>     Is there a good story attached to this? 

    Well, not a GOOD story...one in which Joe Jeweler gains vindication
    and retires on Barbados. 

    She's just one of those time consuming, brings you junk, swears
    fealty but buys elsewhere, price complaining, hounds you on the
    phone.....losers. 

    I say loser because I see absolutely no way dealing with her is ever
    going to be tolerable, let alone profitable. Actually its me who
    loses every time. 

    So I'm thinking I shall finally install that minimum service charge
    (which I can waive for my decent customers, as is my prerogative)
    I've been angsting over for months. 

    I really don't need someone who repeatedly has a cow over a ten
    dollar repair charge when I have some others who say, "Oooo, thirty
    eight thousand? Are you sure that's enough, Neil"? 

    Normally I am an egalitarian sort of guy, I put energy and grace
    into small jobs as well as big ones. Maybe I'm just finally at the
    point where I can be a tad selective. Hope so anyway. 

    If anyone has tried minimum service charges, I'd be interested in
    feedback.
