    I've been following the various threads about General Discontent
    related to being Paid On Time for services rendered and Not Being
    Paid at all. And this is what I have to offer: I make a living in a
    completely unrelated field, that is, Veterinary Medicine. And the
    stress level is very high. Just about as high as it could get if you
    had crying, screaming people holding a just-run-over-housepet with
    kids running amok and oh-by-the-way, we forgot our wallet the very
    first words out of their mouths: Save My Cat but We don't want to
    pay for your services. All that aside: If a client is very very good:
    honest, diligent, follows our basic instructions on how to take care
    of the housepets: we give them a discount on services rendered and
    allow them to pay over time if their vet bill is very high due to
    some unforseen circumstances. We are happy to grant these
    privileges. But if the client is completely uncomplient as we call
    it; they feed their cat/dog crappy food, let them run loose in the
    neighbourhood, never spay/neuter them etc etc we do what is called
    firing the client. That is, we say, nicely, patiently, Mrs/Mr
    dead-beat pet owner, please avail yourselves of Hospital XYZ's
    services down the road. We feel that your needs would best be served
    elsewhere. Thank you and have a nice day. It feels good because we
    never have to feel that we are selling ourselves out or selling
    ourselves short: we get to reward excellent clients and penalize the
    less than responsible pet owners. Believe me there is no law in the
    land that says I have to treat anyones pet if I feel that the "scene
    is going to be a bad one". I feel that this allows me to take
    control of my working life and my interior life too. You wouldn't
    believe how this eliminates stress. For what it is worth.
