Ass charge
October 16, 2007Last night T did some “on-the-side” work for his former boss, who wanted to move his office to another room meaning the wiring for their system had to be moved. T agreed to move the system’s wiring for a fee and estimated it would take him 2 hours.
When he rolled in 4 hours later, I sleepily asked him what took him so long. He rolled his eyes and said in typical fashion for his old boss, he was too cheap to get someone to move the phone lines, the fax line, and some other lines and wanted T to do them as well. Not only that, everyone in the restaurant left T there (not that he doesn’t know his way around since he worked there for 8 years) finishing up.
I told him to tack some extra to the bill.
T asked why.
I said it is an ass charge for his former boss being an ass as usual.
