I should point out that my situation was a little more unique. After years working on the shop floor I started working from home. Essentially brokering. I hate that term (it makes me sound like a sales person). So my time was my own. My methods wouldn't necessarily work in a higher production...

I found it to be less grief just to make corrections myself and have done with it, rather than go back & forth trying to explain and still not having the file properly corrected. Presuming fixes were relatively simple. I wouldn't charge for small fixes. But if it became habitual (same customer)...

Break out the popcorn!

Never! Afternoons/nights = less people, less politics and best of all, no hovering sales people.

Similar. I used to play with Bryce. Also Poser. Even now when I see a nice sunset I'll think to myself; 'Looks just like something out of Bryce.' : )

Bryce?

Whatever the artist could tell you he was trying to convey, it can't be that much more confounding than what I've heard from some design agencies to describe their logo creations.

Another one. It has a metal inset along the side to prevent wear. Could have used one of those reduction wheels this morning.

Often 'trade only' shops will have a retail division as well that could operate under a different name but same building, same equipment etc. Also, they don't seem to vet trade qualifications closely. If you have what looks to be a bonafide company email address, you're good to go. Awhile ago I...

Why stop at metal straws?! I think people should walk around with their own place settings. You know; just in case they decide to stop at some fast food joint on their travels. Plate, knife, fork, spoon, glass/mug. Salad bowl, bread plate etc. could be optional. Pretty sure restaurants would be...

Many customers lie about their 'absolutely must have this' by a day or more depending on the size of the order. I reached the point that I just assumed all but a select few were fudging the time when they actually required the order. Especially the 'must have Friday PM' crowd, when you knew damn...

This presumes a phone number has been provided and not just a chat-bot (which has never helped anyone). And if there was a phone number, the line would have gone dead by the 4th frame.

Once had a debate for a good 5 minutes over an ink colour before he came clean and confessed he was "a bit" colour blind. He went on to tell me he distinguished stop lights by the lights position on the pole—not by the colour, because he couldn't tell them apart. He had difficulty with reds...

When I moved from Western Canada (BC) to Ontario we saved up a couple months or so worth of plastic pop bottles. Arrived in the grocery store with a cart load of them to collect our deposit money. 'Where do these go?' Clerk looked at us like we were from Jupiter. No deposit/return here. Had to...

Not here. At least I never worked for a shop that didn't charge for film, film assembly (stripping) & plates. That didn't stop some from using an excuse similar to what you state (or whatever else they could make up) to keep the film. Some claimed a legal right. Bullshit as far as I was...

These would be the same characters that keep their garbage & recycling bin out back under lock & key because of some paranoia that competitors were rummaging through in the middle of the night for the purpose of stealing customers. I knew of a large shop that would cover up machinery if another...

Most customers don't count unless it's quite a small amount. Personally, I ensured customers had a few overs. Subcontracting, I was billed for overs once. There had been no previous indication this would happen. I complained, pointing out my years of experience within the business (don't try...

I was bumped to Production Manager at a couple of different work places. I was given an increase in pay, but exactly as Gords' cartoon states, no overtime pay. However it did give me freedom to move about the shop, get out to see suppliers etc. and generally free reign to do a lot of what I...
