This time of year I get alot of calls from people requesting a one time cut.<p>These can be people that are having a wedding...TOMORROW(!), in the back yard and the crapsman just threw a rod. Or it could be for any old reason.<p>It's a hassle trying to work for these people but after all, this is the service industry. I always appreciate it if my mechanic can squeeze my car in under emergency circumstances.<p>In any event, the common theme is that I have been recommended by someone that they know.<p>I always try to fit these cuts in because they might lead to a nice new long term customer, however, it usually doesn't.<p>Sometimes it does lead to free word of mouth advertising. Which is of course, the best kind.<p>GEO
