PTG standards for pitch raises.

I don't say a whole lot on this site but I have a few thoughts on this one.
I don't charge pitch raises on a piano unless it is 50 cents flat.
I find it very hard to make extra money on something that takes me 15 to 20
minutes and still finish the tuning at the latest one hour and ten minutes.
Being in the north eastern climate, and tuning a piano every six months I
would be charging pitch raises and lowerings every time! How do you explain
that one to the customer. Gee your piano is 25 to 30 cents flat or sharp. I
guess I have to charge you extra for a pitch raise.

Where's the cut-off break?
