If someone calls me out of the blue wanting a pencillectomy, they get charged a service call, pre-warned in the initial phone conversation. I don't know them, we have no history, and I'm not looking to adopt. If they want a tuning too, the pencillectomy goes down to a couple of bucks, or a freebie if it just takes a minute. Regular loyal customers, I'll figure out a way to stop by and do it for little or nothing - depending. Habitual repeat offenders, regular, loyal, or otherwise, get charged a service call to focus their attention. Like with everything else, you have to split the difference between throwing yourself on the sword, or running someone else through. Throwing yourself on the sword is sometimes the thing to do, but remember that there are an infinite number of swords out there waiting.
