Have a blessed day

You know, I have a guy who works for me and every friday he needs (not wants) to be paid. We all go to work to earn a living. I get so aggrevated with people who hire us and then just decide that the cost is too much, long after they have already agreed - and of course after we have solved their problem. I started my company Parker Wildlife Control to help people with problems related to wild animals in their homes and or business. When I arrive they say the trapper is here! They sound grateful, and are happy to see the problem gone. Then they just ignore the invoice for weeks, I call and they say they never recieved it and can I resend it. I resend it, they say they never recieve it and money is a little tight, things got "turned around".
Whatever! Now I gotta be a jerk, and I can tell you I find that the hardest part of the job. Removing angry raccoons is easier. Trapping animals in hot attics in New Orleans in 97 degree heat is easier.
I noticed that folks who leave the msg "have a blessed day" to be the ones who dont pay their bills. Ironic, isnt it?
