A Gift From An Estimate


Today I went to an estimate and when I was through the person insisted I take a bottle of wine. Well he had me chose and when I did he sort of laughed and said, that is the least expensive of all,Zicorra Capvto. I told him I don't mind it will serve its purpose. Then I thanked him and he thanked me for stopping by. It was a first on an estimate, I feel like most people don't value our time.

Well at least you got something for your time, don't it just make you when they use your time to either find out what to put down on their insurance claims or to find out if the local handyman is realy the cheapest person to hire?
