That Tuesday in March when 11 calls turned into 4 dead fridges and one old lady's 1978 Kenmore
I keep a beat up logbook in the van and that week hit $2,800 in 5 days, mostly compressor swaps on GE and Whirlpool units around the east side, but the one that stuck was a widow on Vernon Ave who refused to let me scrap her 45 year old Kenmore because her husband bought it the year they married, so I swapped the relay and defrost timer for $60 and she made me eat a ham sandwich at her kitchen table, and I want to know if you guys still take the old relic jobs that pay nothing or do you hand those off these days.

Ham sandwich beats a tip any day honestly.

Used to roll my eyes at the whole "tip is better" thing, thought cash always wins. Then I ate a ham sandwich after a 12 hour shift once and it hit different, like actual food when you're running on empty. @piper_flores69 is onto something here. A couple bucks in your pocket is nice but a real meal keeps you going till the next stop.
