Electrician

– I haven’t brought the component I need. I’ll come back tomorrow, but I’ll bill you now for today.
– But you haven’t done anything.
– Sorry, company policy.
– OK, give me the bad news.
– Right, that’s 20€ travel and one hour’s labour @ 35€, 55€ plus VAT.
– But you’ve only been here five minutes.
– Sorry, company policy. Read the small print.
– If I charge for an hour I work an hour.
– Now, if you’ll just sign here.
– I’m not signing for an hour’s labour until you’ve been here an hour. Here, have a beer and let’s go and watch some soap opera.
– OK, let’s make that 15 minutes labour.
