I've had people who should've known better lay on unrealistic expectations for price, turn-around, and quality. I recently told one guy to take a hike after having done business with him for 13 years! In my case, this guy questioned every invoice, nit picked the quality, and bumped up due dates, then had the nerve to expect me to deliver his stuff on weekends! The day our relationship ended, I made this customer wait 12 minutes for his job to be completed. He went into a tirade, and even went so far as to start yelling at my husband! I threw his stuff out the door. See Ya! The sad part was that it was a rush order to begin with in which I had to bump other work to get it done. He should've been kissing my feet for doing the job to begin with. The real problem was that I had let this go on for all those years, so he always expected me bend over backwards to get his stuff done. He knew I needed him as a customer, so he took advantage of that status and began dictating the terms of our working relationship. Lesson learned. <em>heidi's last blog post..<a href='http://shopdogdiaries.blogspot.com/2008/02/woohoo-i-won-something.html' rel="nofollow">WooHoo!
