1) No you didn't suggest otherwise, but I'm getting a bit uncomfortable talking about her while she isn't here. And I wanted to make it clear that I'm not talking about myself, so I'm not in full possession of the facts or the motivation. In fact, I'm not going to prolong this discussion after this post.
2) When every customer matters, you don't want to run the risk of scaring them off by getting a reputation for taking people to court or whatever 'at the slightest provocation' as was sort of suggested above (yes, you know, and I know that it's a last resort, but potential customers will just hear that "XXX took so&so to court over a fiddly small amount so don't buy from them" If they hear the reputation for suing for payment first, they won't listen to the reputation for making wonderful things.
3) I hate repairs, I don't sew, so that was a personal judgement - I'd rather stack shelves than try to make a living altering existing garments if I knew that I had the skill to make something wonderful instead if only people would pay me for it)
4) Yummersetter, could you please edit your post to make it a quote from HL not from me - I didn't say that! |
