, it will only take me six minutes to get there from my previous location.

If all that's done is to remove the fallboard to remove an object, I will probably let this one slide.? She has given me several referrals!

It depends on how far you have to go and the time it takes to get there. For me,
I would not charge more than $40 for this if it took less than an hour to get
there. But i'm in a city with mass transit. If it took more than an hour to
get there, I would probably charge $60.
