Reply #36: Please thank your service next service person for me.

[Porcupine]

In response to all the people who said thank you I ask that you thank the next service person that comes to your home or office. Too often we are treated as if we caused the problem and we are imposing when we arrive to fix it. The vast majority of us are doing our best to help you out with the tools and resources we have.

So, thank the person for coming. Offer to make space if needed so that they can do their job and stay within earshot. If you feel it is appropriate offer a bottle of water or coffee. Finally as they are leaving make sure to look at the job/area yourself and check the job. Little fixes are easier and less troublesome than callbacks.

Thanks all.
