Call out charge

Posted by Majestic (Majestic), 8 November 2003

One of my shop customers phoned me on my day off and asked if I could go round and clean one of her shop windows as someone had left a curry on it . I explaned that I did not work at the weekend , but she pleaded with me as I was not due to clean them again for a couple of days and they looked a mess. So softie that I am I went and cleaned them .Now how much would you charge , would you just charge for the 1 window ,or the one window plus a call out charge ,taking into account that it is a good paying job , and I get a brew as well Cool

John,
i'd let this one go n bung on next time, if there was a next time for a special call out.You were gonna clean it soon anyway.

I have had this a few times over the years but i have just charged the normal amount and just put it down to one of those things that are sent to try us Grin

Ive had this.
The best solution is to say 'I wont charge you but if you would like to make a donation I won't say no'
