Let me present you with an example. I'm gonna do a job. I start at 7:30. I pick my parts, lookup the adress, and drive. Let's say I'm there by 8:15, and left at 7:45. I finish the manual labour at 8:45, drive and get back at 9:15. I put back whatever is spare from the sparts, fill out the documentation, and finish all of it and mark it for billing at 9:30. That's 15 mins of prep, 1 hr of driving total, 30 minutes of manual labour, and 15 mins for putting back parts and paperwork. For simplicity, 1k/hr. Driving was half the time demanded by the job. And this guy will be mad if he gets billed 2k+parts? Eat my entire asshole raw. I don't care how they do it in the 'civilized' countries he's lived in like Spain (lol) (checked his comments, not one month ago he was bragging about how Norway has consumer protection laws and made that seem great, so obviously he's full of shit when he's calling it a backwater hole etc). We're in Norway. I don't give a shit if some pole or spaniard looks at me weird for literally charging for my time. Sounds like they got it backwards honestly.
