[pianotech] sick customers

[David Love]

By the same reasoning you shouldn't mind a no show, assuming you can
reschedule it.  Technically, it is a loss of income since you drove there
for nothing and presumably have no other appointment waiting in the wings as
a back up.   You have squandered you time and that is, after all, what you
are being paid for, ultimately.  

 

Having money saved is always a good idea-especially these days.

I would think you would be able to reschedule, so technically, it wouldn't
be a loss of income.

 

Especially in our line of work, it is always a good idea to have money saved
during our good months, so on the "skim" months we can get by.

    A customer answered the door once and said, "Come on in; we're all sick,
but we'll stay out of your way -- just go ahead and do what you need to do."

    What I needed to do was to leave, but I think I stayed and tuned anyhow.
It was a long time ago.  But nowadays, I'm not so willing to risk getting a
cold or the flu and being laid up for two or three weeks, missing all that
income.   

    Do the rest of you refuse to go in if there's a good chance you'll get
their cold?
