The Champ
Customer dropped off a blower last nite,said it wouldn't run, under warranty. This morning I picked it up and took a look at it, seen nothing wrong other than a wet muffler. Set it on the floor and cranked it a few times and fuel mix was pouring out the exhaust. Held the throttle wide open and cranked and cranked until it finally clear out enough to fire. She finally fired up and smoke poured out of it. After clearing out it ran perfect. Wipe up all the fuel mix off the floor and put a bill on the blower for $5.00. Customer came in this evening to pick it up. I went and got the blower, it been sitting all day. Prime it, choked it, second pull she sputtered, opened the choke and 3rd pull she fired up and and ran perfect. Re-started it 3 more times. Perfect everytime. Quite obivous he had flooded it. I told him so and he proceeded to tell me its under warranty, there should be no bill. I said warranty does not cover operator error or operaters flooding their machines. He tells me this isn't right, I shouldn't have to pay $5.00. He said this just isn't right, if I have to pay that $5.00 I'll have to go somewhere else from now on. Another customer was watching all this and spoke up and said I don't know where in the hell your gonna go and get anything done for $5.00.
I started to let the guy slide and forget about the $5.00 but everytime he comes in for anything he feels he shouldn't have to pay no matter what. I held my ground this time and made him pay. Question is did I overcharge him?
