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? </DIV><DIV><BR =
class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>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.<BR><BR></DIV><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" =
