Must be a Philippine special. They toss nickels around like manhole covers. When I have time to kill I keep them on the phone explaining to them that before I retired I earned $250 an hour . That is about a months pay in the Philippines.
I tell them if I wanted the shop I would have put it on my schedule. Only a novice would take such a shop because they do not know any better. They offer marketing shops that are capped for time and the only time they call is when the location was not serviced for a long period of time. You know the job can not be completed and they will reject the partial effort and not pay you. Then I ask them if I am correct. I ask how much they would be willing to pay and always reject it. I negotiated a better rate, and even then it was not worth the hassle.
