Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for August 12, 2024

My tip to you: Charge less~

You have to be kidding! Remember TIPS means “to insure prompt service” and your service was anything but prompt!

Dewey has a whole-house AC unit? He looks like an in-the-bedroom-window type.

Welcome back Pat. We missed you. Hope all is well now on your end.

At least the A/C is fixed.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

Welcome back. Glad the AC was the only issue from the storm.

And tomorrow the power will go out.

Either you charge professional rates or you ask for tips. Pick one.

Why should I tip? Why, because even cows tip. Asparagus tips. The Titanic tips…

Plumbers/electricians charge $200+ for a 30 minute job, often more than a doctor gets from insurance.

Everybody asks for a tip nowadays. With what it cost to fix Norm’s AC, a tip is just adding insult to injury.

I certainly hope he doesn’t expect 20%!

I have never been asked for a tip. I usually offer the guy a bottle of ice water during the summer.
