RHC: Yeah, it also might be that an alarm system is not a "fun thing" to buy; it's seem by many as simply an unfortunate but necessary purchase that they would rather do without. So it makes it easy to go cheap, or not go at all.
Had another interesting thing happen today. I had confirmed an installation for today a couple of days ago as I always do, and when we arrived, there was no one to be seen. Since the guy was a doctor, he couldn't be reached, so pissed off as hell, I left my card in the door and went home. A wasted day !! He calls my son later and gives no reasons for not being there, and no apologies, so my son said I would call back and reschedule.
Yah right, when hell freezes over!! As a doctor, he can leave me waiting for hours and I put up with it because I know his time is valuable, but he doesn't have the decency to treat my time as valuable as well. I'm thinking should send him a bill for a day's labour and see how he likes that.....
Prick !!
================================================================= A number of years ago I had a new doctor. Long story short. After spending 45 minutes in the waiting room (twice)for the first appointment in the morning I walked out. When I got home and wrote him a letter telling him my frustrations along with a invoice for my time along with a demand for my medical records so I could find a doctor that respected my time.
I got a check about 2 weeks later, with no apologies.
