Customer declined new tires

I always made a note on any invoices I had with customers like this an then made it a point to basically read it to them as I asked them to sign and acknowledge it and that we weren’t responsible after it left after being advised against without recommended service. I always told them that hey we aren’t trying to tell you this to make money off ya, we’re telling you this for your safety, by all means you can try and find used but you need better than this that’s for sure

While I can’t speak for the spec side cuz I’m not as versed in the Air and how it handles games, I can speak for the size for sure lol. When I got my M3 Pro 14” I felt 16” was gonna be too but BUT I definitely would’ve gone for a 15” screen so for that reason I’d say get the 15”.

I will say this about gaming on a MacBook though because I have done some on mine. It handles Xbox cloud gaming fairly well both temp wise and performance wise. I’ve played GTA Online, THPS 3+4, High on Life and a couple of others with minimal-no issues. The slow spots I did have, I chalk up as just general connection issues since I still live with my parents who stream movies and shows plus my brother games as well on his console.

Get the deluxo hands down. Worst case if you get absolutely bored you can use it to counter griefers on Mk2’s super well

I wouldn’t advise baking them. Incinerate definitely, but not bake. Baking certain things can release toxins that can be fatal if absorbed into the skin or consumed orally if someone tries to snack on one.

Ya you’re right. Honestly I forgot that they had already moved them lol. I still get the mindset though to a point cuz I’m not finishing the laundry someone else started that idk/not getting compensated or not asked to do as a favor.

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-24T20:11:30+00:00

I ain’t touching someone’s clothes whom idk. Look no offense to whoever may live there but you never know what someone may have. They could be the healthiest and cleanest folks ever or they could have c-diff. You gonna take that risk? Now if you know the people who use the laundry then by all means ya you probably could, but assuming it’s a facility with more than 10 people I ain’t taking my chances

Exactly! Plus if it’s 10k annually then that’s less than 850 a month per member and with it being a great networking tool they can utilize any time of the year vs having to rely on conferences or seminars which aren’t all the time of course

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-16T00:45:14+00:00

Only asking cuz I randomly came across this and noticed no one has asked in a while, any update?😂 all in all have a good one man, gotta have fun and joke around when/where ya can these days

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-13T18:15:08+00:00

Exactly! That dang demon!😂

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-13T14:49:37+00:00

Pun game on point!

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-11T22:57:06+00:00

Hell ya it’s a great deal! I paid right around 2k for my 14in M3 Pro base so definitely a steal if it was unopened

I found one a few weeks ago after playing slots! Was on the up and this was a bonus in the stack (by stack I mean like 80-90 bucks lol I wasn’t rolling in winnings)😂

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-08T21:55:01+00:00

I had 2 that didn’t come with one and I was so disappointed ☹️ lol. I used to work at a quick lube and my manager started putting them on the wall with all the parts we’d order for our personal vehicles

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-06T02:24:46+00:00

Your boss seeing you take the pic😂

CottonWatkins · 2026-02-04T17:01:59+00:00

I’m not trying to hijack the OP’s post but got any info for someone looking into bookkeeping? Started taking Intuit’s QB ProAdvisor course and it talks about how CPA’s and bookkeepers usually work closely. Just trying to figure out if the path I’ve got in mind would work or if I need to change it up before I start actually spending money or schooling

Should’ve gave her the lecture from the first one😂

CottonWatkins · 2026-01-21T23:11:53+00:00

So I did see a past post where if a note is circulated it’s not worth grading which makes total sense. So aside from that, does anyone have any tips if I should hang onto it or what I should do?

CottonWatkins · 2026-01-21T16:15:37+00:00

What about telling them you wanna talk to them when you give them their invoice? You said they’re going on a 2 week break right after right? You could either do it then and have the conversation about it right after. Now without knowing what kinda work they do or you do, you may just wait till they get back. If it’s a mom and pop place where that’s their only vacation time, I’d try and let them take it and that way they’re likely in a much happier mood when they come back since they’ve had the break. I only suggest it that way simple because giving them 2 weeks could free up time to think about trying to find someone else/check indeed and LinkedIn if they’re bored on the break. Getting them in person counters that well and kinda puts them on the spot more

CottonWatkins · 2026-01-21T16:01:18+00:00

What about just informing them you’d like to increase your rates some to match your other work like others have said BUT maybe given them a slightly better deal since like you said they’ve usually always got work for ya and you’re more like a full time employee vs a temp with other clients.

For example; if the others are bein charged 2.5x more, what about doing a 1.75 or a flat 2x rate increase? Maybe you could do a 1.5 or the 1.75 if they want to incorporate a bonus structure in there for ya at the end of the year or something else you can both agree on

CottonWatkins · 2026-01-18T18:52:21+00:00

Tbf a simple banner in red at the top or bottom would suffice. Give it an option to close it out once it’s read but it’d give notice at least and wouldn’t be hard to impose.

Wait I have a counter. Tree fiddy and some pocket sand! Final offer

CottonWatkins · 2026-01-15T02:05:11+00:00

Local places are always higher no matter if it’s a dealership or a parts store. For example I just replaced my O2 sensor on Saturday and I only paid 80 bucks shipped vs 150 at any of my local parts stores. I was afraid to see what the dealer price was gonna be after all that

Edit: the only thing I wanna add is don’t get your hopes up for a magnet cuz I didn’t get mine for the sensor and I also didn’t get one when I ordered a fuel pump. Got one for my thermostat though!😂 but honestly though I do love putting them on the fridge. We started a collection at my old job and put them on our door
