You cant be serious...

Not trying to pick a fight here but I think the comment of one being at fault for dealing with sleazy customers was a rather poor rationalization.

Especially considering the poor economic climate we're in, doing business is a hard game for nearly everyone. I know for myself, Im just happy to be working now. Im sure as heck not making what Id like to be, but in the same breath I cant complain too much. Half the people I speak to at work seem to be either in school or looking for work. Some by their own doing I will admit. But these are really hard times for many.

I assume the poster you replied to is in his own niche market. You dont get to hand pick those who want your product and are willing (and capable) of paying. Imagine if said poster told someone he felt was being difficult to go fly. They might talk with others in his area and tell them to stay clear. This is simply one of countless scenarios in which one might dig their own hole being too proud to work with others.

I see your off in Colorado. My best bud who lives just outside of Boulder tells me of life near himself. In his own words, in Boulder it is like a world onto itself. Economic down turn seems nearly non existent to him. Allot of upscale, well to do, well off folks going about their business. He is an air craft mechanic for a private company and is doing ok. He did 4 years in the military and 4 in college. He is a bright and reasonable guy. Very much self made and a believer in pulling one self up by their bootstraps so to say. But even he says out there its like a bubble compared to back home here in WI.

I dont want to imply too much here, but the idea that people have the luxury of doing business with whomever they wish whenever they wish is sadly not the case. Man I wish it where. If one is too proud to bend a little to make folks happy. They may find themselves with allot of free time nowadays.

All this being said there are limits to everything in life.

Again, just though that remark was a bit sweeping there... All the best to you though

Dave
