I took a load to a guy yesterday evening, a real standup guy. I wish all customers were like him. I have previously deliver him 50 bucks worth about a month ago. He called and asked what i wanted for what was on my truck now. I told him it was a half cord, 85 bucks. HE said he was sorry but he only had sixty dollars, and asked kindly if i would bring him just sixty dollars worth. I said sure. I threw off about a wheelbarrow full on my porch, and decided that he was a pretty good guy, and i'd go ahead and take him a extra big load anyway. Maybe score brownie points for more repeat business at the least. So i got there and he had came up with seventy dollars and handed it to me. Said just let him know when to stop unloading when i felt it was 70 bucks worth. I told him to take it all. His son and him helped me unload, i was out in ten minutes. BAcked right up to the stack.He really praised my wood quality and the amount and assured me i'd get all his business and referalls. Made me feel a whole lot better about the situation. And i measured before i left and he still ended up with a half cord stacked. So he got a good deal, but its worth it i think. I wouldn't do it every time but he was honest and straight up. And he didn't expect to get the full load anyway. So, moral of my story is, good people to deal with makes you get back in good spirits about the whole situation. And on a side note, while i was warming my truck up a lady in a cadillac pulled up and asked what i get for a load. Said she had saw my truck there. I told her 85 and it was like i shot her. She acted speechless... i said ma'am, thats over a half cord. She ssat there and stammered about high prices for a minute, i just told her to have a nice day and drove off. She didn't know it was already spoken for anyway...lol.
