Senior Rip Off
[QUOTE=Stu from NYC;1854598]If I was a competent handyman no way would I work for 20-25 per hour.
Lots of work for good people here.[/. I believe most of us pay the full month weekly grass cutting fee for the 3 winter months when the grass is cut only once a month. I had a well known local plumbing company install a kitchen faucet which was a simple no issue job which the not a real Plummer guy sent -showed up and made sure the 15 - 20 minute job went past 30 minutes so he could charge more. How about the recommended garage repair guy who I called due to the garage door chain shaking a lot.He showed up tightened a screw on the chain and charged me $60. For less than 5 minutes work. ( He wasn’t inconvenienced he was in the Villages working that day.)I could go on and on.There is a difference between ripping off seniors and charging reasonable rates. There are a lot of seniors living here that don’t have money to burn and so to pay fair prices for good services should be the norm not the exception.
