[pianotech] Saturday Appointments

[wimblees at aol.com]

I have always tuned on Saturdays. Now that I'm in Hawaii, and need all the business I can get, I work 6 days a week. (Well, I'm available to work 6 days, but, unfortunately, there are week days when?I don't have appointments.) But when I was in St. Louis, I took Wednesday afternoon off. I just put a line through my appointment book, and just didn't schedule any?tunings.?Sometimes?I would do paper work or work on an action. But most of the time I?went out with my wife, and/or the kids. ?

I'm considering establishing a policy of "No Saturday Appointments."

It began as a favor to a customer who lived nearby, when they both began working away from home weekdays.

Once you make a Saturday appointment, you have a customer who will demand Saturday only appointments, and it doesn't take very many of those to claim most (soon all) available Saturdays.

How have others dealt with this?
